Yep. Again and again - "We're seeing a lot of new cases, but hospitalizations aren't rising. Maybe the virus has mutated to a less virulent form?"
2 weeks later: "Hospitalizations are really high, but deaths haven't risen. Perhaps the virus isn't as fatal as it was?"
2 weeks later still: "Deaths are rising rapidly. So, no. The virus is still just as bad."

I just drove through my first School Zone today. Good luck kids!

I don't know how people catch bats, but somehow they do, and I want whatever they've got in their immune systems.

This largely misses the point of comparing NC/TN, which have a similarly-timed infection curves.

Which anyone who's had kids, or BEEN A kid would have predicted, if they'd given it a moment's thought. We give them cool masks, so they'll wear them, and then they trade them for cooler masks.

I just read that a school in, I think, Georgia had to shut down again after a Mom discovered, to her horror, that her kid was wearing a DIFFERENT MASK than the one she'd sent them to school with. Kids apparently were trading masks - "Oooo! I love your Spiderman mask! I'll trade you this Batman mask for it!"
Which anyone who's had kids, or BEEN A kid would have predicted, if they'd given it a moment's thought. We give them cool masks, so they'll wear them, and then they trade them for cooler masks.

Didja know that your insurance won't pay for the rabies vaccine without your having been exposed? It's 'elective'. And it costs $1000 for the series.
BUT, she got to hold a bat!

I just called my LBS and he has sold the mtb and the wheels I left with him and he wants me to bring in my touring bike, says he has a potential buyer for it, too.
I cleaned it up a bit and it looks pretty good. Having second thoughts about getting rid of it. Sure, I can put a rack on the Gunnar if I ever want to tour again, but that Cannondale touring bike is so cool. I don't even know how much to ask for it.

The friend that I rode with over the weekend works with a small group of hospitals as kind of an... emergency planner of sorts. I asked him about the hospitals that he oversees and how they were doing w/r/t covid. He said that they were in the midst of a second infection wave and hospitalizations were back up but, unlike the first wave, it was largely younger, more healthy people this time around and that intensive care beds and respirator use was down relative to their first rodeo. Maybe NC and TN are seeing different populations getting hit?

I don't know if it has a model number, I bought it as a frameset when a bike shop went belly-up. I put my scrounged parts on it. It's a 1988, I think, and it has a steel fork, with an aluminum frame, of course. It has canti-lever brakes and eyelets for front and rear racks and I put a triple on it. Oh, and 7 speed hub in back but I have put a 9 speed wheel on it, it's bar end friction shifters.
I'll have to get a picture of it before it goes.
It's red.
