If you are wondering why Estes Park is doing so well on case numbers and cases/100K when it comes to COVID, it is because we are doing such a poor job (on purpose) of testing and finding/isolating true positives.  And we are lying about our actual year-round population.  The bottom line, though, is that Estes Park is not doing well on preventing deaths, which is the only metric that really counts.  Does Wellington have a hospital?  No.  Does Berthoud have a hospital?  No.  Does Estes Park have a hospital?  Of course it does, supported by the federal government.  Didn't seem to help prevent any deaths.  Does Wellington have a nursing home/assisted living?  Of course it does.  Does Berthoud have a nursing home/assisted living?  Of course it does.  Does Estes Park have a nursing home/assisted living?  Marginally, but we couldn't chase the death magnets in Prospect Park away fast enough, closing down a facility when ...

 Is the Dow Jones Industrial Average: November 30, 2021 latest quote The lagging indicator is death. More (cr)on Canada:

Body found in Conifer following gunshot noises, Kalan woman apprehended in Jefferson County, so why does Estes Park get the nod?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... As with Walter Cronkite's signature close, "If it's in Canada, fur sure it's already in the U.S." The even bigger picture:  If the omicron strain is indeed asymptomatic for a longer incubation time and can evade all current vaccines, we're gonna need a bigger boat (to ferry all the dead bodies over the river Styx, if you are having trouble following this thread).

False prophet Dan Denning and his (American) legion of followers just got the Christmas present they so  violently wished for - A emerging strain of SARS-CoV-2 which will definitely make any current vaccine not worth taking. The newest devil offspring sprung from the richness of the human soil is called Omicron, with the same number of letters in its name as Denning.  Because its spike protein is so vastly different from its predecessors, yet still manages to bind to its target surface protein, it will evade all immunology-based treatments currently on the market or in the pipeline.  Even the current crop of monoclonals, which Dan and his DeSadist-based think tank grudgingly allow, will be worthless against Omicron. Woo-hoo.  Dan Denning got what he wanted all along - A response and an outcome based not on science, or cooperation, or looking out for your fellow man, but on selfishness and horrific, gasping death. What is desperately needed locally is what was request...

By the end of this week, Worldometers will reach 800,000 U.S. deaths due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.  The Johns Hopkins Covid map, which generally lags Worldometers data by 20,000 U.S. deaths, will get to this number around the second week of December. How sad this is so predictable, and how very sad this number, or any number, means so little to so many people.  Losing 800,000 people is the equivalent of losing everyone who lives in Denver.  And Golden.  And Castle Rock.  If, this New Year's Eve, a meteor wiped out Denver and Golden and Castle Rock and Dan Denning said "bring on another meteor", it would be tragic for most rational beings, granted, but it would be supremely problematic to determine if that was even the stupidest thing Dan Denning had said ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY. For misguided idiots like Dan Denning, 800,000 U.S. deaths means absolutely nothing.  It means another day of cranking up the lies and spewing out the hate and misinformation wrapped ...
