Best guess, bars and restaurants are closed to inside dining/drinking. Next Tuesday if numbers remain high, schools close until Dec 1.Quote:

Ouch. A lot of hate here. The virus sucks for everyone. Some understanding instead of anger at these times. WTF happened to our country. No one had any sympathy or empathy any more. It’s either us or them. Nothing is that black and white.
Come on man! That’s a bunch of malarkey!

Municipal offices will be closed again come Monday, so expect the VT gov’s noon announcement to involve broad lockdowns and expect a regional effort to be implemented.
Costco is out of shit paper again too.
Just give me a follow up season of Tiger King and it'll be just like April.Quote:

We had free testing in the community before but now we'll have free testing right at the high school. Testing for teachers appears to be a new state initiative.Quote:

I didn’t realize how inconsistent general public testing is. Burlington pop up testing reserved in hours for, two days worth of testing.Quote:

During Q&A he was asked about applicability to ski areas. The answer he gave was a little cagey. He said that the quarantine rules would effectively keep numbers lower on its own but also that we’ll see where we are in a month. Not sure if more is coming or if he was punting.Quote:

Reminder - If you plan to come to Vermont to ski over Thanksgiving weekend, your at home quarantine starts today. No going to the grocery, no interacting with anyone else, etc.

People are so stupid and selfish, I am sure that lots of tourists will be on line at the canneries because 'Heady toppah is a grocery run'.
Speaking of cans, my brother went to hike on the ny side near Bash Bish today and stopped at a shop with lots of local brews he'd been to before and it picked clean. Something about an aluminum shortage? That maple rum is sounding more and more necessary...

Based on what's happening in VT right now, your advice should be for ANYONE who wants to ski in VT over Thanksgiving.Quote:

Yeah, it sucks, ski season will be rough, places will close, passes next year will be more expensive, second home owners will lose money and not enjoy places they love. However, it’s a pandemic and everyone is or should be making sacrifices. If you can’t or disregard these measures you are an asshole and you deserve to be publicly shamed for not having the intelligence to understand the gravity of the situation.

For the record, I am also telling everyone to heed all rules and not be stupid assholes. I just have low expectations based on recent evidence of people being incapable of doing the right thing. There will be beer and powder in everyone's future after we get through this.

And I am starting to have very low expectations from a crawling snake like you who won't give me a man up response as to why you fucked with one of my posts. Who the fuck are you and who the fuck do you think you are?Quote:

I only wish I lived close enough to hike to terrain but I don't. I also wished people would listen and obey the restrictions in place but they won't. This is part and parcel why we are even having resurgence like we are. We have had a dramatic increase of sick patients over the last three weeks at work.Quote:

Bottom line wear your mask, stop hanging out and stay home when you (the collective you) don't need to be out.

People go to bars then private parties days later, spreading their virus breathe everywhere. Or vice-versaQuote:

I think it is indoor team sports for club and rec leagues.
But, given that we can’t even walk with a neighbor, I am not so sure how skiing will work.

I played hockey all growing up and throughout college; out of any sport if one kid has it a significant number of other kids will have it. You are mouth breathing profusely in close proximity to everyone within a close rink with no airflow.Quote:

I haven't been outside my county since February, haven't been to a bar or restaurant since March. I just broke my no takeout food rule last month for a single meal, and am right back to avoiding food I don't prepare myself. I did chance seeing my parents once, their town has 300 people in it, (next closest town is 25 miles and only has 1500 people), they drove out when the overall load was low, no stops along the way and didn't leave my house. I'm glad I saw them because this isnt going away anytime soon. I wish I could see my grandmother turn 91 this next weekend, but that's not going to happen. This is probably her last birthday.
I'm going back to only going to work (we aren't allowed wfh) and the grocery store every 2 weeks at odd hours. I went last night and the damn bowling alley had a packed lot for league night.
What I see on a daily basis just baffles me. Supposedly educated adults making poor decisions, like this is all still a hoax 11 months later. People just don't get it, they want they're freedoms at the price of death and suffering (financial, mental and physical) for others. Stay the fuck home. If you must got out, wear a fucking mask and stay away from people.
If we can all just get over ourselves for a god damn month this will get a while lot better. 3 weeks, that's all we need. Stay the fuck home. If your are essential, as in medical or life safety, due your diligence but keep it to a minimum.
This makes absolutely no fucking sense, I can go to a restaurant and sit inside with God knows who visiting from anywhere USA but can't walk 10ft apart outside with my neighbors who I know are as cautious/conscious about being spreaders as my wife and I are, pure stupidity there!Quote:
