I think there's just less people testing in general. They just assume they have it and don't get tested unless they have to. This very well could be. I told you that my brother in law tested negative and was told not to retest just assume he has it because he had symptoms

I missed this post yesterday but saw the news article. What in the world?! It doesn't make any sense that this keeps happening. And WHY are they allowed have their body cams off?!

Schools will be the next group for the vaccine if they want to stay in person or want to go back to in person by March 1 (obv only adults). Probably mid January. This means my DH will be able to get vaccinated hopefully.

I just can’t. When H was in his accident 2 weeks ago the cop asked the man to take a field sobriety test when he said no he told him to put his hands behind his back. The guy didn’t but had his hands up. The cop was so quick to pull out his taser. My Fil was there and said sir please do it before he shoots you. The cop later said to me I wouldn’t do that and went on to say the guy was big. He wasn’t besides tall. While I was happy it was the taser he reached for I wonder if we weren’t there.

angelashly I agree. How many vaccine doses are we actually going to get and will it be enough to cover all these groups? He can say school employees will be eligible Jan 15, but will there be doses available? It seems like a logistical nightmare for a million different reasons.

If national news is saying March for the next tier of people I don’t get it. Not with 2 doses per person I hope I’m wrong though

Our pediatrician posted a pic on fb yesterday that she was getting her covid vaccine. I'm starting to feel a little better that the vaccine is rolling out. But I know we're likely at the bottom of the chain for getting one. My kids aren't in school. My mom doesn't work. H is a low contact position. My dad just works in a plastics plant office. MIL and FIL might because of their age and MIL works for a hospital but from home. But I don't know that they will be willing to get the vaccine. MIL seems to flip flop on her thoughts and FIL will only get it if she does but I don't even know that he will get it then. He raised a stink when I said no pertussis vaccine no seeing baby when R was born.

Was the other guy a POC too? Besides. Isnt hands up (or on your head) protocol and then they bring your hands down and around as they cuff you?

She’s a speech therapist specializing in swallowing studies so she’s in people’s mouths all the time.

Cop was white and was a jerk of epic proportions even to me so I was ready

Everyone else expecting this crazy snow today/tonight?? We went from 1-2 to 2-4 to 3-5 and now its looking like we will likely be more in the 7" range according to weather Channel. Still waiting for the "weather nerds" to update this morning.

Both of XSO's parents are positive too, and one of the guys that helped them load the moving truck. Way to go on wearing masks, everyone.

Still waiting for the "weather nerds" to update this morning. Last I saw we are under a winter strom warning and 8-14 inches, with higher amounts locally. That was similar to the estimate for the last storm and we ended up with 18-22 in our immediate area. That was from midday yesterday I think?

I follow the Mid Ohio Valley Weather Update page on fb (they're under the bellpark media umbrella) because they seem the most accurate. Last call they made was noon ish yesterday cod 3-6 but they said there would be a last call today and they are predicting it will change. I'm eagerly waiting to see what it says.

We are expecting 8-14 inches here. No snow yet- it’s still just raining here.

But all this rain followed by freezing and then a shit ton of snow has us concerned about power outages. 😬 H is getting chainsaws and the generators ready. Just in case.

We've been upgraded to 4-8+!! I won't lie. I'm half hoping for the 8+ but that much dropped in 12 hours would wreak havoc. But maybe it would keep people home. Not such a bad thing this year!

Exactly we have nowhere to go tomorrow or Saturday really so I would love the snow for Christmas Listen y'all are more than welcome to grab as much snow as you want from my house 🤣 we got lucky with the last storm not to lose power (and it was the day of my surgery so I wasn't there anyways) but I'm a little worried about this one. Maybe the last one got all the bad branches down thought? I might send my H to get firewood while I wrap today. At least if we can open curtains for light and use the fireplace for some heat we can get through presents in the morning if needed.

So reading the details of the forecast my area is the most likely to see 6-10+. I don't remember the last time I saw even 6 inches of snow here!

I’m in the NE just a smidge below the official snow belt and we’re supposed to get 6”. Nothing yet.
ETA they changed it to 9” and it’s snowing now!

It’s snowing now. DS is thrilled! We will have a white Christmas after all! He’s making hot cocoa to celebrate.
I’m worried we will lose power with all of the heavy snow predicted.
