Eventually, we will all have had COVID-19 twice and report it half. Check out this link https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00112-2

This is the only local media outlet that will be providing this information. Scan the obituaries for 87-year-old deaths in Estes Park among males, because the obituary won't mention it and the papers won't investigate it. Can you imagine, 20 people in Estes Park have now lost their lives among 3000 reported cases. 20/3000 = just under 1/100 deaths in our community from a piece of nothing virus, easily defeated by a harmless vaccine, a trash virus Debbie Holmes said would kill less people than those people hit by a car at Safeway. I'm anxious to see Debbie's list of all those people hit by cars at Safeway from March 2020 until now. Because the county is keeping a pretty accurate records of deaths in Estes Park from SARS-CoV-2. Update: An 87-year-old gentleman - a pharmacist, no less - dies from unspecified circumstances on January 3. No one dies from COVID in Estes, because it would be an admission that people in Estes die from COVID. So the dead suffer in self-...

Mayor and trustees: Midnight tonight ends an extended water-only fast undertaken to focus attention on the plight of migrants arriving in Denver every day. There are some people I need to thank for keeping tabs on my well-being. Locally, Sybil Barnes called me until I told her it wasn’t necessary, and the Sahms checked on me every day, even after I told them it wasn’t necessary. Former trustees and current library staff members crossed picket lines to see how I was doing, and thank me for taking a stance on a significant issue. Four of the current town board members have a health care background, so obviously recognized this was not an undertaking with zero risk. Our two local media outlets equipped to deal with controversial topics undoubtedly had other motives for getting a status update, but Patti and Jason’s concern appeared quite genuine. One of the local articles covering this included a list of what Denver shelters were requesting as far as donations. This list has gro...

That's Estes Park for you. When they have a chance to get nothing but positive publicity from stepping up and doing what every Colorado community should be doing, but very few Colorado communities besides Estes Park have the money and space and volunteer workforce to be doing, you let your racism and false exceptionalism shine through.

Didya ever think we would be at the cusp of a New Year with 587 deaths from a trash piece of RNA in little ole Larimer County, once COVID arrived on our shores in March 2020? Three years ago, we were welcoming the New Year in complete ignorance of what was brewing in China, soon to arrive in the U.S. Well, most of us were. I wasn't. But it is hard to convince people that something is vastly different from risks overblown before. People are skeptical of anything that they can't see with their own eyes, or have presented to them as real by someone they viciously dislike. I would say most people reading this would belittle the number 587, as if it was no different from deaths due to car accidents or strokes or heart disease or pneumonia. Of course, our life expectancy in the U.S. has decreased since 2020, our replacement rate in various states of the union is at risk of further tottering into negativity (meaning more people are dying in Alabama, for example, than birth occ...

If we can just talk this problem away, we have solved the problem. -Estes Park Town Trustees Now that Larimer County has passed the buck on housing or helping migrants newly arrived into Colorado, what is Estes Park going to do to step up and offer assistance? Or are we just going to mouth the same excuses, wish everyone the best, and not step up to the plate? This time of year in Estes Park, there are plenty of hotel rooms available, plenty of restaurants with open tables, plenty of retired folks with time on their hands, and, from the latest reports, a town obviously flush with cash, or we wouldn't be allocating another $1 million to a road project without batting an eye. What is more important - Human lives or roads? Human lives or comprehensive plans? Human lives or sales tax collection? We have zero burden in Estes Park with homeless folks, because we provide no safety net, especially on weekends, and chase them elsewhere. We are effectively insulating ourselves fro...

Ten years ao, the EPEDC sprang from the loins of Partners for Commerce, back when that was a thing, before we resurrected the Chamber of Horrors, after Citizens for Responsible Frottage collapsed under the sheer weight of the orgy pile. It was just another club for those with too many "let's put on a show" ideas and not enough safe outlets like wood-burning to form or join, only joining this one required $20K of extortion money to keep the infighting from spilling over into the public eye, and for investing in anal beads, probably, who knows. A decade of no tangible accomplishments beyond pumping each other up has caused a few cracks in the facade, though, and the EDCs two resident swell heads have recently carried over their mouth f***ing to the town bulletin board, for reasons unclear. This is all a bit hard to decipher - Is the hospital running out of money again for Country Club dues, or do they want folks like Kevin to go away and stop meddling in their fun? ...
