Good morning
Good morning! It's going to be 90 again here today. Been that hot all week, so of course I've had to work all week. Probably for the best since pools aren't open or anything, no water parks, etc. yet. It's weird being in NY. People simultaneously know darn well that we're the hardest hit place as far as covid goes in the known universe, and blow it off like it's no big deal by wearing masks with their noses hanging out because "it's easier to breathe [all the covid in]". Real life everywhere you look. Is that still a tag? It should be. anyway,
I'm in Connecticut; apparently we have the lowest R
0 in the country (that's good). NY's is slightly higher, slightly above 1 (a lower R
0 is better, optimally below 1) but given that Manhattan and the immediate suburbs were basically East Coast Ground Zero, that ain't too bad. I didn't vote for my governor - we're a very blue state already, in deep debt, and he seemed to want to keep pushing in that direction; his opponent wasn't perfect, but I knew him from my professional life and thought he could at least bring some financial accountability to the mix - but he's risen to the challenge in a big way (granted, largely following Cuomo's lead) and I'm really impressed with his leadership. We have our outliers, our people that just don't want to play ball, but it is what it is, and thankfully for me/us, I've not had an experience where I couldn't adjust accordingly and minimize the risk. I don't know where you are in NY, but here's hoping our little corner of the world keeps at it.
