Ski Season 2020/2021
IMO they are both fine options based on how the town is set up, just depends on your traveling crew details. There is a free bus that loops between the town and mountain and is like a 5-10 minute drive depending on stops. It gets a little sleepy on the mountain at night and there’s way more bars and restaurants in town. So either enjoy ski in/out’ish on the mountain and bus it into town for dinner, or enjoy the town offerings for happy hours / dinners / shops and bus up and back to ski. Literally can’t go wrong. If you’ve never done CB a rental house in town steps from a bus stop and walkable to elk avenue is probably ideal. But if you have a crew of younger kids (where gear and getting to the slopes can be a beating) then something on the mountain may be better. There are a couple mountain neighborhoods away from the main base that are a bit out of the way which would be my third choice, but not a bad one.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I can’t speak to Pfizer/Moderna combo, but 2500 is super high. I scored like 750 in mid December after second Moderna in April and was scheduled for a booster this week but the Chron beat me to it. My only question is how/if a booster helps someone already at 2500.

Ski Season 2020/2021
This is really good advice for a beginner family. Angel Fire with good snow is more than enough terrain for first timers, but the town is very sleepy and there isn’t much of a base/lodge. Depending on age of kids, budget, and interest you could drive an extra 3’ish hours to Breckenridge (or many others off I70) or Crested Butte and experience a ski town that pales in comparison.

For fucks sake, I’m saying covid gave me a 102 fever, but could do much worse to my elderly parents if they caught it. Therefore a test helps. No plans to socialize or kiss memaw while I had a fever. If people can’t find tests, there is no fucking way we wait TEN days before going back into the public after having a fever for ~24 hours.

Riiiight, that’s exactly what I said. Are you really saying that better testing availability wouldn’t help the current covid situation?
-
COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Why test? For me it starts with knowing how my medical situation affects those around me. You know wife, kids, parents, coworkers, strangers at the grocery, etc. To know if I have a cold, or allergies, or the flu versus covid is a big deal. I had a 102+ fever and chills, but passing covid to my old vaxxed parents could have a worse result. Unless the objective is to get as many people sick as possible to get herd immunity, I don’t think there are tools other than vaccines or testing to get society back to normal.

Similar symptoms here. Tested positive today, but had only taken ibuprofen this morning and hadn’t gotten over 99 temp. I’m over the hump in like 24 hours after peaking at 102 last night. Team Moderna made this no big deal. The lack of testing is a massive shitshow. Thinking it would take like an hour, I waited four fucking hours today after scouring all Austin options.

This is the current line for a drive through testing site on William Cannon. Can’t find an appointment until Wednesday. Two hour line. My fever is down to 99 with ibuprofen but 103 last night with major body aches sucked.

Feeling shittier as the day has gone by. Now have 101 fever and body aches, minor sore throat. Can’t find any test appointments until Tuesday (checked all across Austin), but i don’t have much doubt.

Got my second test result from the cares CPL study. Second of initial Moderna shots in April, come September I scored 771…just did second draw and got 512. It may be upthread, but how are people thinking about boosters with vax antibodies +500?
