Addiction LXXVII

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We keep expecting to hear it from MD governor Hogan as well.

We all ride the roads and deal with it and are aware of it. The content sucks because of those 3 factors. I come here to get away from the BS in the real world. I wish the mods would step in and moderate.

I made my case and this has been festering for some time. I hope this is taken constructively and I am not trying to single out whyfi since it has been pervasive. I'll now show myself out for a ride.
What'd I miss?

I hear that our local state park has been especially full of hikers lately. Of course, that may be because it's Spring.

Hey, Heathpack. The FDA just issued an EUA for a point-of-care molecular "spot" test for SARS-CoV-2.

I saw that too. I think testing is wise to track this. OTOH today we are being told to NOT test if it won’t affect management. In other words, if we think someone has it and they are otherwise healthy, tell them to self isolate for 7 days and until no fever for 72 hours. And don’t test. It may change as more testing is available.

We closed Rocky Mountain National Park, because Estes Park was inundated with tourists.
