August 24, 20215 yr Was up in Syracuse last week. After driving all that way, obviously I wanted a drink but the hotel's restaurant/bar was closed. What? We were directed up the street to another place. They were super. Split the "best in the State May 2021" burger and when the manager came over to see how we were doing, he explained that many businesses are doing the sharing. He will shut down at 4 pm, while the hotel bar opens back @ 4:30pm. Same with breakfast except they do alternating days during the week. When we went down for breakfast the next morning, it was obvious they didn't have enough help. First we tried to get it brought to our room, but no answer on the phone. Everyone will have a time, or multiple times of living in/with a new normal in their lifetime. Sometimes it feels nothing is normal anymore. Having been there and hating waiting for the other shoe to drop, I for once am glad I am OLD. I will be gone soon. Probably in this next decade. Don't know when or how, so I choose to live everyday like it's my last. I don't want to look at that piece of chocolate cake and wonder, if I eat that will it kill me? NO, if I want it, I'm going to eat it. If I want a glass or 3 of wine I'm going to have it. Still working on the smokes. Down to 3-4 a day. F it. If that's the best I can do, then that's the best I can do. Anyway, the folks not getting vaccines I feel is totally fear driven, and as I have just shared, I most definitely have a health anxiety that I never had for 56 years!!! I am worried about so much more than taking a damn vaccine! I did it, and I'm still here. Hopefully living coivid-19 free for the rest of my days. GET THE SHOT! Still working on my young son (27) but he does seem better adjusted to his new normal and he'll be getting one real soon.

Happy you got the vaccine, but you should try to reduce the cake-eating, drinking, and smoking as that exacerbates the disease if you happen to have a "breakthrough" infection (which are happening by the thousands daily as the FDA-approved experimental vaccines don't offer much in the way of protection after a few months).
August 24, 20215 yr Excellent. Attack the problem at the source. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32077089/proof-vaccination-negative-covid-19-pcr-test-required-enter-tiger-stadium Quote LSU will require anyone attending Tiger Stadium who is 12 years of age or older to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within the last 72 hours, the school announced on Tuesday. LSU, which became the first school in the SEC to outline such a policy, cited a rise in COVID-19 cases and the "highly transmissible" delta variant. The policy will go into effect in time for LSU's home opener against McNeese State on Sept. 11. Those younger than 12 will not have to show proof of a negative PCR test. However, masks will be required for children between 5 and 11 years old and encouraged for those younger than 5. According to the CDC, only 50.3% of adults in the state of Louisiana have been fully vaccinated -- a rate that's among the 10 lowest in the U.S. "As the flagship institution of the state of Louisiana, our foremost responsibility is to ensure the safety of our students, our supporters, and our community," LSU President William F. Tate IV said in a statement. "While we are aware of the diverse perspectives across the nation regarding masks and vaccinations, we must take all reasonable measures to protect our campus and community, not only on gamedays, but long after guests have left Tiger Stadium. The current threat to our lives, our health, and to our medical systems due to COVID-19 is overburdening our hospitals, and we must do our part to stop the spread." Fans who have received only one shot of the two-shot Pfizer or Moderna vaccines will be required to show a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of kickoff. "We have the best fans in college football, and we are doing everything we can to ensure their experience in Tiger Stadium this fall is safe and enjoyable," LSU director of athletics Scott Woodward said in a statement. "When our fans arrive on Saturdays to cheer on the Tigers, they will have confidence that we have taken measures to mitigate their health risks. Our football team has reached 99.1% vaccination, and we are incredibly proud of them for doing their part to protect their team and their community. We are confident our fans will do the same, and I encourage all Tiger fans to receive vaccinations today."

August 24, 20215 yr Well, about those talking points about minorities being the reason for the low vaccination rates...

August 24, 20215 yr Anyone noticing any supply chain issues. Went to the grocery store at noon today and were whole sections low in stock. Not any particular item like toilet paper last year, but spread thru out the store.

Local bar mgr. says one week is one thing and next week is other things. While in NY last week, couple of menu items were changed/deleted due to lack of supply. Not enough dock/factory workers? Truck drivers?

Hundreds of ships literally sitting off shore in CA waiting to offload. There is a price gauging going on with the containers. What used to cost $11,000 for a full container of anything from Taiwan to CA is now $36,000. Couple that with the truck driver shortages and it’s a mess! get your Christmas shopping done now because it’s going to get worse in short time.

Just random things: Like there's a shelf full of bacon but no orange juice. Or something like that. I am hearing we should expect supply chain disruptions through the winter.
August 24, 20215 yr 2 hours ago, Kz! said: 😬😬😬 I'm going to call BS on serial liar Alex Berenson. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/health/coronavirus-health/new-nevada-reports-33-covid-19-deaths-matches-clark-county-at-16-1-test-positivity-rate/ "Hospitals report that 95%+/- of all patients hospitalized are unvaccinated. Hence, robust vaccination campaigns remain the best mitigation strategy,” the organization stated two weeks ago. (this was reported the 17th, so that would have been early August) If 95% of hospitalized are unvaccinated, there's no way 60% of deaths are vaccinated. Methinks, and I'm just spitballing here, that Alex has no idea what he's doing from a data analysis standpoint. A more cynical person might think he's some combination of idiot and biased reasoner. Or this is going to be some data anomaly reported as newsworthy like when 1 out of 7 persons who dies of Covid in some place in Appalachia it's reported as "14% of deaths are among vaccinated" like it means something. So I dug into it, because I have a meeting shortly and no reason to dig into some other task beforehand. Here's the reported deaths for Clark County over that time period: Wed 11th: 15 Thu 12th: 23 Fri 13th: 38 Mon 16th: 26 Tue 17th: 26 Wed 18th: 17 so the total deaths - 145 - are more than twice the number Berenson claims (60). Not to mention the methodology he used does not take into account the time of the deaths, only when they were reported. So we have no idea when the actual deaths reported on the 11th vs the 19th happened. He's just subtracting them and assuming those deaths occurred during that timeframe. So basically this moron scours COVID reports and tries to find outlier numbers that fit his narrative. Sounds about right. 9 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: I don't know of anyone who said that minorities are the reason for low vaccination rates. I did say, that's it's not just one demographic that refuses to get it. There's one or two here.
