I was at the Drs yesterday and told the Nurse I do not personally know of anyone that has, or has had, COVID and she told me that neither does she, which I found surprising. I turned 61 last week and have already lost a number of friends for a variety of reasons but so far nothing from COVID. I hope it stays that way.
However, in a month, a bunch of rich-asshole-kids from downstate are going to come up here, to the university, and throw parties. We've also got a lot of Chinese students coming in. If we're not a hot-spot, I'll buy the next round.
I grew up in Syracuse, so I know what you're saying. When I was a teenager we used to refer to SU as Jew U because of all the rich Jewish kids that would go to school there, most of which seemed to be from NJ.
I still have a lot of friends and family in Syracuse, including my Parents. My Dad turns 86 next week and my Mom is 89. I worry about them the most but they live in West Monroe, which is a rural town on the North shore of Oneida Lake, and the number of cases of COVID in their area is extremely low, so they're doing ok so far.

Cases in Syracuse are about to explode. I'm not going to address your comments about the demography of SU, at the time. We have a LOT of Chinese students, students from Westchester and Jersey, and from South Florida.
I'm seriously considering deferring until the Spring. The university just doesn't seem to have a handle around opening back up.

Probably a good idea. The only thing that University has a handle on is making money.

When I turned forty, we were waiting for the big pink pile of stucco to be completed. All I asked for, when Grumpy and I talked about buying a house, was that it be a one story.
The big pink pile of stucco was three stories.
I am so much happier now that we are old and live in a three bedroom one story house with a small backyard. My knees and back do not hurt all the time anymore. Also, now if the house begins to burn down, I have a better chance of being able to drag Grumpy's drunken ass out the front door.

Life begins at 40 if you have been working toward it. Otherwise the pain will continue indefinitely until attitudes change. So say the tyrants. It will continue as long as we allow it. For most people, life sucks about now.
Found myself in the Matrix and took the red pill. Now I want the blue pill and my bottle and leave me alone.
