  1. What’s Island Time? That’s a new one to me.
  2. There’s a thread for that commentary, and you know it. You aren’t even responding to anything on this page. I don’t know why they let you get away with your passive aggrresive CR bullshit that you spew everywhere. if it makes you feel better, this thread got a little off track lately. Cheers and hook ‘em.
  3. I think cheetah’s shut down. Not that I would know anything about that.
  4. Starting to? at this point it all just makes me angry and it shows in my posts. On the plus side, my mother (married to my stepfather who was an obgyn surgeon) is now willing to go get the booster or 3rd shot. She talked to her doctor yesterday. 2 days ago she was telling me that her husband was telling her not to get the 3rd shot and to go on a prophylactic course of (pharmaceutical) ivermectin. Now, I’m not in with the surly group thought that seems to equate Tractor Supply horse paste with prescribed Ivermectin, but it was a relief to say the least. Her doc also said if she shows ANY symptoms that might be even allergies to come in and get tested. He’s got the monoclonal antibody thing and is giving it out immediately to anyone that tests +
  5. @NorthLoopCalled it. Twice. This thing is going to Tampa. I hope. I really don’t want to be looking for a place to stay early next week. No offense to Tampa or Clearwater which might have been the worst place I’ve ever spent 3 or 4 days.
  6. It’s the fucking daily Texan thread about hurricanes. I know you can’t help yourself but no it’s not the place to talk about any of that.
  7. Good grief. Vietnam and Republic downtown, Yardarm is worth a look. Dragonfly on north padre along with Rock n Roll sushi. Scuttlebutt’s for casual food and a good happy hour. There’s plenty of good food. 3putt is right the Mexican food is terrible. He didn’t actually say that but it’s true.
  8. Well, we are up on new cases from last Wednesday, again. However they nailed it and whatever data they are looking at should be at least worth a look as a model going forward. It’s still not a decline yet but it’s looking better. From today’s report - “• New cases showing signs of peaking • Hospitalizations still skyrocketing https://www.cctexas.com/sites/default/files/20210825-Public-Health-Briefing.pdf
  9. I don’t know where they are getting their data for their model then. Avg new cases per day has increased since Aug. 13th. I’m just going off what the county is reporting every day. https://www.caller.com/story/news/local/2021/08/02/nueces-county-covid-tracker-daily-updates-cases-deaths-hospitals/5462565001/
  10. As of late last week Corpus was definitely not declining. Last week’s report was “new cases skyrocketing and hospitalizations skyrocketing.” R# was 1.25 New report comes out today so hopefully it’s better news.
  11. Happy Harvey 4th anniversary everyone! Needless to say that isn’t helping matters with locals here in Port A. Everyone is on edge. I’m Liking the recent storm track towards LA a lot.
  12. What is 95% of the population vs.5%, Alex? Also it’s not surprising to see the lawyers reversing the trend and fucking things up.
  13. So I have a pretty good friend that recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend. He didn’t mention why and I didn’t want to ask. So his girlfriend came into town this weekend and I bumped into her. She’d been drinking and was pretty talkative and eventually brought up why they broke up. Apparently he had been trying to convince her to get vaccinated for a few months and she kept refusing, so last month he decided he’d had enough and told her if she wouldn’t do it he was leaving her. She still refused, so he left her. She’s extremely upset about the whole deal. So I asked her why she wouldn’t take the shot. She said, and I quote “I just don’t want to”. That was her entire reason. At that point I threw my beer on her and walked off. Ok I didn’t do that but I wanted to. And no, y’all don’t want pics. it’s really hard to comprehend the level of stupidity we are dealing with.
  14. Back on track, this wasn’t one of their more thorough updates but https://www.cctexas.com/sites/default/files/20210818-Public-Health-Briefing.pdf And I do like this conclusion : SUMMARY • New cases skyrocketing • Hospitalizations skyrocketing • Recommendations to avoid public health disaster • Change behavior A.S.A.P. • Mask up in public • Social distance • Self-isolate if symptomatic • Get Vaccinated
  15. Yes, but that still doesn’t get you to 30% of adults or whatever it is now that is not vaccinated. Hell, maybe it does. If you just go by age I’m pretty sure the young people are just trying to kill us all off. There is an enormous gap in vaccination rates -roughly 20% - between age 20-40 - and then age 40 plus. im going to put the links in the CR thread because I don’t want to mess this thread up.
  16. I don’t know that there is any evidence of Delta being less harmful or deadly. I think that was more the theory that as the virus evolved it would be less deadly because that’s what a virus tends to do. I’m still amazed by all of this. I know a very large cross section of people and everyone I know is vaxxed and pro vaccine. I’m still trying to figure out who is refusing to do it. It appears to me at least that it’s the uneducated and unfortunately there is no quick or easy fix for that other than cutting out their access to Walmart.
  17. Shit, Eagles had all of like 28 receptions last year and Smith had around 20? Oh and we lost Tariq who got caught from behind by the defender 10 yards behind him that was carrying ctj and Sydney in his jock strap. Our receivers sucked last year. They may suck this year too but they won’t be worse. Moore was our best receiver last year and while he might be a head case, he’s the same dude we trotted out last year. Hopefully we get our guys healthy and they can be better than the suck we had last year - our top 4 receivers combined for around 100 catches for 1500 yards. But yeah, we are going to suck because of our WR group. Holy shit.
  18. Damn, Rene and the girls crushed it.
  19. I’d guess you are Wanker Bob’s new account, but you are much funnier than he was. Hook ‘em.
  20. So my friends on Rebecca won the billfish tournament out of Freeport last weekend and came in 2nd at Legends in Port A the week before that. They also won a tournament early in the season. Having a heck of a year. And I was supposed to fish with them for last weekend’s tournament but had a scheduling conflict. Sucks for me to say the least.
  21. Y’all might have focused too much on the one restaurant. Port A is probably about average as far as vaccinated percentage goes in Texas. Everyone I know is vaccinated and that’s mostly bar and restaurant people. The one, Roosevelt’s, just seems to have a bad group that fed off each other. On the bright side when they re-open it will be the safest place in town
  22. Nah. Port A has been basically open since April/May of 2020 and had almost no Covid. Locals wore masks really well until the mandate got lifted and then masks went out the window like pretty much everywhere in Texas. This is all Delta and it would happen in any tourist town, and is currently happening in every major city in Texas. It’s more noticeable here because we are small and like you mentioned were already having major staffing issues before this spike. Every restaurant in town has tested all their workers. I promise if you tested all the Austin or Dallas or Houston bar/restaurant employees you wouldn’t like the results. I’m just hoping we get over it quickly.
  23. Mea culpa. I thought they couldn’t even ask. They certainly did not ask me anything when I got my first shot and I got it about a month before I was “eligible”. but you can just lie, right? I mean at this point we are just splitting hairs.Nobody is going to make you prove it. so I have to show them my scar from having my colon removed? It’s not like I’ve got a card for that. Or for the blood clot I had a few years back. I know you are not one of the stupid, but fuck anyone that would deny a shot to someone that wants it.
  24. They can’t legally do that. That’s my point. Whether they want to police it or not doesn’t matter. At least that’s my understanding. It might not be hipaa. Anyway, this all appears to be a mute (moo) point with the new guidance coming out. I asked our head pharmacist here in town at CVS, and he said he would not for example, check if I was previously vaxxed at HEB. He said technically they could but in the real world that just isn’t going to happen. They are much more concerned with people just getting the shots.
