Alton Increase
The cases in Alton have more that doubled the last 9 days There were 8 total cases for the longest time and has jumped to 17 since last Saturday. Anyone know if this is an isolated area or location (school, specific business, sport field etc) or is this being passed around town ?

I think I did hear on WMUR that Alton school had cases.

More testing is an indecorous assumption.
The cases in all of New Hampshire have spiked. We are now into the middle of October. Schools have been open for awhile now - the ones that actually opened. Some opened schools have had to close because of a spike in cases. The cases in New Hampshire have spiked. |

As best I know, there are no cases of in-school transmission in New England but there are many from out-of-school contact through sports and activities, parties and gatherings, etc. Having been in-person for a month now, I'm confident that if schools are affected negatively it will be because of what's happening outside the buildings not inside (assuming the school is doing the right thing).

Essentially, this process has been exponentially more difficult because of decades of issues with education funding. Sent from my SM-G950U using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

It’s very difficult to teach certain subjects remotely and for many kids there are too many distractions at home to concentrate then add the social aspect. Ugh Thank you for what you do for our kids!! Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

The real losers this year are those from lower-income families because they're stuck in an impossible system: many are unable to work from home and can't afford daycare, so they're getting hammered. Add that, statistically, they live in areas with higher transmission rates, and that remote access and access to technology will be more difficult, and students from places like Lowell, Lawrence, Boston, Chelsea, Everett, etc. (I don't know enough of current NH towns to discuss, but I would guess Laconia, Manchester, etc.) are infinitely more disadvantaged than from higher-income areas. we'll start to see a more cohesive strategy to keep the numbers down and better treatments/a vaccine sooner than later.

With the local electric utility, the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, going forward with providing internet service along with their electric power, seems like a big improvement for this NH-State.
New Hampshire internet service ...... you may now take one giant NHEC step forward! ....

Yes, there are affluent, rural communities with sketchy internet that will not support solid remote learning. Moultonborough area is an example. |

At Hannaford and Market Basket the same milk goes for 1.99, and they do not sell a table saw. No matter how you cut it, Walmart has a lot to offer! Since this is a thread on Covid-19, is also noteworthy that only the local Walmart has a Walmart employee permanently stationed at the entrance to enforce the "wear a mask" requirement, while Hannaford and Market Basket have only "wear a mask" signs at the entrance. A students ability to learn via a zoom classroom verses a traditional classroom with a teacher in the room is a lot dependent on the individual student's motivation and ability to concentrate and comprehend. For my money, my school property taxes, the traditional classroom beats the pants off the zoom classroom, every day of the week, and twice on Saturdays ...... like, what's up with this zoom classroom channel ...... gimme that Tennis Channel!

I buy a lot of auto maintenance items from them, and it's either name brand or their own brand, and their own brand is just fine. For example I have used their store brand oil and antifreeze for over a decade without any issues. I see zero basis for anyone to claim their items are "overpriced." A capitalist success story, just like Amazon. Keep up or get out of the way.

Inter-Lakes cancels competitive sports games
October 26, 6:45-pm: WMUR-9; http://www.wmur.com/article/inter-la...ports/34486210 ... Inter-Lakes parents upset with decision to end fall sports
To stop the spread of Covid-19, SAU-2 Inter-Lakes School District located in Meredith has cancelled out all sport games like cross-country, lacrosse, football, and volleyball effective on October 31 or sooner because the teams travel around the state to play other schools. Not wanting to catch the virus down in Merrimack or somewhere and bring it back, all games have been cancelled. Well ...... if you cannot play football or volleyball or lacrosse of cross-country ..... there's always individual hula hooping in your home driveway or somewhere with a four to six pound, weighted hula hoop from Health Hoops, the Korean fat burning hula hoop that grinds off that fat and builds mid-body core strength. Health Hoops-Korean hula...... you gotta try that heavy six-lb knobby hula hoop from Hell! .... ..... with the knobs on the inside ..... and think about team sports returning back to normal like in January, 2021 ...... hopefully. 43-year old quarterback Tom Brady uses a Health Hoops six-lb knobby hula hoop just for the fun of it.
