Thankfully the hospitals here in NH are opening up more for surgeries. I was at Dartmouth yesterday and the parking lot was 95+% full.
I did see a large RV pull up to the entrance when I was walking in. The driver check himself in I guess when I was leaving the security team was trying to figure out where and how to park it to get it out of the main entrance area.

The shut down is having permanent effects. The medical facility where my family has gone for family visits for 25 years is closing. Thank you, Governor! Private hospitals are bad. They need to go. Black lives matter.

I'm really getting worn out on this. Might have to break down and get grid power to run a bug zapper and AC at the cabin. Hadn't factored getting flushed outta the city in solar calculation.

Talked to a number of bar owners today. Asked what their plans would be if governor fuckstick shuts them down again. All said they'd remain open and wait for the state to shut them down. They have no choice. It's remain open and continue to own the place, or shut down and go bankrupt.

At the end of the day......I think we all need to consider how vulnerable / or invulnerable we feel we are......and then act according to our own senses. To let our whole infrastructure imposed is senseless.
We all need to make choices based on our health and age, etc......not that hard.
"the wife" and I are staying away from those situations that seem risky to us. FORE!

Weekly shopping trip to Walmart this morning. I noticed far fewer mask wearing patrons today. Probably just an anecdotal observation, but this is the first week I've noticed a significant decrease in mask wearers.

The owner of Pike & Pint Bar/Restaurant in Alexandria MN told us his numbers for June and early July are up from last year. They have been busy.

Been seeing more and more of the "healthy 30 something year old professional with no pre-existing health conditions died/is dying of the covid" stories. Is that what will be used to push the statewide mask mandate in MN? It seems to me that the news in MN should be good, hospitalizations down, deaths down, cases up...but many are asymptomatic or mild.
I saw a blurb on the news out of the cities this morning. 64% of parents want schools to open in the fall, and of those 90 something percent wanted it to be "business as usual". If a significant majority want their kids in school as usual, wouldn't it make sense that they are also ready to get back to normal life? Aren't kids the most important thing in a parent's life? If they are willing to "risk" their kids getting sick or bringing the virus home, wouldn't it follow that the parents aren't all that afraid?

Sounds like all the "experts" want to re-open our schools next fall. Not too sure about the teachers.....and I'd bet we will see allot of the older ones taking early retirement......or working in the library.....or administration, etc. I think the kids spreading it to older adults seems to be the biggest risk. Life comes with risks. Folks my age with conditions, need to minimize the risks. We look for low-risk situations to gather in small numbers and outdoors where possible. It's about all you can do....if you want any kind of a social life. Also.....I been washing my throat with cold beer in the evening.....as I'm led to believe that has a good result. FORE!

We have flurry of young people Covid cases in our area, due to canoe/kayak trip and a boat hangout. It appears the kids were passing drinks/shots and that seems to be the key. I think all the kids are doing fine, just tired and some with minor temps.

That seems to be what we're supposed to believe, yes. I have yet to see anything about that being confirmed however. MN has been doing contact tracing for quite awhile now, yet I've seen zero evidence of young people passing it to older people. A guy we know in town had the covid. He's in his 40s, smokes, drinks, and is overweight. He was sicker than a dog for a month. Coughing so hard he fell out of bed numerous times. Meanwhile, his son and wife lived with him the whole time (quarantine, had no choice) and neither got the virus. I think there's an awful lot about this virus we don't know...which makes it easy for us to be manipulated with fear.
