Massachusetts consistently ranks toward the top of charts for healthcare, education and quality of life in general. The only real downsides are weather and that is quite expensive. Quite the achievement for a train wreck.

I was talking about the quality, integrity and effectiveness of our government. Not stuff primarily derived to the wealth and legacy we inherited.

If they can't be bothered to protect themselves, they can sign some waivers so that they don't take up ventilators or morgues and let 'em go out and roll the dice.

Yup, there should be a question on the ER Triage 'Are you or have you ever been a COVIDiot" if yes, back of the line or come back later.

I joke ..... but not really.

Thank you for saying this. I've lived in Indiana, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, NY, CT, and now Mass. I usually vote Dem but love Baker. I wanna ask the malcontents here if they'd rather have Dan "Porcupine" Malloy?

This is a legitimately terrible idea.

My opinion is that Baker has done a good job with this. The numbers are decreasing, and although, IMO, he's opening things too quick (yeah its not time to open things up yet), he's not as bad as Florida (now THERE is a trainwreck).

As for the oxford gym, good. I hope he's fined. I hope he gets in serious trouble.

The rules were 'do not open' and he did. Face the consequences. All the other gyms followed the rules.

Go for a run. Do some push-ups. Eat a salad.

If you're fat now, it probably has nothing to do with the closed gyms.

Gym rats aren’t typically worried about cardio or being too small.
