St. Ignace literally just had 11" on Wednesday morning. I am sure the other side of the bridge did well.

Depends on which day he went up.... I was in St. Ignace 5 days ago and there was less snow than Howell.

Seeing blue ice at the mackinac bridge was pretty sweet

Surprised you went up there... I think there was more snow in Howell than Mackinaw City.

I'll continue keeping myself in shape and just live my life with minimal risk.

I'll buy wetter and warmer. Outside of the SSW induced cold we just had, its been a warm winter.

Just say, outside of February.

I saw a line from Fauci about mask wearing possibly until 2022.  Couldn't believe it.  Maybe he's being overly cautious or something.

With the reports of the flu being non-existent this year, I wouldn't be shocked to see certain pols calling for mandatory mask usage during certain months even after COVID fades into history.

I'll be voting against those pols at every chance.

I'm waiting to see people clamoring for lockdowns to protect the population against the new variants that the vaccine doesn't protect against.

Absolutely agree, the roll out in general has been absolutely terrible due to the negligence of the last administration. It is only now things are starting to right themselves some.

You gotta be shitting me.

Won't matter who's president, as long as people are in bad health, they'll die if weak enough.

Big wake up call to people who think being fat is ok.

Just because something is worsening doesn't mean it's not still lower than most countries.

Being fat is a part of the problem.

fwiw, you can probably add 100000 onto China's final current number. Still like the rest of Asia, blows the "west" away.

China probably has one of the lowest obesity rates on earth. I'm sure their tally is a total lie though.

COVID just gave many people on the brink a little nudge off the cliff.

Are we really going to ignore obesity rates and how that has played into all of this?

Just for comparison, how many births today?

8,000 Americans die everyday with or without COVID.

Record lows set at Detroit (38F) and Flint (30F). it appears that all outlying/rural areas either had a freeze or were close to it with heavy frost. The DTX NWS office in White Lake got down to 27! very impressive for it technically still being summer. We had some rooftop frost here but not on the ground. 

Hit 30.2 on my backyard sensor.

Birdbath was frozen.

I've been at the gym a bunch of times already. The mask isn't too big of a deal for lifting weights but doing anything high intensity and it is extremely difficult. So I've been doing my cardio outside/home and weight lifting at the gym.

I tried doing the bench press at home with a mask on this past evening just to see what I could expect. My face was hot as f-ck, but it's doable.

The only reason the gym matters at this point has more to do with the lack of equipment for sale. You're limited to Facebook marketplace and people are gouging because they can.

A 45 lb. plate is $120. 

Hyped for Tuesday and the end of the 6 month closing of gyms.

Gains > COVID

This thing is wrapping up in Michigan.

Virtually everything is opening up again this week or next in Michigan.

numbers are still misleading

This sums up COVID right here. It's a respiratory disease with a low fatality rate and it impacts people in bad health primarily.

In case you haven't heard, there's a vaccine for the flu.  I get it every year.

And despite the vaccine it still kills a half a million people each year.

So, how many is too many?

Pandemics are tough.  Sorry that those Taylor Swift concerts are cancelled.  

We could shut down the economy every flu season then.... influenza is often global. People die too.

How many deaths does it take for you to side with shutting everything down?

Anyone worried about fall/winter? What is everyone expecting? Cases/Deaths per day? Do we all get locked down again? My wifes entire law firm is closing due to Covid. 200+ employees and offices in 5 states. I'm so done with covid lockdowns and the destruction its causing. It's easy for people with stable jobs to say lock everything down. But the PPP has dried up and the $600 is gone. Open up everything.

My area has seen a 134% increase in people dying at home since March. People are scared to go to the hospital. Suicides are also up.

29 deaths in a county of 190,000. Far more of these deaths than COVID.

Business taking quite a downturn now.... and we sell food.

Beautiful little unexpected rain shower this evening. I poured myself a scotch to really soak it in. 

I always love it when the sun shines under the cloud deck at sunset.

Looking good.

About 3 inches of rain over the last few days. Hopefully the sprinkler season has ended,  but I doubt it.
