COVID concerns in the Northeast

[MG Skier]

I built a perch to boot up on so when I sit on my tailgate of the F-150 I can put my boots on. Doubles as a lunch table!

We've removed the middle seats in our 2018 Sienna, so we can sit in the 3rd row bench seat and boot up inside out of the cold.

We used to have minivans and have thought they would be perfect for this year just as you said with middle seats removed.

`This is the set-up I used during a recent three week visit to SLC/Snowbird: park at a choice of several favored ski-on/ski-off locations (this one is bypass road near Peruvian lift), always boot-up at car using folding green camp chair shown at right, return to car for lunch using green cooler bag in center and blue folding chair to left.

Say what you will about LCC traffic, but as long as you're not there during a big powder frenzy it all works quite smoothly.

Just got my vaccination. I also got the J&J vax. Will be 77% in two weeks, and 85% after four weeks. J&J also included data on one variant which may explain the lower efficacy, as the other two never tested against the variants. So two weeks and I have my "Freedom" from people who think we need to hunker down and quarantine and all that.

Congrats!

If anyone actually gave a shit, Massachusetts will no longer "require" travel form and quarantine starting Monday.

I guess it feels nice to "legally" go to Maine this weekend after "illegally" going out of state like 40 times in the past 6 months.

i just bought tickets to see the disco biscuits in new haven in June in a tennis stadium. the seating chart where you pick your tickets shows how they are distancing. basically tix are in pods of 2 or 4 and are super far from any other pods. so my girlfriend and i have our own row with no one in the rows in front of and behind us. i saw the biscuits at a drive in concert back in October, which was definitely strange. i don't know if drive in will be stranger than super large venue at ~20% capacity. but i'm stoked that concerts are starting to be a thing again. drive in show was kinda wild. shitshow of booze and substances when everyone there can just drive onto the concert field. minimal security peak into the car and opening of coolers. easily evaded.

Great news! So if I understand correctly, starting Monday, people living in Mass are free to travel to New Hampshire, Maine, and New York (but not Vermont, unless you have been vaccinated). Is that right ? I’m closing in on 50 days at Berkshire East so a change of scenery would be nice.

Took a few runs(12) this morning at the BEast before the rain moved in. 33 and raining not much fun. The glades look like they could be fun there.

It's about damn time!

We have kids in school in MA M/Tu so have had to come back from Maine by 5pm Saturdays to get tested in time for school, effectively limiting us to trips over longer breaks. Each day we had to file a formal attestation that we hadn't been out of state or proof of negative test results, they weren't messing around. Too bad the season's almost over, but at least spring skiing will be free of that particular hassle.

Also happy about this for the kids.
Its one thing for adults to tell a little white lie (just sometimes...) but thinking the kids would have to is different! As soon as Maine opened up for MA visitors I booked the long Easter weekend as our kids do alternate weeks at school and were scheduled to be off the following week which allowed us time for quarantine or testing. Then schools announced that elementary go back full time right after Easter. So was faced with cancelling or keeping them out til tested or fibbing. Today was the last day I could cancel the accommodation and just lose the booking fee. Within 14 days no refund.
So that’s great timing for us!

28 hours after vaccine shot and card I feeling fine I know few people on Facebook having bad side effects I think my constant drinking water helps big time

We vaccinated over 2,400 (all w/ Pfizer) and learned pretty quickly to tell folks to Hydrate really well and take Ibuprofen day of & day after 2nd dose.

Just about the worst Post Vacc reaction I've seen so far was my own wife. In bed for 3 days, Fever, Chills, totally wiped out....

 

[flakeydog]

Dose 2 had an effect on me. I have not been sick in years, never react to meds, etc. luckily it was short lived. Tired the night post vax and felt like crap the morning after but was able to rally and ski that afternoon even though I still felt a bit out of sorts. Totally fine the next day. I’m just happy I am vaccinated (and many others too). Well worth it in my opinion.

Got my first dose of moderna yesterday. i couldn't stay awake by 930 last night. feel a little off today but so far no big deal.

Dose 2 of Moderna wrecked me. Had a fever and body aches for a solid 20 hours.

Pretty much the same for me too but I was able to function and WFH. Symptoms started 18-20 hours after the shot and lasted a day. Some advil helped with the aches.
