Folks in Boston and MA — what are the predictions for fall re covid? Are people thinking it’ll be a steep increase in cases? Trying to gauge whether to move down there for school mid fall I’d be virtual for now

The predictions are that no one has any idea. Cases have gone up slightly in August, but no 2nd wave yet.

The sky isn’t falling yet. I suspect we’ll see a spike in September with college kids and younger going back to school. Severity? TBD.

It’s changing week by week, but MA is on the conservative side for Covid safety, so there is hope.

If you can stay remote / virtual, I’d personally recommend staying away, at LEAST through September. Cases will probably spike everywhere when kids go back to school, and Boston will likely have it worse because it’s such a big college town. Also, you’re probably better off avoiding the Sept 1 move-in craziness. It’s terrible even without a pandemic. Just my 2 cents!

Good advice! Will do as you suggest :)

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.
