To wit

Remember a few days ago when I said "deaths to follow"? Remember when I said the Trail wouldn't be the source of this information? At some point, Larimer County will have to remove this pesky dashboard. Because Tom Godhelpus sure isn't talking about how deaths from COVID continue to be reported in Larimer County. Well, in fairness, he is, after you scroll down about thirty pages to see one paragraph blaming it on late reporting from May. Covid-19 is still killing people in Estes Park, whether Estes Park wants to admit it or not. Imagine if some Republican was running around killing people in Estes Park, to the tune of 19 murders in two years. You think the Trail would run and hide behind that explosive story? Tim is probably dealing with repeated bouts of explosive diarrhea. Whatever the excuse is, you can forget about your death from COVID being covered locally. The Stanley says that is bad business, and we wouldn't want to hurt flat Stanley. On a relat

This is what happens when you don't take SARS-CoV-2 seriously

And when your noodle-spined paper of record allows idiots to flood the comments section on FB with non-scientific, idiot fever dreams. Vaccinated yet, Bent Dick Turd Ferguson? 200 cases of COVID-19 per month over the last two months. Deaths to invariably follow, invariably ignored by the Trail. The highest number of cases per month in Estes Park since the outbreak began. Safe and effective vaccines, anyone? Naw, the Trail is too busy endlessly fighting Trump courtesy of Howard Hand Job Hansel and glorifying tractors via our resident (lone) cowboy Vic Tater Anderson.

What a croc

There was no need for this program, there was never a need for this program, and anyone who clapped when "Diego" the K9 slumdog millionaire was introduced at town hall should be ashamed of themselves. Turns out he was only useful (barely) in Greeley and Loveland. Thanks, Estes Park taxpayers, for helping out other jurisdictions. What a snow job, attempting to sell this boondoggle to the public as an absolute necessity, and now admitting how silly it was for a town of 6000 people to waste a million dollars training and feeding a show dog. What did we get out of it? Two years of never even making public appearances, and being yelled at to "Stay away from this highly-trained machine" when you unknowingly wandered within a 100-foot radius? Dog and handler certainly were trained in how to bilk the stupider. bleeding heart PETA parts of our population out of hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. What if those who thought this was a ridiculous, wasteful, unne

Will Howard Hansel please weigh in?

The Trail has now yielded its editorial pages to an outside editor (with no newspaper or editorial experience, imagine). I'm anxious to hear what Herr Howard has in mind to over-overturn the recent Supreme Court decision. The Trail is a national paper, after all. It used to contain just local news, but then Howard took over, and Howard is a man of the world. Worldly, you might say. We are going to be drug into this, whether we want it or not. Howard is in charge now.

Remember when the Trail used to alert us to large outbreaks?

Image
Remember when Cheley Camp blamed all outbreaks on importations? That doesn't happen anymore, in the former case, and in the latter case, that no longer holds water (actually, it never did, but Tim and Mike R. slide on their bellies to please their advertisers, regardless of how many innocents die in the process). Stay far, far away from Cheley Camp. 31 active cases among staff at Camp Wet Spot and Good Feeling?

Is ColoTim of Holy Hill the Covid Bandit?

Last name provided in next post.

Good to see Denver is covering Estes Park news

Image
Even with the Trail's Denver Post connection, Tim is too busy not reporting on Covid to not report on drive-bys that impact area families. Maybe Jason will cover it for the town later today. Eventually, we will rename the Trail the Stanley Town Crier

Technically, it passed spell-check

Maybe Tampa Bay needs to take a few more good dumps before Game #3. And lest you think this was posted on some minor-league sports website, here is a screen grab, headline plus photo. I give them five minutes before this paragraph is updated or an intern gets fired.

The latest COVID non-news from Tom Godhelpus

Image
The biggest news of the week is the county's move on the CDC dashboard, which is extremely forgiving, and much more relaxed thant the previous dashboard parameters, to HIGH RISK. Not only did Tom Godhelpus bury the lede, he said these numbers WOULD move it to HIGH RISK, as if he is somehow standing next to the dial and holding it back from moving like grabbing the second hand on a watch. These numbers DID move Larimer County into HIGH RISK, Tom. They aren't a maybe. You changed the definition of HIGH RISK to make it harder to move into HIGH RISK, then when the county moved into HIGH RISK anyway, you didn't ever say "The County is now in HIGH RISK" because you don't know what to do about it. Just stand around and watch people drop like flies, apparently.

One month ago, Estes Park cleared 2000 cases

Image
One month ago. It is silly/sad the Trail-Gazette has said NOTHING about the largest one-month increase in cases in Estes Park since SARS-CoV-2 was identified. Over 300 positives in one month. But Mike Romero knows on which side his butt is buttered.

I think I predicted this a week ago

Image
While Speedy Gunwales was pretending everything was at medium heat on the CDC scale (which is like 5000 Scoville units in the real world), I went on record last week as saying Larimer County was high risk. Gosh, I wonder who should really be earning the big bucks, and who we should be listening to in Larimer County. Another free perk to the readers of this blog. You will never see things like "high risK" mentioned by the Trail-Gazette. They have moved on, and anyone who dies now, that is all your fault for trusting your paper of record for anything other than an emergency wipe.

Thank god for alternative sources of news

Huge recent COVID-19 outbreak among staff at Good Sam's. You won't find this in the Trail. Courtesy Westword.

So to recap

Image
Her green Converse tennis shoes were the only way to identify the remains of Maite Rodriguez But I would certainly not stoop to get a 99.999999% safe vaccine, because "Merica" Guns don't kill people, stupid ignorant people who shouldn't be within 20 miles of guns kill people Vaccines don't kill people, Joe Holzman kills people by telling them the COVID vaccine is a "death shot". What a godforsaken, pathetic moron. Oh, he serves on a board that makes decisions in Estes Park? What a godforsaken, pathetic town to allow him to continue spewing his hate while serving on a decision-making board, one that impacts real people's lives. I wouldn't trust the man enough to allow him to urinate in a public restroom. He is probably one of the dumbest, most backwards-ass scrotum scratchers to ever set up his surplus Army tent in Estes Park and forage off wild berries and beaver scat, and we've had some doozies.

So to recap

One person died in a rock slide in Estes Park this year, at least one person died of COVID (the state, county, and town don't talk much about COVID). Guess which death got more coverage? Because, of course, rock slides are impossible to avoid, while COVID is a fact of life.
