I already looked at this and unfortunately there were not any good times currently for me to buy tickets.
if you look at it, this is like frontier airlines giving you a first class seat for $39 more. take a look at first class seats sometimes; they are a lot more than $39 over a regular fare.TGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

from the governor of new York:
"NY Gov. Cuomo says it's 'shocking' most new coronavirus hospitalizations are people staying home"
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ny...D=ansmsnnews11
"The early look at data from 100 New York hospitals, or around 1,000 people, shows that 66% of new admissions related to the coronavirus are people who were at home, Cuomo said. The next highest source of admissions in the state were from nursing homes at 18%.
"This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home," Cuomo said. "We thought maybe they were taking public transportation, and we've taken special precautions on public transportation, but actually no, because these people were literally at home.""
"Cuomo said that nearly 84% of the hospitalized cases were people who were at home and not frequently taking transportation. Approximately 73% of those hospitalized were over the age of 51, according to data from Cuomo. "
>>well, well, well.
study shows that sitting in your house avoids nothing, which should have been apparent long ago as the virus has been detected everywhere, even in no wheres-ville montana; unless you live in a vaccum; you will come in contact with it. luckily it's only infecting still a 1/2 percent of the population, the hospitalization rate is even lower than that and the death rate is at 1000's of a percent.
you all say i'm a trumper, no trump is pathetic; I would have opened up the country on april 1st as by that time enough of the world had shown the infection rate was very low with much worse medical systems than the usa.
a coming recession and maybe depression over something we all will and most likely have encountered already that is infecting a 1/2 percent of us, most with no symptooms according to the new York governor, good move usa and trumpTGR forums cannot handle SkiCougar !

I don't know how much good a cheap paper mask does for keeping viruses out but it is fantastic for cutting down a tree during allergy season. Which I knew that 60 years ago. I won't make fun of those people ever again.

The reason for this has already been discussed numerous times: it's multigenerational households.
Many have assumed density, as in lots of people on the street, is fueling NYC's outbreak. But the data, starting with China then Iran and Italy and so on, shows most transmission occurs within the household. For all the talk about NYC being unique, maybe because of its subway, there's a good chance that it comes down to bad luck. A few super-spreaders, waiting a few days too long to enact control measures, or even the very real possibility of Italian-Americans fleeing Italy and inadvertently spreading the disease in the absence of tests and quarantines.
Looking at the data, the infection spread quickly in neighborhoods with high percentages of multigenerational households. Poverty and bad diet may lead to worse outcomes but the higher transmission rates in poor neighborhoods is not necessarily because of behavior per se but instead because oftentimes there are several generations living under one roof. It also explains why nursing homes, meatpacking plants and prisons are vulnerable.

How localized is your density?
If there's 4 units within 6 inches of one another and none within another mile radius, is that high density or not?Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

In a scenario with no one living within a mile the issue isn't proximity, it's someone coming into contact with an infected person and then spreading it at home. In rural areas it's going to church or a social function or some other prolonged contact and then bringing it home.
Social distancing is a good rule of thumb but strategic reduction of contact is what really matters.

I'm bored, so I ran some numbers, comparing case rates (per population) from 3/30, versus 5/5 (yesterday), and looking at the case rate multiples. Nationwide, the average change in case rate during that period is 9x. (Obviously, accuracy varies a lot due to variations in how half-assed testing has been.) Data source NYT.
Biggest changes (double or more the national multiple):
Nebraska 54x (went from #51 case rate ranking up to #13)
Rhode Island 34x
South Dakota 30x
Iowa 30x
Delaware 23x
Maryland 22x
Virginia 20x
Kansas 18x
Least changes:
Montana 3x (also, currently ranked #51, best, in case rate)
Alaska 3x
Washington 4x
Vermont 4x
Hawaii 4x
Maine 5x
Oregon 5x
New York 6x (still #1 case rate though)
(the next five on the list are all inland western states, NV, ID, UT, WY, and CO)
California's near the national average, at 10x.
Overall:
- The west, other than New Mexico, has been doing relatively well.
- Northeast was bad and is still bad, some northeast states having gotten quite a bit worse, and Maine and Vermont managing to stay out of the fray.
- Things aren't looking good at all in some of those mid-country states.
- Deep south is mostly sticking to the national average in terms of spread.
- Who knows what's really happening in Florida.

As I observe neighbors and friends I see that people are much more comfortable getting up close and personal with family and friends than with strangers, even though people you know are no less likely to be infected than a stranger, on average. It is true that you know something about people you know--whether they've been going to church or bars or work in a hospital with a lot of covid patients, but people still feel more comfortable with non-strangers even when they have high risk exposure. My wife is much more comfortable letting people into the house, even though she stays home herself.
