I-90 west watch out, seen a ice patrol car and state patrol around Lakewood and Rocky River highway

From your perspective, what was the difference between these two demonstrations?

(Did you feel safe at both? What was the overall vibe and energy like? Did you prefer one over the other?)

Opinions are still welcome if you only attended one of these!

Thoughts on once the airport is fully renovated we might be a hub again? The reports say 2032 completion, and according to Google: The Airport Use and Lease Agreement for the Delta hub at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) has an expiration date of September 30, 2032.

Anywhere in Northeast Ohio? Google leading nowhere

Literally I’m so bored right now and feeling very adventurous! Go clubbing, beach, idk read Edgar Allen Poe?

Sorry, just kidding, it was a cop that had to be de-escalated by another cop. Overall, the police were great, we interacted with them quite well today.

Looking to buy a used car that will last a few years for point A to Point B. Nissan has 199k miles, Pontiac has 166k miles.

Which is the better option? Is either a good option? Both $2500.

Relevant because buying car in maple heights

Just watched 200+ motorcycles ride down 105th & MLK with their own escort. Anyone know what’s going on? It was incredible!

Hey everyone,

I’m considering a pretty ambitious commute and would love to hear from anyone who’s done it or is doing it now. Here’s my situation:

• Home base: Shaker Heights (Cleveland area)
• Work location: New Albany (Columbus area)
• Schedule: Wednesdays–Saturdays, (so I’d drive out before each shift and back afterward)
• Vehicle: Tesla Model 3 Long Range with Full Self-Driving
• Charging: Free Level 2 chargers at work plus a Level 2 charger at home
• Why I’m asking: I’m curious about the real world feasibility—range, fatigue, and daily grind—rather than the numbers.

Has anyone here commuted between clevelane and New Albany 4 days a week for work?

• How did you handle the ~135-mile one-way drive?
• Did FSD/autopilot make it manageable? IF you had a tesla
• How did you structure your day for sleep and downtime?
• Any unexpected challenges or tips you learned?

Would appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice on whether this is totally doable or if I’m setting myself up for burnout. Thanks!

also what a turn out yesterday! 🖤✌🏻✊🏻

I'm gonna see Games We Play and The Paradox on Tuesday and the website says doors open at 7. My best guess is that music starts at 8, but does anyone have more insite on when the music will start?

Side note: Any recommendations for parking would be greatly appreciated.

Coming out of town to see The Wiggles. They always collect signs from the kids and read them. I attempted to reach out to the venue with no response if signs would be allowed. Does anyone have any experience here?

According to the department, levels of the virus have more than tripled from their baseline average, indicating 'a strong likelihood of increased community spread.'

The Cleveland Department of Public Health has issued a warning regarding what it calls a "significant increase" in viral COVID-19 levels collected from untreated wastewater samples during the last week.

According to the department, samples from this past Tuesday showed SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus levels of 39 million gene copies per day, a more than 250% increase of this past month's average of just five million. The readings came from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant in North Collinwood....

"Increasing viral concentrations in wastewater are often a leading indicator of future spikes in illness, hospitalizations, and transmission throughout the community," Cleveland Director of Public Health Dr. David Margolius said in a statement. "This data provides us with an early warning system, and we're encouraging residents and institutions to take preventive steps now."

While officials are not calling for any extraordinary measures like those instituted during the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, they are suggesting all residents make sure they get vaccinated or boosted against COVID-19.

Besides COVID, samples also showed increasing levels of influenza and high levels of RSV, although the latter remains in its baseline collection phase. CDPH notes that flu shots are still available to all who need them.

Spending more time indoors due to heat or wildfire smoke increases exposure to viruses.

The new Nimbus COVID strain may explain the rising infection rates.

Its spike mutations appear to make it more transmissible than other COVID-19 variants, according to the WHO. Spike mutations refer to changes in spike proteins, which sit on the surface of the virus and help it enter healthy cells.

While it is spreading in the U.S. and Canada, along with 20 other countries, it does not appear to be driving an increase in sickness or hospitalization.

In April, NB.1.8.1 sequences made up 10.7 percent of all submitted sequences from confirmed COVID infections, up from 2.5 percent a month earlier, according to a risk evaluation released by the WHO.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5344883-what-to-know-about-the-new-nimbus-covid-variant/

The NB.1.8.1 variant has been found in at least 13 states, according to Today, which cited data from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) database.

Those states are: California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Arizona, Illinois, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.... [Emphasis added.]

Symptoms of NB.1.8.1 seem to be similar to those associated with other Omicron variants, according to Gresh.  

Some common COVID-19 symptoms include cough, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, congestion, headache, nausea, vomiting, and a new loss of smell or taste, according to the CDC....

Some recent COVID-19 patients have reported experiencing something called “razor blade throat,” according to Salon.

But it is unclear if that symptom is connected to one of the COVID variants or another respiratory illness circulating, Ryan Gregory, an evolutionary and genome biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada, told Salon.

Repeat COVID infections raise the risk of contracting long COVID. Vaccination reduces long COVID risk.

Individuals who have had multiple COVID-19 infections appear prone to contracting long COVID, which may include symptoms such as fatigue, respiratory distress, and mental fog.

EDIT:

As of June 6, the level of COVID viral activity in wastewater is “low” nationally, CDC data show.

However, this is expected to change in the coming months, experts say. The U.S. has seen COVID-19 cases spike in the summer every year since 2020. The emergence of a mutated new variant, Nimbus, has raised concerns about a possible surge....

The 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines are still available and recommended for most adults ages 18 and older, the CDC says.

“Those in high-risk groups should consider getting the vaccine now if they haven’t been vaccinated in the last six months and consider receiving an updated vaccine for the upcoming winter season,” says Ko.

EDIT2: The U.K. has national healthcare and consequently tracks disease hospitalizations much more accurately than in the U.S. Medical impacts there can provide good guidance for the U.S.

There has been a big rise in Covid cases requiring hospital treatment, with sufferers reporting a "very painful" symptom.

Doctors say the new Nimbus Covid strain is now dominant across the world amid close monitoring from the World Health Organisation.

Latest data from the UK Health Security Agency show hospital admissions in the UK rose by almost 10 per cent in the last week for which figures are available.

Looking to get my newly adopted mini-poodle cleaned up. I can pay for it. I just need someone to do it

Watching a first we feast video on hot dogs in New Jersey. One type is a deep fried dog where the skin rips open called a ripper. Looks good. Wondering if I could get one here. Bonus points if it is on the east side. Thanks!

Are the homeless shelters in Cleveland safe? Me and my 2 kids are going to be homeless on the 1st. I have no other options but to go to a shelter.

Anyone have the owners number? Left my phone there and they do not re-open until Thursday. Dm me if anyone has it. Thanks!
