    NZ and Oz - 2020.

    Leadership is now a pejorative to some, wow. On a macro scale, leadership is needed to win a war. On a micro scale, folks like us get to choose our doctor, so I humbly recommend picking one who knows more about health and medicine than you do, EMSC. Then listen to them, okay?

    NZ and Oz - 2020.

    Leadership matters. Unity is strength. We all benefit, when each of us cares about (not infecting) our neighbor.

    Woot! Speaking of taste, if that other forum maps chargers and stuff do they have a special symbol for the slow ones where nonetheless it is strongly advised to NOT dine nearby? Seems folks have generally been lucky...

    NZ and Oz - 2020.

    Which of those countries' leader did debates and fundraisers so they could infect those around them. Cuz unless you have trouble counting backwards, if Trump isn't contagious now or for his next brain-dead rally then according to his own CDC he was contagious early last week. While you were...

    Powder Magazine Bites the Dust

    For SoCal and other folks where one always had to beware of the "R" word...the absolute classic was, "Helloooo skiers, this is Jim from Mountain High. It's a Winter Wonderland up here today!!!" = if Jim didn't explicitly say it's snowing, then dress accordingly and ya better bring spare gloves...

    Is EasternSierraForum.com archived?

    No archive or workaround AFAIK. OTOH I have a photographic memory -- we can always get a thread or two going, or Q&A threads if something's worth recalling. If we can get some other alums to show up, I'll write a couple stories that had nothing to do with me but were actually magical in...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    Exactly. That's why you wouldn't wanna pick one that woulda been long-since closed anyway by April 11 like Snowshoe. And if there's a Vermont drought a place like Stratton mighta been closed anyway much more likely than Sugarbush, so even if ya tended to go to Stratton you'd be smarter to have...

    Mountain Collective/Ikon/Epic 20/21.

    I picked S***w Valley Alpine Meadows re Adventure Assurance. How bout all y'all? One of the things I looked at was historical closing dates. This site tho not totally accurate seemed to consolidate the data well enough to help with the guess... https://www.snowpak.com/opening-and-closing-dates...

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    Folks, it's just common sense... If you isolate too soon you can always re-assess. If you isolate too late you can't undo the decision. There's examples of both in other parts of the world, already.

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    I hope you're right re 0.6% and there's lotsa good points in that article from Stanford. I've always liked cooking so I sure ain't gonna go out for restaurant food. Restaurant workers are some of the poorest and least benefit-compensated (like paid sick time).

    The big Corona Virus Shutdown

    That's the complete opposite of what I wrote. No, I'm advocating that the Case Fatality Rate is a simple equation. You want it to be different for Covid, than any other disease, or mishap, or whatever can have a CFR. Mrs. Trudeau Kevin Durant the other 2 NBA ballers Tom Hanks Miami Mayor...
