Texas is 4th from the bottom in percentage of residents who have received 1 or more doses. Again I would give them a bit of a pass due to the issues from a couple of weeks ago
Texas is also 42nd in percent of doses of vaccines administered vs what they were given. I’m guessing the power and weather issues have played a role in that.
They are still averaging over 200 deaths per day (7 day avg) there. That’s pretty rough considering how things can be handled. I hope the mask thing works out for them. I really do. But not sure what the big deal is about wearing them.
I dunno. Texas was averaging over 300 per day for a while. Not sure how that compares per capita to others.
That surge was a few weeks ago when we knew a lot about the virus States like NJ and Mass and NY were spiking when we had no clue about what to do
Don’t really care what they do really. It’s all ending soon enough. I wouldn’t follow anything Texas does though.
Happy to see that I am now eligible for getting vaccinated, although I am thinking it will take me a while to find an appointment.
I really think supermarket workers, etc should be ahead of me in line though
Oh yeah. I recall that. Out where I live everyone uses septic systems. In towns nearby that have town sewer they don’t feed into MWRA and they don’t test that I know of
The poop seems to be the most accurate predictor of trends imho. Are they doing it in other places beside MWRA?
im also looking forward to warmer weather to drink beers outdoors at breweries. That was always my preference before the Vid
How many people have been arrested for not wearing masks? Pretty much zero. It’s not like Covid was the flu. Over 500k Americans and counting. We did horribly here at controlling it.
It should be back to normal pretty soon is my guess. Numbers are dropping in every category. Maybe not as quickly as some would like but we are getting there.
Sleep last night was hard to come by. At one point around 1AM the wind speed and direction was enough to create a resonance in either some siding or roofing or across a gutter. Made an odd vibrating sound on two different occasions. Very strange. Never encountered that before
B- here so far because of January. Extra credit for October
March could raise or lower the grade. Already above or near seasonal average for snow with a few good events
The ones who have been around have also changed their song. Very noticeable the last two weeks. They know.
Also, we saw a small insect crawling around on the snow when we were walking the dog yesterday. It was below freezing and snowing but this bug was doing it’s thing
Warm... not quite a torch though. What is the normal high for around here now? Must be upper 30s at least
Edit... looks like for Feb 27/28 ORH averages around 38F for a high... so a little above that
Def feels warm though
