It is! Hopefully more liberals on this thread stop buying into the panic porn and fear, and start believing real data. Recent Gallup poll showed that 70% of registered Democrats believed the hospitalization rate was 20% or more, with 41% believing the rate was 50% or higher. The actual rate is obviously much lower. Let’s focus on the science folks, things are getting much better overall with some bad pockets. Individually get your vaccine and get back to living your life

I will say too this thread continues to fascinate me. Politically I’m pretty down the middle but moving right before this occurred to a fairly conservative state I think affects my POV quite a bit. Even in conversations with family, they seem shocked at how open and chill it’s been around here

Oh absolutely. But we’ve overall done a great job juggling being open while keeping people safe. I have a lot of coworkers in both Canada and Europe and it’s intriguing how much fascination they show in how life is here. Just a ton of fear and little hope over there, while even our President believes life will be normal completely by July 4th

Have to say I think when all is said and done, the USA will have handled this the best. Have some Canadian counterparts (office in Mississauga) telling me that Ontario is pretty much under martial law (cops can pull you over to ask where you are going) and that even outdoor activities like golf are banned. Meanwhile a young person like myself was able to get fully vaccinated relatively easily

Man this thread makes me not regret my decision to accept this promotion I'll say this, we have not hit 80 much which is rare for this region by this time of year. Overall a chilly April for the Eastern CONUS

http:// https://www.newsweek.com/michigans-top-health-official-vacations-alabama-after-whitmer-tells-residents-not-travel-1583686?amp=1 Cant make this stuff up guys. Michigan’s health director took a vacation in Alabama after telling people the state needs to lock down.

Because it’s a 1 in 1 million chance of getting blood clots while we still have hundreds dying of this pandemic daily

He came on NBC News tonight with Lester Holt and said he supports this decision 100% and that we need to investigate before anymore doses of this vaccine are administered

Need to fire Fauci folks. This cancellation of the Johnson and Johnson shot is the last straw. Pure fear game with that guy

Haven't seen hardly a drop in the Lowcountry for awhile

Well it's causing a little friction I'll tell you that, this is a very proud people down here and being Southern is a very important thing to them. For example many towns in the Charleston area push back against national chains because it takes away from local businesses, this is why things like Dick's Sporting Goods and Buffalo Wild Wings are a rarity here. One thing I've seen though is the more liberal folks have taken to Colorado or a western state as the transition to this city has been bumpy for many of them to say the least. With the exception of GA, I don't see any of these states flipping because those who adapt to the culture are those who stay long term.

Wrong. Companies are moving along with their people en masse down to the South. How do I know this? Because I’m one of those people lol and so are many of my friends. The sun belt migration is on full bore here. Talent wants to live in cool places with nice weather, it’s why Nashville, Charlotte, Charleston, Atlanta, Birmingham, Tampa, Austin, Dallas are absolutely exploding. Then factor in that these companies are moving factories here to avoid unions and opening up downtown offices for their white collar personnel in a more business tax friendly climate. Cap that off with a more friendly weather climate and you’ve got a boomtown. Sorry about the OT rant, feel free to delete Hoosier

Have you ever played a sport? Not being mean but if you’re trying to get gains and max out, this is not doable at hone unless you have some serious setup. Also you have to have a partner to spot you as well. Running actually hurts getting bigger

Michigan hitting another high today. I think it’s extremely apparent that this partial lockdown stuff just does not work. You either do what we did last Spring, or open everything up and require masks. What’s happening in that state is the equivalent of hiding in the bathtub with an EF4 coming for you

It's been beyond brutal lately. Out camping a few weeks ago by Lake Murray I went to bed with an N95 mask . Might need to throw the dirt bike goggles on if it keeps up with this as I look like I'm consistently stoned

Couldn't agree more. We're talking about an education here, that's one of the most important things for a young person. In addition, not many have the luxury of working from home daily so what are they to do with childcare? It's a damn tough spot all around the longer this drags on

Serious question here. What the hell is going on in Michigan? How is it spiking so bad but only within its borders?

This does not shock me at all. The amount of northern plates I've seen the last few weeks, especially on I-95 is noticeable. Lets be honest, this is a great time of year to vacation in the South and people with the means to in the North are taking full advantage. Wouldn't shock me at all to see surges in Virginia and Illinois as well shortly, seeing a lot of people from there lately as well. A pale family wearing all Cubs hats is a dead giveaway

Can't have this in the United States. Our ancestors came to a place with arguably the most intense and varied weather in the world which is why a top notch weather service is absolutely required. The frequency of blizzards, tornadoes and hurricanes in the CONUS is pretty intense compared to most places. Just look at Toledo, you've got an average high of around freezing for DJF and an average of 36" of snow a year while having an average high of 85 in July. That is pretty extreme compared to most places, maybe most similar to Western Russia and parts of China

I'll tell you guys what, that pool is for sure calling my name after work. Cannot beat this weather currently

I was watching some sports highlights during the Tigers game. Are they really making HS athletes wear masks during games in Michigan? That is absolute pure insanity to mandate that. Lol I’m highly confident with my mild asthma I could not play basketball with a mask

Bingo. I actually have to fly into Detroit here in a month for work. Looks like the days of my rear end sitting behind a computer only are coming to an end You should check the CVS site regularly, it’s how I got mine so quickly

In all my life I never thought little ole Pioneer, OH would be in a discussion on here haha used to kayak all the time on Bird Lake just north of there. This isn’t that complicated folks, get your vaccine and live life without fear

Chamber of Commerce Day here in Charleston. 75° with no clouds and a slight breeze. Dipping into the pool but too cold to stay in for awhile

There’s more than one reason to be thankful we live in this great country
