You know people are radicalized and over politicized when they attack you for making a simple unbiased statement. Tucker Carlsons a joke, dude is role playing a blue collar worker. But there's more to the world than what Fox News or CNN says. You can’t say one is playing for ratings or has a bias but the other doesn’t, they all just want money and thats what drjeff was highlighting. Fox news will perpetuate its bs and CNN will do the same if it brings them ratings and money. The problem is we incentivize ratings and money over unity, logic, and peoples wellbeing.

Hate all the politics thrown into everything these days.
As a 36 year HealthCare professional Covid is sadly not over...
MA has been having 1,300+ new cases everyday for the last 2 months.
10-20 people die every day.
Folks are burnt out working 60/hours week w/ so many laid off, staff working remotely or just plain quit.
OT $$ is great @ 2X.
But I'd rather go back to a normal schedule and have a week off when I want to.

You have to go back over a month to find any singular day where the entire state of Massachusetts had over 1500 cases in a day, so I'd love to know how Boston could possibly be "having 1200+ new cases per day for the past 2 months."

OOps. TYPO. Sorry about that.
- MA has been having over 1,300 cases/day since 8/18, or the last 10 weeks

My office looks out over our Testing Center (for symptomatic Pt, NO surveillance testing). and the line is still 15-25 people deep all day long. Compared to 3-4 blocks long earlier this year.

If you want somewhat unbiased news...maybe BBC? The rest is opinion.
If you want actual news, read the damn paper. Pick your poison for tilt, but there are a handful across the pontifical spectrum that still do journalism, and written coverage tends to be a lot less of a soundbite fest than TV.

How many of those 1300 were vaccinated?
Last time I checked, Mass has been running appx 25% of cases as breakthroughs and 75% unvaccinated.

So the majority of the cases are happening in the minority (unvaccinated) segment of the population.

They'll "grasp" it the moment the media stop sensationalizing new Covid variants and cases!

Covid is over for the vaccinated. But what would the media do without some new "thing" to keep their audience? They will continue to report on outbreaks in any corner they could find it. (and thanks to the anti-vaxxers, there will be many of those keep cropping up to feed the media's appetite)

over? I wish that were the case. Agree on the media frenzy - if it bleeds , it leads. . but a large number of people have stopped watching or taking it as seriously as they did in 2020. They've all lost credibility, deserved or not. Snow, on the other hand, is in the offing. .

The comments on this article are hilarious. Who are these incompetent elites who manage to control everything except the horse de-wormer supply chain? And why do they want to govern a world culled of everyone but this basket of unruly deplorables who are just too smart to fall for their vaccine scam?

Youngkin is going to take Va, that’s what I got after speaking with a hardcore Va democrat who is quite connected, I had never heard them speak negative about their party until last week, this is a good thing as theirs some real bull shit going on in schools etc that the dems tried to hide to pass their adgenda

And if Youngkin takes Virginia Joe Biden’s massive spending plan is dead. Democrats in purple states will see the handwriting on the wall.

Have lived in Virginia all of my life. Populous Northern VA used to be Repub when I was a kid, then a swing area for years, but now mostly goes Dem. Rest of VA is still mostly Repub. The school situation during the pandemic was a big lose-lose around here. Parents didn't like their kids having to do remote learning. Teachers didn't like going into real school. There are more parents than there are teachers and that could drive a Youngkin victory. We'll see.

No masks on lifts and only recommended in most lodges at SR if vaxed. However, need patrol help on the hill? Better get that mask on or no help offered. Want to get into either the patrol or western Maine mountain clinic? Better have a mask. Need rentals? Yup, need a mask on in there. Also, no bags in lodges again and no booting up in there either.

Also, opening day to a date to be determined, only passholders, Ikon passes and ticket pack holders welcome to ski/ride.

No bags in lodges. Not a fan of that decision.
