Wear a mask, Rogue. If not, you certainly have the freedom & liberty to stay at home.

Egotistical is too kind. I call them maskless covidiots

I've noticed that in other countries, when there's an outbreak or a cluster, they pounce on it immediately. They don't hesitate to lock down if necessary. They are hyper vigilant. They watch the data like a hawk and pounce if they see something anomalous. We don't have that mentality. Incidentally, Israel and Hong Kong have shut down again. They said that schools were the primary reason for their renewed outbreaks.

They say 20% of small businesses go out of business every year. So 2% of small businesses being "permanently closed" seems like what typically happens anyway. Of course, you could have all businesses fully open but have them be fully liable if there are outbreaks at their location. But I guarantee you no business would want to open if they were held liable for outbreaks. They want government to shield them from risk

There's a COVID thread in the New England forum. The usual suspects are over there advocating for the barbershop and tattoo parlor economy in case you guys are missing that discussion.

Agree that we shouldn't become overly optimistic. The CFS weeklies have consistently been showing an eventual transition to a colder look -- even while we were in the midst of despair when the Central Pacific ridge wasn't moving on the 15-day ensembles. They are continuing to maintain a cold look throughout Feb....so there is that.

A few days ago, we heard about the Central Pacific ridge correlates to a death knell for winter. Now we are talking about too much blocking and cold and dry. Times have changed!

You're both wrong: Peak temps are mid-January.

Well, let's look at the bright side: Hopefully this January won't be as tropical as January 2006. Or January 1950. Or, worst yet, January 1932. I've read somewhere that mosquitoes were swarming in January 1932!
