At this point all we can do is take all the necessary precautions to minimize/mitigate our exposure by following the basic protocols. Pandora's box has been opened once we opened up the Country again. We're in a transitional time until a vaccine becomes available that will reduce risk more but not eliminate it. I fell this will become another "seasonal" virus, bit one that occurs year round. Maybe over the long haul, we are able to build up a herd immunity, but I feel that's a long ways off.

63F at 630 AM. Un-effing real. Love it.

This stretch of warmth has to be almost unprecedented for November. 6-7 days of 70F.

Hunting thread?

Damn, 80F yesterday at TAN.

Looks that way. Somewhere in the middle is still my bet. 1/2" to 1-1/2"

Still unwatchable. Made it thru 1 quarter before I bailed.

12z GFS and Euro are light years apart on rains this week. Somewhere in the middle looks most likely.

May have to take the cover off the condenser unit and fire it up!

79F. Gonna blow the daily high record out of the water, which was only 68F. Looks like this will be November record high as well. Previous record was yesterday and the day before that at 76F.

I tried to watch that for a bit over the last several days, and it was like watching Martian TV. They're living in a completely different realm that all the other major networks.

Where?

76F, that's a 41F diurnal temp swing.

71F as of 11AM here. 35F for my low.

Some slight damage reported from yesterday earthquake. https://www.wcvb.com/article/earthquake-strikes-massachusetts-november-8-2020/34610179

Amazing behind the scenes.

It was a great segment to watch. The General made no reference to the specific amount of vaccine they have stockpiled so as to not open up any avenues of question on it. They went over the logistics of the storage facilities and the type saying dry ice is the way it has to be stored. They also went over the computer system that was developed solely for the purpose of monitoring and tracking the virus and vaccines. It has all the facilities that would store the virus and all the locations where you could receive from hospitals to clinics to pharmacies. The system didn't exist several months ago and has yet to be fully tested, which will occur only once the vaccines are distributed and given.

Did you see the 60 Minutes segment in the link I posted earlier? They go through the whole process. There's already a stockpile of vaccines at the ready for whenever the approval is given for use.

I never said you did. Others are accusing them though.

There's a difference between a healthy dose of skepticism vs accusing them of rushing a drug to market without checks/balances. Past history does not predict future outcomes or events.

Agree, the conjecture by some is strong.

Which model to believe this week? GFS or Euro? They are night and day apart on rains.

My bet is that is probably how long the efficacy will end up being. I see Covid as a more virulent strain of the Influenza virus and that vaccine lasts around that long as well.

While you may not, there are many more high risk people that are and will be.
