I saw him with Harv on TV last night. Maybe January rocks?
-
Wachusett might open for a bit very soon. My son is on call if they decide to open. Not bad considering it was in the 70s last week

We are still on the fence about going to my brother in law’s for Thanksgiving as we usually do. It would not be a large gathering anyway but we would prob have to bring my mother in law who is 89 and has some health issues. Between my wife, daughter and I we are each in three different schools. My nephews are in two other schools. The odds would not be great. I am for punting it this year. and I really don’t care what neighbors do. They can have a hootenanny for all I care

Ray, will #2 be named Hadley?

The gym I had belonged to previously has put up all sorts of plastic/plexi barriers between pieces of equipment, spread stuff out, etc. I am personally preferring the home workouts I started in March but I'm glad to see the gyms have been safe so far
-
Buuuutttt.... my wife's cardio pulmonologist (a bigwig at UMass Medical) recommended that she avoid the gym if she could She has several underlying conditions, but worked out a ton...

From some numbers I have seen, (not sure how accurate they are), in Massachusetts at least, gyms have not contributed very many cases. Between 7/6 and 11/14, a consortium of Massachusetts Independent Fitness Operators had reported 1,384,349 gym "check ins" and only 45 reported cases 0.00325% That's below community rates by a ton

They are making snow at Wachusett right now (10:30AM) Kinda surprised in a way. Today is cold, but a warmup is coming
-
MCO is awful to get out of... at least it was in 2019. A lot of people get that pre-screen thing. I forget what it is called
-
On the Mayo website, they mention that Covid may cause GBS...yikes...
-
Yeah... I mis-typed the date. I haven't heard much about it since it was first announced over the summer. We had ours done in mid October based on our PCP recommendation... he suggested we get it mid to late October.

In Mass, flu vaccination now required for school by Dec 3. That's a new one... Edit: Dec 31... fat fingers
-
I saw a picture of the Magical Express line the other day. Super long... but prob due to social distancing. Not sure if you use that service
-
Give me JetBlue any day over SW I used to love them... The whole seating groups etc bugs the crap out of me.
-
A tricky problem for many Americans. Don't get the vaccine but be willing to continue with masks, etc.? Get the vaccine and have a document saying you are good and can attend concerts, not wear masks, etc? How would that work? I am guessing my job will require vaccination... we had to for the H1N1 (I think??)
-
Might be a good time to invest in companies that manufacture deep freezers and dry ice equipment... at least in the short term
-
Yeah. Looks like 95% efficacy and no short term negative effects. I wonder how long immunity will last. I’m guessing a yearly booster

That never gets old

Ginxy’s mention of immunity news for me searching. This is promising. But one study https://www.healthline.com/health-news/how-long-does-immunity-last-after-covid-19-what-we-know#What-we-currently-know-about-COVID-19-immunity
-
Anecdotally, people I know who have been tested are generally being told to expect a 3-7 day turnaround time but are getting the results in 1-3 days. Sometime like Ginx said under a day. I think it depends on where you are getting it done as well
-
Could I ask why you don’t get the flu vaccine? I know a bunch of people who do not. I know it isn’t largely effective, but my understanding is that it is incredibly safe.
