I never heard that, but it's pure genius, and so true. We'd be Venezuela in < 20 years were Harvard in charge.

You can definitely catch cancer from other people. We know this. This isnt 1834.
((((said in Chevy Chase voice)))) This isnt 1834 is it?

What's going on in Canada?
BC is now recommending against travel within the province, not just between provinces. I think Revelstoke is opening soon, but their social media posts are indicating maybe they are not (they have tons of snow).
On top of that, their season pass product currently offers no protection for intra province travel restrictions.

Meaningless? It means the percentage is low. If it was high I and all the others I eat with would have probably gotten it.

only 10% of life long smokers get lung cancer. Do you want to chance that?

Two statements can be simultaneously true:
1) You haven’t gotten COVID (that you know of) from dining out
2) Dining out increases your risk of contracting COVID.

Canada probably feels like they live in the apartment above a meth lab right now.
I'll never forget a WSJ piece at least 15-20 years ago. Insurance Institute of America did a study - average person has 3 high cost medical issues in life. . . . . I forget the bar, but say it was $15K - something close to that. I couldn't figure out why my company-provided healthcare was same whether you smoked or not. Made no sense. Life insurance of course is higher if you smoke.
Bottom line: Average person has 3 of those costly medical issues ( heart attack, cancer, car accident, ski accident, etc.)
Smokers average one. Most don't make it to a second or third - hence cheaper to medically insure over time.
Actuaries.
We're all human and have our vices. It's one thing to come to a conclusion to do/not do something, but it's another to actually refrain from doing it.

Ive seen nurses and doctors..smoking outside of a cancer ward...
Have had quite a few medical personnel as customers over the years - why do nurses ( mostly nurses) smoke so much? Reason they always give: We see it all, and its pretty obvious there are so many things that will kill a person - if it ain't lung cancer its this or that. . . . . and they really enjoy it.
I quit the day my 1 year old came over, lifted the pack of Kools up, placed them down, looked at me puffin' away. . . . my parents didn't smoke.
May 22 - many many years ago. No reason for coffee or sex if you can't blow a fag after. . . . . . was so proud of myself - until a month later I realized I was smoking a bag a weed a week. . .so late June I quit that too. . . . save a lot of money. . . . could never do Middle Earth T to B without stopping if I still did. . . . .
You can get more then one type of cancer from smoking.
Quarantine is expected to change the face of Vermont skiing this season
Many people who purchased season passes are now asking for refunds or credits because the quarantine will stop them from traveling to Vermont to ski.

I like all the softball interviews they had on there. Nobody ripping the financial suicide VT is embracing or that no way the mega areas will blow snow the same all season.Quarantine is expected to change the face of Vermont skiing this season

My condo association sent out a letter after talking with killington stating the season pass refunds were "extraordinary" this week do to the travel restrictions.
From the article the answer is "no" because as far as they're concerned, you have choices in other states.
Exactly
