Salem Puts Health First... Again

Proud of Salem again for understanding that tourism is not worth their community's health. I feel for any area that depends on tourism in these times but Salem has shown once again that they take their responsibility as protector of those who live, work, or play there seriously.

"The Left underestimates how angry the Right was over Covid responses"

I saw a post about how much people on the Right were/are so upset about what happened in response to Covid. On the one hand, yes, I agree. On the other, I don't care. Oh my god I don't care. We accepted the premise and this is the result. "There were lock downs" no, there weren't. "There were mask mandates" there are other clothing mandates that you don't care about.

Middlesex MA Wastewater Tracking (23-Dec-2023 reported data; collected during the week of 18-Dec-2023)

Most recent Middlesex, MA covid tracking shows just over 2,000 copies per mL, suggesting we were seeing roughly 270 cases per 100,000 people per day (friendly reminder that the red flag for us was initially set to 8 cases per 100,000 people per day, then relaxed to 16, and then to 25 as we tried to avoid closing all schools all the time... so we're over 10 times the most relaxed threshold).
