My friend Heather was in Boston over the weekend and she was puzzled as she saw these all around the city.
She is from Chicago and never saw a fire alarm box before.
Is Boston the only city that has kept them?

Those numbers need some context, like the rise coinciding with the opening of a dozen or so free testing sites around the state, the changes in how pending results are being reported and more testing due to increased travel.
He's either intentionally leaving out this key info or doesn't understand it. Either way, it's reckless.
The number who were killed will rise. There are people missing.I’m not an ammonium nitrate expert but that’s a lot of ammonium nitrate
Can’t believe only 30 dead came from an explosion of that magnitude. I wish the injured the best in their recovery, 3000 is a big number and I’m sure the first responders/nurses/doctors are beyond tired at this point
I heard something like that as well.Idk if this is true, but I spoke to someone in Lebanon and they claimed the government stored it unsafely and forgot about it.
Heard this as well from CNN who was quoting ReutersIdk if this is true, but I spoke to someone in Lebanon and they claimed the government stored it unsafely and forgot about it.
I agree. It may be and probably was an accident but you just cannot let stuff like that happen.The more I think about it, if reports are true, this feels a lot closer to "murder" than "negligence."
Negligence is forgetting to put the trash out. Not "whoopsie, guess we didn't store that extremely flammable substance correctly, sorry!!"
First- it shows positive test rates are going up which wouldn’t happen under the “more testing makes more rona” line of thinking.Those numbers need some context, like the rise coinciding with the opening of a dozen or so free testing sites around the state, the changes in how pending results are being reported and more testing due to increased travel.

Second - this is just the city of Boston not “around the state” so maybe hold off on who’s reckless for leaving out what until we check ourselves...
NnnnnopeBoth of these points were addressed in my post.
Big fan of his - tough lossPete Hamill, the Brooklyn-born bard of the five boroughs and eloquent voice of his beloved hometown as both newspaper columnist and best-selling author, died Wednesday morning. He was 85.
Hamill passed away in New York-Presbyterian/Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was taken after a Saturday fall that fractured his right hip, said his brother and fellow ex-Daily News columnist Denis Hamill. His elder sibling underwent emergency surgery, but his heart and kidneys failed four days later in the intensive care unit, said Denis Hamill.
“The truly great Pete Hamill died this morning,” tweeted Dan Barry, columnist at The New York Times. “Newspaperman, novelist, mentor to so many, citizen of the world. I once wrote that if the pavement of New York City could talk, it would sound like Pete Hamill. Now that city weeps.”

yeah. it sucks. Luckily ours came back on at 4am. I didnt sleep at all because when the wind stopped around 11pm it got so warm and muggy in the room without any AC.98% of my town is without power. I got mom’s generator working but mine is a lost cause. I’ll check in from time to time but it looks like it will be days before power is restored
