That's very subjective. I suspect you're in the minority, given how many people I regularly see out in the city parks or beaches in this weather over the years. Everything is always packed. :thumbup:

Oh it's amazing beach weather if you have the time to go every single day. But I have talked to many people who got tired of it after a while. My situation is a little different, I live on a farm and try to do some outdoor work every day but it sucks in the hot sunshine.

But still I've talked to so many people who prefer the classic 22 C and partly cloudy that this region used to deliver more regularly.

Seldom go to beach but often go to the local parks in the summer to play some sports with a few friends though. The heat is manageable until it gets over ~32c, imo.

Since you're working outside I'd recommend wearing a white hat or tieing a white handkerchief across your head and handy access to a cold/damp towel... that always helped me working outdoors in 30c+ weather. Obviously you can't get around sweating though.

I looked up the lambda variant...it might be more vaccine resistant but I don't see it exploding anywhere and it's been around since at least November. Trust me I have a thousand things about this world that freak me out but covid is about to become a seasonal illness like the flu. It still sucks but it's not 2020 all over again IMO.

CNN is definitely not the best source. Everything is "breaking news!!". It's a billion times better than fox at least.

I am actually curious what news sources people trust. The guardian IMO is good, BBC maybe.

But watch tomorrow when our 3 day total is released, people will go absolutely bananas when it shows over 1,500 cases. :roll:
But l think l understand what your saying Kells it doesn't teally matter the case count its hospitalizations if it stays low it means cases aren't severe enough to fill our hospitals.
A much different scenario than 6 months ago before vaccinated % went up.
