It's actually an interesting discussion. His arguments seems to be that piecemeal approaches don't do much good, and that if we buckled down for a 4-6 week shutdown, coupled with compensation for lost wages/business, we could open the economy faster and be in a better position come vaccine time...

From Biden COVID Advisor says US Lockdown . . . Note the final sentence.

There is certainly zero public acknowledgment from elected officials at the national level of what is going on right now. Just what won't happen before January 20 and that a vaccine is coming (six months down the road). It's every state for itself and we all will need to buckle in. Of course...

I keeping coming back to things are happening exactly as the experts warned they would happen. It would seem to me that the best way out of this is to start listening to the experts. If they know something about how it's falling a part. They might just know something about how to put it back...

74,000 new cases so far today with 27 states still to report. We were at 40k - 50k a day just a month ago. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Those recent date numbers will grow as more deaths are added. Deaths are not declining.

I"m exhausted by all this, too, so I totally empathize with that part of the equation. Fortunately, we now have a timeline to work toward. If we can come together and hunker down for the next few months, we will begin to see significant improve come April, May, and into summer. We will be...

What I find particularly challenging is that those whose expertise is in these fields warned us this was coming. Our response was a bit of a collective shrug with a bit of an "American Can't Do" attitude. The only way we are going to learn is to go through it. This is what denial looks like. I...

You mean he'll be notified on January 19 2024 that his room is ready?

Absolutely. And we are going to get through this. 2021 will be so much better with vaccines, better treatment protocols, and more therapeutics. We need to to come together for the next few months, for the "darker before the dawn" and do the best we absolutely can to make sure that once we're...

I don't think anybody can predict what will or will not be open in a week a month, or over the winter. The numbers are trending quickly in the wrong direction and will continue to do so in the near term at least. I think most people are intelligent enough to know that different levels of...

I wonder if they'l have to let the White House sit empty for two weeks between occupants . . .

Anecdotal and only one data point, but the quarantines were *the major* reason we sold our two DVC 160 point contracts bought direct. It's become clear to us that we aren't getting to WDW before 2022 and we have no desire to spend money on points we won't use or deal with the hassles and...

Interesting article in The NY Times on how the vaccine roll-out might play out. It's probably behind a paywall, so the gist is that there will be multiple options with varying degrees of effectiveness. Metaphorically, there could be a buffet of vaccines to choose from. Who gets which vaccine...

I think you have to dig deeper about what an outbreak means. There are people contract COVID from elsewhere who go to school, a case or two in the school that could be highly localized, or a widespread outbreak within the school. Here in NJ, while "11" may be correct, the numbs of people are...

I still don't understand the big deal. Our state guidelines have been structured with that assumption in mind. Therefore, nothing changes.

Honestly, with the price of a Disney vacation now, those who go to Epcot can just as easily afford to go see the real thing, and take a side trip to DLP for a castle-park fix to boot. DVC hid the actual costs to me, but when we decided to sell and started to realize what we could do with our...

Is there a diagnosis for Twitter whiplash?

Assuming some sort of pattern to daily fluctuations, I've been comparing to numbers a week ago. 9/13 had more positives, but lower positivity and more testing. 9/20 has slightly lower positives, higher positivity and less testing. That tells me there is more COVID out there on 9/20 than on 9/13...

I have trouble understanding how this is news? Hasn't this been the assumption/knowlege for quite some time? Our diocesan epidemiologists have told churches in our diocese that unmasked readers must be 20 feet away, unmasked singers 30 feet away (unless behind plexiglass), and masked people six...
