Kind of like we got banished to a back room at JJ Foleys after we catcalled Barry for forecasting 1-3 with a changeover. This was circa 2009 and present were Max (capecod04), scooter, Will, Ray, Kevin, Zeus, Wiz, maybe Don?, Jack.
Just get to retirement! For me it was a slog and I waited until I was 2 months short of my 74th birthday to pull the trigger. Work I do now doesn’t require my physical presence. I agree about the snow-it’s great leading up to and during but then you’re left with cleanup amd limited mobility....
I fell twice on the ice this winter...time to think warm. We were in FL 2/25-3/10 and going back hopefully in late June to get a sense of living there....can always come back for a month in winter and stay in a nice air bnb.
I think once most of the country opens up I don’t see why the bold would be true. The hardest hit folks will be back working full time right? There’s a huge cohort of people who felt no pain but those in service industries especially front line people in places like restaurants have experienced a big chunk of the misery.
Data is important. If your household amd cohort of friends and family are free from bad covid that’s great. However, I will never forget the incredible strain on the hospital systems I was able to access last spring. The vaccine will probably put this pandemic to bed.
So I don’t know how VT decisions were made. However, it is possible that some of the groups have higher risk and prevalence increasing the likelihood of spread. We stratify by race in health care all the time based on known risk.
This has been mentioned but if you’ve had covid and get vaccinated it appears per research that your immunity is off the scale great. Trump had Covid in October and vaccinated in January or February. Just saying..
Getting back to the israel isn’t like us argument....we have many similarities.
1. A sizable swath of anti mask anti vax people
2. Broad skepticism of the government
3. Youthful disdain for any mitigation
4. A lot of racial diversity and economic imbalance
