So they are pausing to give doctors a chance to figure out how to treat dangerous blood clots? Yet some of you are still confused as to why millions of people are waiting to get the vaccine until more info comes out about side effects, boosters, etc? Really? This is what happens when you sign up for a vaccine that was tested for six weeks and then rushed to market.

Yes, I am aware I can stay at home and shop exclusively from Amazon, requiring some other person to work in a warehouse and drive a truck to my house to drop off the goods. Trust me, we all know that is possible as it was almost all that was allowed for a time...

I do wonder how many here have been out very little since last March. I know there are still some diehards who have barely even left their homes. I know a few.

I was definitely getting some pushback from people who strongly argued March and April were good snow months this season... it's all good.

The cool part is even if they lift mask mandates, you guys can just keep wearing them and no one will care! That's pretty awesome, right? Personal choice is amazing.

I brought a pretty serious curse with me, I'm afraid.

Many things out there don't make sense to me anymore. I think more and more people are looking around at all the weird, inconsistent rules and tweaked-out people scurrying about and coming to the same conclusion. Definitely some surreal moments to be had, like watching a group of depressed-looking people in masks shuffle forward in a queue between x marks on the carpet as a booming voice on the intercom tells them to ensure their masks are on properly at all times or they will be "removed from the premises for their own safety and the safety of others." It's kinda dystopian out there, TBH. I think a subset of the population is actually really enjoying this in a twisted way. They sure seem to get upset at anyone questioning it.

Yet, somehow it was still a decent ski season. Mid Jan to Mid Mar was really nice. No rain and perfect temps. The almost total lack of meaningful snow in March and April followed by the strong warm stretches and back-to-back-to-back rain events late season were the killers.

Dr. Fauci needs to stop talking. He isn't helping at all and is actively driving anti-vaxx sentiment amongst fence-sitters. He is a good person, and he means well, but his messaging is confusing and seemingly contradictory.

CoCoRaHS results are final!

Stat padder for Randolph. Maybe enough to push me into first place in the forum snowfall competition.

Selfish people like the teacher’s unions, you mean? Or those who demanded lockdowns but then kept ordering from Amazon and DoorDash constantly?

The fantasies from people like Bill Gates that we can only reopen once the “entire world” is vaccinated are looking sillier every day. I just hope they let it go versus trying to force it.

Having to “prove it’s safe” to the govt or a business to be around family is definitely more than an “inconvenience.” I think 2020 has shown that the slippery slope is 100 percent real.

Are you not reading your posts out loud? You really should be doing that.

It’s silly to get a vaccine you don’t want or need in the hopes the govt may then allow you to go to a baseball game again.

The idea that the people getting the vaccine are at the forefront of wanting to reopen whereas the “refusers” are actually the scaredy-cats locked up at home is one of the biggest misreads I have seen in a while. LOL

It would help if the “data and facts” were actually related to the subject under debate.

Very, very few of the people refusing to get the vaccine want to stay locked down. I assure you there is zero appetite for masks and lockdowns from that side.

LOL those numbers are also from last spring... total garbage.

There are many articles from 2017, 2018, and 2019 of hospitals getting near or beyond capacity and setting up tents outside. Sorry, I know that busts the narrative. People truly think hospitals are designed to run at 50% capacity normally, I guess. No teaching them otherwise.

AP is leaking.

Hospitals get overloaded every single flu season too. No one ever cared then.

The same people who now say not wearing a mask or getting vaccinated is literally murder. Check with them.

LOL biggest sheep here for sure.
