We keep stealing Wiz's nados

Yep I agree. I usually start looking ahead in early December to see if there's any hopes for mid/late December for my own sanity. Obviously if I see chatter of a favorable pattern I'll check in and invest a bit. But I also live down here, where peak climo favors mid to late Feb.

You guys do this every year - Do yourselves a favor and stop worrying about the models til early December. It will save you a lot of frustration. (not directed toward the mets, but the winter weenies)

Ditch the surgical masks and go with some KN95's on ebay (I like the Powecom ones). Can get them for abou $1.50 or $2.00 a pop at most...and you can re-use. Surgical or cloth masks might work somewhat on droplets, but near useless for airbone covid. I've always thought this though, and not just saying it because of the Danish study.

I had inguinal hernia surgery 3 years ago. They said I would feel a lot better in 6 weeks - more like 6 months til I felt 100%

Maybe this was already brought up, but apparently the Pfizer vaccine needs to be chilled at -70 degrees and goes bad after 5 days out of those temperatures. Seems like that could pose a lot of distribution issues in worse off countries that don't have the required storage. I don't know if that temp is any different than what other vaccines require either, so it might not be that big a deal.

Nbd. I just like ribbing the Disney peeps

I'm more convinced than ever that the Disney cult is real. Almost all of the Disney people I know have already been back since the pandemic started..lol. my God

Vermont is spiking a bit, case wise. But so isn't almost every state

There was plenty of lying and gaslighting from both the media and the President. Both can be true. Biden will lie - but he will do so in a presidential manner and in an ideologically aligned manner that's acceptable to many activists disguised as journalists in the MSM. I just avoid all network/cable news stations for the most part.

Same. I can understand population mgmt in certain animal species but this seems medieval and excessive.

What's with Baker mandating that we wear masks outside regardless of proximity to others. What a balloon head

Biden will probably win, by a hair. Senate will stay R and the dems lost seats in the House. So 4 years of an ineffective Biden/Harris ahead.

Unfortunately, just having Thanksgiving at my house with my wife and kid. But plan on dropping by with quick visits to see our parents, possibly for dessert..but not for long. It sucks, and hopefully this is the last year we have to do anything like this again.

Stein got wrecked here..its been a while

Feb 16 and March 5th 2015, respectively

Feb 11th 2015 - Canton, outside my work

Kevin had hair, wowzers.

Radar estimates were .25 or less

Stein holding strong here - weak sauce overall, aside from the wind which outperformed the rain by a mile.

Yes, that number was garbage and retracted.

Assuming that a large majority of the population doesn't already have built-in / tcell immunity via cross-protection from other coronaviruses (potentially between 25-50%) + % of Population already infected - then yes those numbers would be concerning. I just highly doubt it given the trends around the world. I'm specifically referring to the fatality rate though - cross-reactive T cell memory can reduce disease severity, such that fewer people would become severely ill or die from COVID-19. So, hoping for that + vaccine will really cut down numbers over the next year so that we can get back closer to normal.

Myocarditis is definitely a concern..and also something that can be caused from other viruses like the flu. It would be nice if all information was presented. What we don't know yet is if COVID causes a higher rate of myocarditis..it could.

Cheer up COVID-19 SURVIVAL RATES (per CDC): Ages 0-19: 99.997% Ages 20-49: 99.98% Ages 50-69: 99.5% Ages 70+: 94.6%

Tug without the finish that leaves the weenies blue
