We go for a ride every weekend and yesterday there was probably triple the road traffic I usually see. Although I was in Litchfield County instead of Eastern CT for the first time in a month.
Yeah I really hope they come to their senses in MA regarding golf courses. There is no reason whatsoever I shouldn’t be able to walk my course and play with same precautions as surrounding states. Fracking ridiculous. The chart below is MA government stats on the virus. If you are over 60 be careful. Under 60 there’s a .001% mortality rate at this point. I think that will go down even more as warmer weather arrives.
We've been presented an inaccurate picture of who is dying. As more and more numbers show how miniscule the death rate is for young people, more and more tv doctors and journalists tell stories of how deadly the virus is for young people.
This virus has an incredibly low mortality rate, for both young and old. It is very very contagious but not very deadly in terms of mortality rate (there are a lot of people dying but not when compared to the number that are likely infected). There are studies coming out of homeless shelters and prisons with thousands of individuals tested, no symptoms at all, and a positive test result. There are going people dying but it is still an incredibly rare event.
Overall it's probably in the range of 2 to 7 times more deadly than the flu and like the flu old people take the brunt of it because of poorer health and compromised immune systems. Interestingly it actually seems to be less deadly than the flu for little kids. One thing they don't seem to talk about is how peoples immune systems will be more compromised once they are let back into society. All this staying indoors, limited movement/exercise, and fear/lack of sleep leads to weakened immune systems.
This is so ridiculousBad news for @mauconnfan.
Golf in Massachusetts will not be played until at least May 18
Golf will not be played in Massachusetts in the wake of Governor Charlie Baker’s statement Tuesday that non-essential business closures will be extended to May 18. Massachusetts Golf and the Alliance of Massachusetts Golf Organizations reiterated they will continue to “work together” with the...www.boston.com
Connecticut's political leadership did and is doing what you want(ed) Michigan and Massachusetts (at least with respect to golf) to do in that restrictions are measured and logical. Convenience stores were never not essential. I've been saying for the past 6 weeks that the list of essential services are so broad here that most people could make a case that they were also essential.
My point is the number of people at a gas station convenience store picking up something other than gas is not a sign of the wheels coming off.
I thought last weekend was, but you are not wrong. Supposed to be gorgeous both days and approach mid 70's on Sunday.
Liquor stores are open to ease the strain on healthcare facilities. Alcohol withdrawal sometimes requires medical attention. It just happens to benefit the social drinker as well.
I read an article that said in CT liquor stores, individual trips are down, but money spent per transaction is way up. More people aren't drinking...it's the same people hoarding toilet paper and vodka. I'm one of them. I'd call it essential! Heck, I drove to VT yesterday to load up on some Lawson's. Beer is essential!
