D&D and the rising pandemic

In the USA I figured safest place would be inland on a hill in a geographically stable place not beside a river. Somewhere in the NE Appalachia through to Vermont.

I think you need to account for both droughts and blizzards too, which those places are not immune to.

And ice storms, for that matter.

I'm an Angelino, so all that business of solid water falling from the sky blurs together to me.

(Though we do get hail once in a while, but not like what places that get real hail get).

I think my criteria were.

1. At least 10km from an active volcano.
2. No major fault lines nearby.
3. At least 10m above any nearby rivers.
4. Convenient hill nearby if coastal.
5. No extreme weather.
6. No offshore volcanos or shelves that can generate tsunami's.

Boring stuff. I don't recommend watching much more than 2-10 minutes but it's for comparison purposes. We get these almost daily


49 cases today only 7 were community spread as such. Of those 7 cases they had 9 points of contact mostly supermarkets.

Basic idea is break the transmission chains. And clear communication.

Luna's not so good at social distancing. Mask use not to bad.

Courts told him his tirade against masks in schools was not legal I read

There’s another showdown brewing in Florida. Like Gov. Abbott in Texas, Gov. DeSantis issued orders against mask mandates and vaccine passports.

Well, Disney has decided you’re not getting in one of their cruise ships without a vaccine passport. And Florida is one of their major port states. Oh yeah, plus they have amusement parks there, too. IOW, Disney, a large American company and a major force in Florida’s economy is basically telling DeSantis to take a hike.

So the big question is: how much will he try to flex on the House of Mouse? If he can’t force Disney to comply, his executive orders fall apart; the bans cannot hold.

The slouching rough beast heading his way looks very mouselike…

Just a heads up...on disasters...

Lightning likes to strike the tallest object around...though not limited to just that, it's more attracted to the highest object than to other objects...

Tornadoes like to hit the top of hills and skip from top to top. They can go down somewhat, but generally skip over valleys more than hill tops. Hill top houses in tornado country may not be the smartest thing. Of course there's always the chance they get winding through a valley as well...so...

Hope you have a deep enough tornado cellar or basement...

And he’s not changing his rhetoric or course of action. Basically, contempt of court on Florida’s daily news.

Oh, and by the way, say hello to Mu.

The WHO is tracking a new COVID-19 variant called Mu that might be able to evade immunity from vaccines and previous infections

The WHO says the Mu variant is now in 39 countries, and has a "constellation of mutations" that might allow it to evade vaccine immunity.

Mostly in South America iirc

Kick in the love spuds. Maybe delta being so virulent has positive side effect
