Can you point out where I've denied science? Covid has wrecked my life so yea I'm a little angry about it but I'm still following the rules and doing my part.



Screw that my windows are already full of halloween decorations and I'll do that same for christmas. Since you're a healthcare worker you certainly have to take greater precautions and I don't think that interaction at the door is a great idea either, I liked @cannabineer idea of the gift bags. More effort has been made by this stupid Province to reduce the price of beer, open bars and allow alcohol delivery than has been given to kids for one night.



I'm not saying you, but in general this is selective morality and a bit hypocritical. We're all about protecting the kids when the want is theirs, but hey lets pack them into a covid infested school 'cause I need to go to work.

I get it, I just cannot chance anyone coming around, it is usually pretty interactive at my place. Here is a couple clips from 2019 and 2017. Last years downpour caused me to change some things up like moving my holograms to the porch. It was actually a really good turn out for so much rain but still could have been better.

I don't agree. I can see it and it's not easy.

Where did I say it was easy?

Children feed off our emotions and expectations. They look to their parents for cues in how to respond to the world. Instead if we thought outside of the box and presented something different they would not be as affected by this because they are not as ingrained into societal ritual expectations. Teenagers have ingrained expectations but can also use the internet to meet their social needs.

Unfortunately there is nothing else we can do but deal with it afterward and hopefully there will be an afterward.

I understand your point but I'm noticing other things. I can see the sadness that they get here and there. There's more I've noticed but this isn't something I need or want to share online.

Age plays a huge role in children understanding and being able to know how to handle situations and emotions.

Also thinking outside of a box that has constantly changing dimensions is a challenge. Adding kids or any dependents to that, even more so.

That's a good idea and with parents keeping an eye out you could make each side of the street directional depending if it's odd or even. It's all doable... we've put a bunch of effort into making sure the bars were open and sports are on TV, give the kids halloween.

There are a bunch of designs for candy tossers out on the web. Some are 3d printable. No contact halloween. ;)

We prioritized based on Maslow's Hierarchy. While I would expect people to have a psychological reaction to the things that need done, we still have to prioritize physical health before mental health because much of mental health is based on physical. That being said they are your kids and your family and I wish you well if you choose to prioritize differently than I would.

I speak of Maslow's Hierarchy often. Almost no one knows what I'm referring to. I just like you so much...

CDC estimates there have been almost 300,000 excess deaths in the U.S. this year
Source: Yahoo! News

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a new report estimates there have been almost 300,000 excess deaths in the United States this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

CDC researchers on Tuesday said that while about 216,000 deaths from COVID-19 had been confirmed as of Oct. 15, this "might underestimate the total impact of the pandemic on mortality," and they write that "299,028 excess deaths have occurred in the United States from late January through October 3, 2020, with two thirds of these attributed to COVID-19."

This number takes into account fatalities from all causes "in excess of the expected number of deaths" for this period of time, the researchers explain.

The report found the largest percentage increases occurred among Hispanics and among adults age 25 to 44, with the latter group seeing a 26.5 percent spike.
