Jury trials in this state are on “pause” through January.
Thanks, Philip. I had seen that. I know when courts reopened the number of positives in the jails/prisons went way up…from pretty much zero.
Joshua,
Absolutely frightening data you posted yesterday!!
Probably more appropriate here than on the weather pages, but
Has anyone caught the new movie, Don’t Look Up ??
Very very well done with a host of big stars. I won’t do a spoiler alert. IMHO, it is a MUST SEE movie.
Someone mentioned to me recently. Was it on here? I plan to watch this week. Thank you.
I saw it…very good movie!
Thank you also.
Massachusetts is in the 1-10 day unsustainable group. And yet we don’t do a damned thing to try and slow the spread. The comments are chilling. I understand all except “no breaker”. What does that mean?
And Jeffrey C. Riley’s head is up his ass. I don’t know his politics, but he sure acts like a trump supporter, at least in this regard.
This whole school situation is out of hand!
My daughter is scared to death and she cannot quit because her husband has his own business with no health insurance
and his business has taken a huge hit due to the pandemic, so they need my daughters income.
She was supposed to pick up test kits and N95 at her school between 9 and 11 this morning. She isn’t about to do that on a non-school day. She has test kits and N95s masks already.
I am thoroughly disgusted and fed up with this state’s approach to the pandemic. It is like we are living in Florida under DeSantis’s leadership! PATHETIC!!!!!!!(*#*!*@#_*!@(_#*_!@#*(_!@(#_!(@#_(!@#(!)@(#)(!@#(!@(#!(@#(!@(#!(@#)(!@#(!
I’m so very sorry for your daughter and every single teacher and staff member in our schools. And for the children they have worked tirelessly to not only teach the best they can, but especially in the past two years, they have worked to protect.

“ This is my side project for today. I am also wondering about the legal ramifications of a school board being forced to have no remote option with unsafe conditions for children. No mitigation/testing/air cleaning, in some cases not masked.”
Wow!
I have to find a comedy to watch….because I think the world has gone nuts. CDC is now mulling over the idea…..the one every darned one of us knew should have been there from the start.
Excellent article Joshua. It’s great that you make a point of not dismissing the repurposing drugs out of hand.
I’m waiting for people to suggest the use of leeches for blood-letting!
That should be “repurposing OF drugs”
I now know why I can no longer proofread my own comments. I read your comment as you intended and didn’t notice the “of” missing. Good thing I finally gave up looking for a client and decided to stop working.
Good article, Joshua. We always had a few boxes of ivermectin for each horse. It’s like thick paste, and I cannot imagine trying to swallow it….at least in that form. Good news, is you can get apple flavor. Even then horses were never thrilled with it.
I found this at what has been our go to equestrian shop for decades.
Vicki our governor has not put in any mandates. All schools in CT will be open tomorrow.
Oh boy. But you may be doing better than MA in schools. I do recall your saying your Governor has said he’d act if CT reached a certain level. Doesn’t seem that he did.
I know RI has a mask mandate. I’m not sure about other NE states
What our governor looks at is the amount of people in the hospital. As of Thursday it was 1,151.
Thank you. Am I incorrect that he said if it were to go over 1,000, he’d put some things in place? Although, it isn’t far over.
Wareham Public Schools closed tomorrow due to sick staff.
Week before Christmas they reported zero cases for students and staff. But then we know most do not report accurate numbers and the count is higher than DESE says. The week ending December 16 wareham had 33 students and 6 staff.
They hope to open on Tuesday. Does that give anyone other than me chills?
C-19 for 1-3 is ready.

Your no-hype southeastern New England weather blog!

JJ….did your gov put any mandates in place?
Baker is a complete IDIOT!!
