PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION NOV. 13-5, 2020) — In large part due to THE PLANET‘s coverage and the relentless nature of the community’s ensuing discussions, the City of Pittsfield has issued emergency orders to combat an alarming uptick in new COVID-19 cases.

“You were the only one who talked about this,” said one city hall source. “I think [THE PLANET‘s] investigation helped move [the city] to act and act promptly. You got into the details of a lot of stuff that would have remained hidden.”

In between those lines: Once again, local and lame-stream media has to play catchup with THE PLANET, who alone dares to look behind the drawn curtains.

Now the news.

Just since yesterday, the Hot Harry’s locations in Pittsfield shut down due to the manager contacting the virus, sources said. It’s not know how many staff or customers were infected. Also, sources say the Proprietor’s Lounge may have contributed to the new outbreak by hosting a Halloween gathering where adults freely mingled without social distancing or masks, with children going to various tables for candy. Also, 99 has been shuttered due to undisclosed incidents related to the virus.

Responding to a wave of frustration and anger over the arrogance of taverns and private groups as well as the state’s designation of Pittsfield as a Code Red COVID city, the mayor’s office issued the following release:

———- ooo ———-

THE CITY OF PITTSFIELD OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

70 Allen Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201

Steady uptick in COVID-19 cases in Pittsfield result in new restrictions, temporary closures

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (Nov. 12, 2020) – With the number of new positive COVID-19 cases continuing to rise in Pittsfield, and with growing levels of concern for the potential of further community spread, on Thursday, the city’s COVID-19 Task Force identified several immediate actions to slow the spread of the virus in the city.

Since Oct. 22, there have been 169 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Pittsfield. These cases have been directly attributed to large get-togethers in restaurants and large private gatherings held in residences and attended by individuals from multiple households.

“We have reached a point of crisis in our city that impacts our entire community. The number of COVID-19 cases have grown exponentially over a very short period of time,” said Mayor Linda Tyer. “Based on our current case rates and using the state’s new calculations to determine risk, Pittsfield has moved into the red category, making us a high-risk community. We need to take aggressive action now to get us back on the right course and reverse this alarming trend.”

Beginning Friday, Nov. 13, all of the following actions will take effect:

  •   Today, the Pittsfield Board of Health will be issuing an emergency order suspending table service at city restaurants until further notice. Local eateries will still be allowed to provide take-out and delivery service. Patrons should feel free to utilize the city’s temporary “grab-and-go” zones for food pickup, which were installed this past spring throughout the downtown. These designated areas offer free and time limited space to allow for quick customer turnover and social distancing.
  •   Pittsfield Public Schools will transition to all-remote learning through Friday, Dec. 4. Current elementary, middle, and high school schedules will be followed.

page1image64101504

Meals will be available tomorrow for children 18 and under. They can be picked up between 11:45 a.m. -12:15 p.m. at the following sites:

o Conte Community School, 200 W. Union St.
o Morningside Community School, 100 Burbank St.
o Allendale Elementary School, 180 Connecticut Ave. o Egremont Elementary School, 84 Egremont Ave.

For more information, please visit the district’s website at pittsfield.net.

 The Board of Health will issue an emergency order stepping back the City of Pittsfield to Step 1 of Phase 3. Until further notice, the following sectors are no longer permitted to do the following:

o Indoor performance venues will be permitted to open with 50 percent capacity with a maximum of 250 people.

o Outdoor performance venue capacity will increase to 50 percent with a max of 250 people.

o For arcades and indoor and outdoor recreation businesses, additional Step II activities like trampolines, obstacle courses, roller rinks and laser tag will also be permitted to open and capacity will increase to 50 percent.

o Fitting rooms will be permitted to open in all types of retail stores.
o Gyms, museums, libraries and driving and flight schools will also be

permitted to increase their capacity to 50 percent.

Being a high-risk community also means that the state’s current gathering order changes in one way. Currently, the gathering limits are:

o Indoor gatherings at private residences is 10.
o Outdoor gathering limit for private residences is 25 people.
o Indoor gatherings at event venues and other public spaces is 25.
o Now that Pittsfield is high-risk, outdoor gatherings are now reduced to 50.

For more information on sector specific guidance, please visit www.mass.gov/reopening.  Municipal buildings will be closed to the general public. Community members can

visit the city’s website, www.cityofpittsfield.org, to manage their business needs.

Residents should continue to utilize the drop box located in the rear of City Hall to submit correspondence that would normally have to be dropped off at City Hall. Individuals seeking to make an appointment or those with specific questions for city departments, should utilize the City Hall directory, 413-449-5600, during the hours of 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for assistance. To arrange fingerprinting for firearms, please the Pittsfield Police Department at 448-9716; for licensing prints, please call 448-9723.

———- ooo ———-

That’s a decent start, but it doesn’t go far enough. All indoor and outdoor performance venues should be shut down entirely, along with arcades and the recreation businesses that will be allowed to stay open. The new rules permit up to 250 people to attend. It will be impossible to practice safe health with so many people. It leads to the fair question of just how concerned is the city when it builds in these end-arounds.

Besides officials, THE PLANET has heard from many citizens who have shared stories. Here are two of them. The first is from Gregg Williams:

“This past Sunday I arrived at Kirvin Park on Williams St in Pittsfield for a walk and was horrified to find a massive gathering for a youth soccer game with students and parents well exceeding the state limitation of 100 judging by a simple eye test. Kids participating in the game were a mess between masked and unmasked.  Parents were closely huddled, many not abiding by the mask mandate for public spaces set by the governor. Most shocking was an unsupervised table with pizzas that the kids had free reign to grab from and I observed several unmasked reach in with bare hands. I found this appalling given that the new mandates from Governor Baker took effect the previous Friday. It came as no surprise to me that a Pittsfield High Student tested positive this week and the schools have returned to remote learning. I believe there could be a connection between that event and spread through the schools; this appeared to be high school aged kids.  I do not know which city league is currently operating as I was under the impression the public schools are not running sports programs.
“Even more astounding has been the lack of response from responsible parties. I have attempted to contact the Pittsfield Department of Health several times and with the exception of one answer, all have been forwarded to a voicemail. The one time a live agent answered, without any question or concern of my report, I was transferred to another voicemail.  A call to Jim McGrath from the parks department yielded no result as well. I also attempted to reach the state health department and each call was directed to a voicemail box that is full. The fact that the public health department would not have somebody triaging these types of calls on the weekends especially when one would assume large gatherings would be more likely to take place is so troublesome and even more troublesome given the current uptick in the city.
“Note I did call the BMC triaging line for advice, and was advised to call the PPD non emergency line. By that time I observed from my car the event thinning. Additionally, I used that non emergency line to report a large basketball game several months ago, as competitive basketball is barred from the state and waited at the park only for no police presence to arrive.  The respect for rules and regulations comes from the top and if our city leaders are not setting an example, then the current result is to be expected.
On a side note — I found it beyond disgraceful that the mayor has been preaching COVID safety but was beaming with pride as she gave a speech at a large Biden rally/party this past weekend with 80 guests according to the Boring Broadsheet reporting.
———- ooo ———-

From a knowledgable source familiar with the local food and bar industry:

“I just finished reading[THE PLANET’s] coverage. You put as much out there as you could without speculating, but Yuki, while trying to cover her ass, basically admitted that she lets people into her bar to just drink. She let non-staff stay after hours and have a ‘shift drink’?  All of which are against the COVID regulations. And we all know that nothing will happen. The trail of COVID that left her bar that night has closed down other restaurants. Sage and Madison Soldato, daughters of Mickey and Lynn of Zucchinis and Roasted Garlic, where in Methuseleh’s that night, Madison is 18. They both have tested positive, but not before going to get their hair and nails done and serving customers at their parents’ restaurants while waiting for their test results. So irresponsible. That is why the two restaurants closed, not to ‘deep clean” but because they had to.

“I have heard from a lot of people that are pissed to find out about stuff like this happening. Methuselah is a late-night hangout for other restaurants and bar staff to go for drinks, and it only takes a quick stop in there after 11 to see it. Now with the new time for closing hopefully that will end.

That original ‘party of 10’ who left Mazzeo’s to head to Methuselah’s were not the only ones to get COVID that night at Methusela’s, but that is all they are reporting. Thank you for writing this story and we are enjoying the comments. You are the only one who is going to talk about this.”
———- ooo ———-

THE PLANET‘s coverage is this story could only have been done with the help of concerned citizens that (a) have credible and specific information and (b) are willing to share it. If you or anyone you know has such information, let us know. Unlike the local lame-stream media, we’re open for business.

The most frustrating aspect of this recent outbreak is that it never had to happen at all. As the mayor’s press release says, the selfishness of certain restaurants, bars, and people who hosted and attended large, private gatherings has once again sent the city back onto the trash heap.

Have a great weekend, everybody.

There is no limit to the number of bums Tyer will allow to mooch on street corners – she claims they have a constitutional right- yet she is telling us homeowners we can’t have more than 10 people visit. News flash – that’s unconstitutional.

Hello! as an employee of Proprietors, someone who lost my job today due to the shut down, I am even more distraught now by reading the article. A halloween party as accused of, never occurred at my job as I have worked every single day. Since opening in June my coworkers and I have put our blood sweat and tears into enforcing safety measures for my customers and am beyond frustrated, depressed and simply angry at others who have ruined it for the rest of us. It is CLEAR that this city is working in favor of certain establishments, and against others. But it would be heavily appreciated if accusations were properly fact checked (such as this claimed Halloween party) before slandering local businesses in such a small town during this horrific time, and on the very day so many people were laid off. The city needs to take ownership for allowing certain businesses to disregard COVID safety guidelines and not punish the rest. It is NOVEMBER the city has been made aware of Methuselahs actions all summer long. Why is it that things are only now coming to light when other businesses seem to be involved? Seems like a convenient way to deflect.

You are Lyoning about it or are completely incompetent. Well you can’t even lie right.
Were you diligently enforcing mask and social distancing at the wedding in July? The pictures are amazing because not one person has a mask. They are sitting shoulder to shoulder.
You got busted by the city for such lax enforcement and violating capacity.

Remember the wedding July 31, no masks hundreds of people, overcrowding? Proprietors Lodge.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUs23gpUfp/?igshid=1l698ttfflv1t

https://www.iberkshires.com/story/62927/Proprietor-s-Lodge-Faces-License-Suspension-.html

The Licensing Board has suspended the license of Proprietor’s Lodge after it hosted a wedding in July that drew almost 120 people.

The board voted 3-2 Monday to suspend the alcohol license from Aug. 30 to Sep. 5 because the wedding was not in compliance with Gov. Charlie Baker’s pandemic orders.

“There is evidence that the licensee violated Governor Baker’s order No. 44; there is also evidence that the licensee essentially admitted that,” Chairman Thomas Campoli said. “I don’t believe Proprietor’s is taking this seriously.”

“ Manager Candice Lyon said attendees were only allowed to take their masks off while eating and she did her best to enforce this.

“It is really important to me, and my staff is really important to me,” she said. “Three of my daughters were there, so I really do try to make them safe.”

Need pics?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUs23gpUfp/?igshid=1l698ttfflv1t

I have pictures of the October 30/31 festivities with kids without masks going table to table.
In fact Proprietors even advertised it, come in get a free pumpkin.
What’s the point of social distancing if you bunch up kids and send them around for candy at tables?

“We went to Proprietors with the kids in costume, they went table to table getting candy. It was lots of fun for a bunch of kids to get together.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-YJtaJalm/?igshid=19afwbjbs39ye

There are pictures, if you’d like, from families with kids in the restaurant. Going to strangers tables some not wearing masks.
That’s not safe social distancing.

So don’t pretend you are innocent in this, in the short time Proprietors has been open they’ve violated a number of rules, even before Covid.

I appreciate your research and your interest in the Lodge! I am fully aware of all of this, as well as a lot more that is conveniently not mentioned to the public on prop’s behalf. As for the wedding, you’re right, we were penalized to certain guests from a wedding taking their masks off at certain points. What wasn’t explained to the public is that Proprietors actually had no staff on site that day. The restaurant had made the financially crippling decision to close on this day to provide for as much social distancing as possible for the wedding. This means that since we had no staff on site, there was an outside catering company there running the show who saw zero consequences to this! This is what I mean when I tell you my coworkers and I were frustrated with having a perfect summer with the guidelines until the one day we are not there to enforce them. Even a member of the licensing board said to us things have been perfect until this day. We fully understood what happened at the wedding and if you are upset about it still it is understandable! But it is also important to fully understand what happened and the fact that a business was shut down for one violation while others were ignored while there were violating all summer long. Also understand how that effects over 35 employees who weren’t even present for the matter.

As for the Halloween pumpkin decorating, thank you for bringing that up! It was actually my idea. I was so excited to be able to give advertise a way for kids to enjoy their halloween in such a harmless and safe way. What we advertised and conducted was fully socially distanced. The kids were given pumpkins and paint at their tables while they were waiting for their meals and their parents were thrilled. It was a quieter night but it was a great small way for us to extend our business during what has been the hardest time. When one table was leaving there was another table that offered their kids a piece of candy. Im aware of the group photo you are referring to and if it makes you feel any better, those people were sitting at the same table any ways.

I guess my main point when I originally posted is this: if you really can’t see the difference between a business offering a small way to families for them to help their business and Methuselah literally breaking every rule in the book all summer long then that is a huge issue.

I have been into Meth on several occasions this summer, all of which I was never asked to order food, the tables were all on top of each other and there were so many people standing with no masks that I could not even move. ALL of these occasions I know for a fact that the city was notified, sent photos, and ignored it. Meanwhile we were given a major penalty for one violation. If you can’t see the difference between these two and the problem with our city officials, then I urge you to open your eyes a bit wider.

You asked for my full transparency and I gave it. If only the city would give us theirs.

You can’t help but lie can you? The owner and manager clearly stated who was on site and what their jobs were during that wedding.

“Taylor said the order was not clear that staff had to count, and he noted kitchen staff never really mingled with the public. He also was not aware of the need to separate the indoor and outdoor gatherings and felt this too was unclear.”
“He added that this bottom line of 118 did not include the 10 to 12 staff at the wedding.”

In all of the pictures, not one mask is shown being warn or even present.
Every candid picture, no masks. A hundred plus people shoulder to shoulder no masks.

“Manager Candice Lyon said attendees were only allowed to take their masks off while eating and she did her best to enforce this.
She’s in pictures, no mask on, standing looking at hundreds of people without masks on.
So the manager isn’t staff? The dozens of employees there weren’t staff? Taylor just made up those numbers of people?

“It is really important to me, and my staff is really important to me,” she said. “Three of my daughters were there, so I really do try to make them safe.”
There are even pictures of your actual staff and Candice walking around, not social distancing, and not wearing masks.

“As for the dance floor, Taylor admitted there was a DJ but there was no established dance floor. Spouses and family members danced together and people danced alone.”
Again Taylor lied.

“Campoli added that the Proprietor’s Lodge is only allowed amplified music during wedding ceremonies.”

“Taylor said there was only one out-of-town guest.” Again a lie, I know many of the people at that wedding, many were from “out of town” as well as “out of state”.

I just mentioned two violations but we can go into all of them if you like, there are many. There’s also the fact that you’ve lied repeatedly in the few posts you’ve made here.
The owner has lied, as has the manager numerous times, they lied half a dozen times in the meeting over the Covid wedding. There’s both a video and transcripts of it along with plenty of reporting.
They lied about the tests, they lied about the number of guests, they lied about mask enforcement.

There are dozens of pictures on the internet of violations at the Proprietors Lodge. There are dozens pictures of people that shouldn’t have alcohol on site all over Instagram, Facebook, and tiktok. Violations are like speeders, not everyone gets punished but that doesn’t mean you weren’t wrong and don’t deserve punishment. You’ve gotten plenty of passes.
If you have a problem with enforcement, take it up with the city.

Want to talk about the Halloween mess you created? I have pictures of children going table to table, no masks, going up to strangers getting pictures taken, getting candy. Parents posting on Instagram pictures of their kids no masks with staff with no masks. It’s not just one picture it’s maybe half a dozen.

But here’s the saddest part, you are just like Yuki. You continue to lie about your own responsibility while bemoaning others aren’t getting caught. That makes your position one of “if they didn’t get caught, we shouldn’t get caught.

Here’s what I’m going to do for you, I promise you I’m going to open my eyes very wide, and I’m going to turn it towards the lodge. When city hall opens again, it might be in 3 months, it might be in 6 months. I will make sure to present EVERY picture and video I have of every violation that I have from your establishment’s operation. From the mundane parking issues, to the guests urinating on neighbors bushes, to other problems, as yet not discussed, but serious enough to close you down for good. I’ll present them to the BOH, building inspector, DEP, licensing board, and to the State. Then you can argue their validity to the authorities who oversee your licenses. If they give you a pass, good for you. If they close you down temporarily or for good, make sure you complain how it’s unfair.

Thank you so much Linda Pensivy for deciding to involve me in this great discussion. I see you said kids went table to table for candy on trick or treat. I know you are referring to the two children and myself who visited that night. So let me make this clear. I had a mask, the kids were in literal bubbles of costumes specially due to the pandemic. We did a SAFE trick or treat only around my yard. Candace was nice enough to have put aside a couple of WRAPPED canDy bags for my boys and when we went there(our only outing of the night ) the two boys in there completely contained costumes did a short walk by all the tables near the patio. One table of adults who never even got up asked for a picture. It’s so sad you are willing to use anyone and anything you can to help in your witch-hunt of proprietors, but we had nothing but the safest of interactions that evening and anytime we’ve ever been there. In the future I fully expect you to leave me and my family out of you and your few neighbors vindictive assault of this restaurant.

Why go there several times, didn’t you consider the risk, knowing the guidelines were not being followed – maybe refrain from returning then ?? And, NO, a violation is a violation – there’s no consideration for the reason – that’s how rules work.

I have to say this. None of you have a clue. You stalk ur social media to troll n input your bullshit opinions. You are speaking to a woman who works in the industry and you say she’s full of it? What do you know? One violation. Just as so many restaurants also have! So stay the hell in your lane, and mind your own damn business. It’s bad enough proprietors has such asshole neighbors, believe me, they are enough of a pain in their ass, no one needs your dumb comment. So why don’t you worry about yourself and leave this women alone. It’s really pathetic reading these comments. I know we are all bored but get a life

This is the place that had 120 people and 20 working a wedding. Nobody was wearing masks. They lost their license for a week. This is the place that has violated just about every order and restriction the city put on them, from parking, to music, to hours they are allowed to serve alcohol.

That was in July so if this woman had been working there, she did a really bad job at enforcing masks or safety. People were shoulder to shoulder, no masks and in July you couldn’t get a walk-in Covid test on demand so they lied about that too.

The halloween party with kids going table to table and not wearing masks is all over Facebook. Lots of pictures.

y’all are completely missing the real issue here. Everyone knows of the violation prop had over the summer, but they served their penalty and have had zero issues since. The anger should be directed towards the businesses that have ignored every guideline all summer long and the city has ignored every single time and given zero violation. If you are upset at proprietors for their July incident, you should be furious at this.

I can’t see why your comment gets a negative response unless councils think they are entitled to special treatment and should be allowed to break the law. But that is how it is around here and it doesn’t matter if Yuki’s stupidity bankrupts a lot of people or physically harms them – she is allowed to do what she wants Scott free. So disgusting.
Also, I guess I am a hypocrite but don’t like naming and shaming of the young persons in this column. I know they are old enough to know better but their adults are setting a bad example.

China brought the virus to our country and the rest of the world. Europe is having major problems. Wake up to reality. China sent the virus to the world to strengthen China and weaken other countries especially America. China wants to be #1. Marxists in this country want China to be #1. China is so happy that Biden has been elected. Their plan is working. The globalists are using the virus to create one world government and a one world economy that will bring the world to totalitarian government. People need to see the big picture here.

President Trump saved millions from the virus, but China and the far left, working together, have been spreading lies to get Biden elected.

Oh the irony!

The governor is going to be pissed when he finds out a city councilor and close friend of the mayor engaged in a series of events that put Pittsfield right back to March 2020 and erased every gain of the last nine months’ of pandemic control. Remember his press conference when Pittsfield screwed up so bad in March? This is ten times worse.

I still share the sentiment of Cohen that the FEAR of the virus is overshadowing the reality that half of those tested probably are not even sick. But I agree with the anger of recklessness and defiance of the law and state-issued mandates.

Everyone knows no one celebrated birthdays in 2020. Those celebrations went right down the drain with the nonexistent toilet paper. Shame shame shame.

Either the numbers matter or they don’t. Either the rules matter or they don’t. Since there are rules and numbers that guide our lives right now, that’s what we worry about.
The fake crap about the “fear of the virus” hey smoosh face, that’s not your call to make.
You’re a bar owner, plus you don’t get to decide what’s a medical emergency or what constitutes a pandemic. Want to tell people not to worry, start by going door to door to the 67+ families who had someone die, they’ll them their fears are irrational.
It’s not an irrational fear of this virus, it’s a virus whose consequences are far beyond just the infection rate and death toll.
Everyone’s lives, education, jobs, hang in the balance based on the numbers. If you are a selfish cutn like Yuki, getting laid and making money is all you care about. You don’t think for one second about all the other businesses, the families, the employees. She knew her boyfriend was getting a Covid test and probably had a high likelihood of having Covid. She kept her bar open, even while her staff and her were dropping like flies. It shows she was only thinking of herself.
We don’t get though this just thinking of ourselves but for Yuki it’s ok. Tell the restaurant owners not to fear the closure of 90% of their livelihood. Tell the employees that got laid off not to fear, Yuki will pay all their bills, tell the kids who can barely learn and who don’t have meals, nor to worry Yuki will get them back in school and make sure they are fed. Tell the parents that have to cut hours to take care of their kids, now out of school, not to fear Yuki will pay their lost wages and cover their insurance.

Yeah Yuki’s got a real casual attitude towards Covid because in the end she only gives a $hit about herself. She’s a narcissistic bithc who’s as damaged as they come.

Which ends up being the perfect example of the all talk and no bite narrative we’ve heard all along… All we have heard from you is “oh the numbers, oh the deadly virus, oh it’s not just the flu…”

And still…no dice. Yes, 50 people have died countywide. But 46 of them died prior to July… The beginning was a mess. It was. But we’ve come a long way.

No one wants the virus period. No one wants to awful experience that the virus infects in some of its recipients. But we have come a long way from March April and May.

I don’t with Cohen’s indifference to the law. I am as angered as anyone that we have now regressed back to April 2020. It is unfair. But at the same time, when does it end? It is obvious eradication is a far-fetched hope…it’s not going away…I’m asking you honestly, where does this end?

Your mental illness is evident. You can try and come up with different names and $hit to try and distract from your stupidity but it doesn’t change things.
We’ve come nowhere from April. We are, by the numbers, as bad if not worse in cases. We can wait until the death start piling up too if that makes you feel better
Did you ever think the reason it’s not as bad is because we took those measures? I guess not. Given just an inch and these people have set us back months. Increase people together in situations without masks and things get worse. Schools closed AGAIN and so are restaurants. Do we really need to stack more bodies to prove you are wrong.
So if you don’t like it that’s ok, just stay home.
It’s the same bull$Hit denial Yuki has.

Your question is fair and I apologize for being mean. You keep calling me out for things I didn’t do or have no control over.
It ends when we have a vaccine.
The biggest problem was they set the expectations too low as to the end and what we had to do.
Masks for everyone always when out
50% capacity everywhere including schools
Stay home or get takeout if you can
One family member shopping when possible
Bars and restaurants track all patrons with names and phone numbers.
Wait for a vaccine.
That should have been the expectation. It wasn’t. They even predicted a surge now and it was like saying it just made people not care. Just like this was new in March, and we didn’t know anything, we still don’t know anything. We don’t know any of the long term impacts, maybe it isn’t a big deal, maybe it’s a very big deal. The vaccine is being rushed though, maybe there will be long term problems with the vaccine? No body knows.
Spanish flu took two years to settle down and we didn’t have the global travel we have now.

It’s a corona virus, it’s easy to fix, there are vaccines for them already. It’s just this strain that’s the problem. Next year it might be a different one or a mutation.
What this kills beyond the people is the economy. Businesses can’t keep opening and closing and opening and closing. It’s killing them. We’ve been told the numbers and the rules, the problem is people don’t think it’s that big of a deal, like you, not enough dead, or Yuki, it more fear of than the actual virus.
You guys don’t get to decide. You should just follow the rules as they are and stop undermining g people trying to stay with the rules

Just for further edification, we are starting to see that there may be much longer-term organ damage from Covid even to people who had “mild cases.” Heart damage, liver, kidney and lung damage all see to be manifestations of this. We are 9 months in at this point. Nine months is not “long term.” Fact is, we have zero idea what the long term I pacts of this scourge might be, but to minimize or deny any impacts, long or short term, is short sighted and foolish. Wear a mask, stay away from crowds, calm down and hole the vaccines come sooner.

BMC had hardly any COVID-19 patients throughout the pandemic so I really don’t think our local hospital personnel are burned out. Same with the Gt. Barrington hospital. At the height of the pandemic there were seldom more than 10-12 patients in the hospital at any given time and that’s all the patients they had because everybody else refused to even go near the hospitals.

Learning that there are only 3, or so,, patients at BMC does not comfort me. Only the most severe cases go to the hospital. But dozens more who test positive for the virus and who are suppose to stay home for 14 days are selfishly doing their own thing.

And there are many more who have it and are asymptomatic and also freely roaming around.

If people are angry about the violations, you can certainly understand why.

Spider, I question the numbers of “positive” tests and the reporting.

Elon Musk reported being tested today and received 2 positive tests and 2 negative tests on the same equipment (BD) on the same day.
It has also been reported that Fisher Scientific equipment delivers a 98% positive result.
There are also issues with the Abbott instant test.
So how do we know the accuracy of the testing & reporting? Cities are being locked down based on the number of positive covid tests, and people are losing their jobs due to businesses & schools closing. Kids are losing valuable education time.

Quite frankly the only two people I know of who tested positive for covid are an elderly infirm couple in a nursing home who had no symptoms & are still among the living!

You might want to fact check your information before posting false accusations. My sister was not at methuselahs because, as you stated, she is underage ….
My family was tested and we all came back negative. When the second rounds came back positive that’s when we CHOSE to close, NOT because we had to. For you to say we were spreading the virus is just an outright lie. How dare you deface us through the boundaries of an article when half of it isn’t even true. Is this how you get popular?

Can you explain why you were out at multiple businesses while waiting for your COVID test? Can you explain why your mother ranted on FB that no one at your business has COVID or the statement your business posted saying no has had symptoms or tested positive. Can you explain why your employees were sent to work without knowledge of your pending tests. Our how your were double masked waiting on customers knowing you were positive. If the temporary loss of your liquor license and your impending fine weren’t enough you continue putting the community at risk. Your family should be ashamed

I’m gonna make a bet but we will never get the truth.
Somebody in their family or at their work or in their group of friends tested positive.
So being who they are, they ran out and immediately got tested at CVS or MedExpress because they were told don’t come in by BMC. So being the dumb a$$es they are they did a test where ever they could get in.
The problem is the virus takes 2-4 days to show up on tests. This has been known since the early days of testing. That’s why you ISOLATE before the test and while you are waiting for the tests. These idiots got the test too early, then went about running around, getting their nails done, working some, partying.
Then they got tested after the four days, still ran around, still had the restaurants open, instead of closing down and quarantining, then after the second tests came back positive, did they close all the restaurants, this as one of the group got very I’ll.

Many have said you didn’t isolate during the first test and that the restaurants didn’t close while your family waited for the first test.
I drive past Zucs everyday on the way to work, it wasn’t closed until very recently.
So you got a negative test, then what? Why did you get a second test? Where did you get that test? What was the date? What did you tell them to get that test? When did you get your positive test back, what was the date?

It is worth mentioning that indoor dining has been open in Massachusetts since June 22. Over four months of people eating indoors without a notable rise in cases.

Gyms have been open since July 6. Again over four months of successful suppression through preventive measures.

Day cares have been open since June 8 and not one cluster of infections reported statewide. Serious illness and even death among people under 18 is just about nonexistent.

Everything was fine until it wasn’t.

If the things we have been doing all along – masks, distancing, sanitizing are actually effective at stopping the spread, shutting everything down when cases pop up isn’t necessary. It is up to infected and exposed people to quarantine and limit the potential for contact with others.

Re: Open letter to Smitty Pignatelli – 13November2020

Hello Honorable Lenox State Representative Smitty Pignatelli,

I wish to congratulate you and your corrupt state House legislative colleagues for finally voting for a state budget that is 4 months and 13 days late, and counting. I wonder what budgetary and policy issues were debated behind closed doors. I also wonder how you supported increasing state government spending by 5.3% when Beacon Hill is dealing with an estimated $3.6 billion budget deficit. Does 2 + 2 = 5, Smitty? On the issue of abortion, should it be attached to the state budget as an amendment without any public input and/or public hearings? I do not believe that state Legislators should be able to pass major laws via budget riders. I believe you and your corrupt legislative colleagues on Beacon Hill are taking a cowardly way out so as to not having to hear from and/or answer to the people you supposedly represent. If you believe in abortion, Smitty, then you should take a public stand for abortion as state law in Massachusetts. Why did you vote for a state budget that delays charitable tax cuts, while Governor Baker waited until well after this past Summer and on the onset of freezing cold nights to end the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures, Smitty? Over one million displaced working residents of Massachusetts have lost their jobs and health insurance during the 2020 economic recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Smitty. Shouldn’t you be encouraging charitable giving during these toughest of times, Smitty? What about the 40% legislative pay raise you voted for yourself that cost taxpayers over $18 million back in early-2017, Smitty? Is it fair that you fattened your own wallet, while the people you supposedly represent are falling behind, Smitty? Lastly, you, Smitty, have a college degree in Finance and you once worked at a bank in Lee (Mass.). Is the state budget you just voted for nothing more than a financial shell game, Smitty?

In Truth!

Is this why Trump fired Sec of Defense Esper a few days ago?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/us-raid-software-company-scytl-seize-servers-germany-intel-source-says-yes-happened/

Tonight we heard more from our source on this raid in Germany.

From our source: The US government, once they determined that this Dominion server was involved in switching votes, then the intelligence community began a search for the server and discovered that the server was in Germany. In order to get access to that server and have it available for use in a legal manner they had to have the State Department work in tandem with the Department of Justice. They had to request that the government of Germany cooperate in allowing this seizure of this server.

The appropriate documents required to affect that kind of seizure were put in place, signed off on, and it appears there was also US military support in this operation. The US military was not in the lead. But this helps explain why Esper was fired and Miller and Kash Patel were put in place — so that the military would not interfere with the operation in any way.

By getting ahold of the server they now are going to have the direct evidence of when they were instructed to stop counting. They will also discover who gave the direction to stop counting and who initiated the algorithm that started switching votes. The CIA was completely excluded from this operation.

That’s the way it appears, at least, from the scores of fundraising emails his campaign has sent out since the election. He seems to be asking for funds to challenge the election, but the fine print shows that the money could let him line his own coffers.

Our illustrious Councilor At Large Yuki has not spoken since the day she got elected. Has done absolutely nothing to represent the taxpayers. We all know that she was elected to be a Linda Puppet and doing her job as told just like Marchetti, White, Persip, Kavey, Maffuccio and Caccamo, they all need to grow a set and man up and represent the taxpayers, not the Mayor. At Tuesday’s meeting Yuki finally shows that she can talk only to give free advertising to her now famous Covid super spreader bar. Wow, could you imagine the uproar if Melissa had put a plug in for Mazzeos when she was in office. She would have been hung in Park Square. Useless City Council causing Pittsfield to go even further into the gutter. Welcome to Tyerville and keep paying your taxes so Linda has more money to give her clique.

Kamala Harris saying that big government will make some people more equal than others because they have suffered longer and need more of a leg up. So nice that big government will decide what is fair and not fair. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me.

Obama saying anyone who voted for Trump is racist except that many who voted for Obama went on to vote for Trump so that makes Obama’s theory sound so ignorant. Michelle Obama thinks she is invisible despite lots of success and popularity, but it’s because she is African American supposedly. Both Michelle and Barack see themselves as victims.

People people people! Can’t we all get along?!?
There’s enough blame for everyone, especially those we don’t like!

None of this is Yuki’s fault, she couldn’t help herself. She had an itch that only Trevor or whomever could scratch! We all know how that is. Plus it was Brooke’s 21 birthday, she needed a little fun with family and friends.
Now I will say when Yuki was quoted as saying she planned on opening by the end of the week, it made use a little nervous. So being the right and proper do nothings we are, and not wanting to tell Yuki she couldn’t open, we closed down EVERYONE! That’s fair right?

The most exciting part for me was we got to blame meany Melissa Mazzeo!!! Yay for us!

Maybe bigger more sophisticated cities would have a restaurant plan in place. Something that says if staff has covid, you close until you clean and employees test negative. It seems like a good idea not punish the innocent but I don’t know and really I don’t care. Maybe if Zucchini’s and Roasted Garlic did that they could have helped limit the spread, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. I don’t know I’m just excited that we closed down Mazzeo’s, that’s all I really care about!
Don’t worry we have parting gifts for out friends. For the paper it says $5k but it will be more. Yuki knows she doesn’t even have to put in an application. I have her cash right here.

While I am unable to help you with the lobe thingy you might be happy to know that they have made great headway with lung replacements. A rural doctor friend of mine in Oki, Oklahoma has done several lung replacements using Zip Lock bags and a zip ties. The good news is that with a little practice you can do this at home using basic silverware as removal and replacement tools. As someone who has long suffered from malignant mesothelioma I am thinking of doing this procedure on myself during the halftime of todays Patriots game.
And just to make the experience seem more authentic I am going to send myself a bill for $150,000 and argue with myself to get the price down.
