Anaplasmosis in Dogs and Humans

I posted the information a couple months ago and since then we have found a total of 6 positive dogs on Beaver Island with Anaplasmosis. This means that the Anaplasma marginale organism is present in the Deer Ticks that we have on the island. As indicated in the free press article link this is a gro...

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

Dr Fauci's predicitons have been correct 38% of the time. Keep listening to him Ken, he hasnt practiced clinically in decades, as the California doctors pointed out months ago and who have been proven correct by the antibody studies, although they were blasted by the liberal media at the time and ce...

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

The data simply indicate that decision makers everywhere need to fairly soon get a new thought process started regarding what we do or don't do simply based on covid. As for the governor more and more communities are adding fireworks so others are interpreting rules differently that is obvious. East...

New Studies that indicate the virus is way more widespread than reported are listed here. Of those positive in North Carolina only 0.4% were previously reported as positive and the vast majority of newly detected cases report either no symptoms or extremely mild symptoms. https://news.psu.edu/story/...

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

Right on Steve! I talked today to a Fireworks Wholesaler, their sales are up over 500%! So there will likely be fireworks blasting off all over the island just without any “governmental oversight” I hear a rumor that their will also be a large private fireworks show that will rival previous shows :D

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

Time will tell.... most who came to watch the fireworks only were usually “socially distancing” anyway before it became a key “societal behavioral benchmark”

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

Fish camp makes perhaps the most important comment in this whole thread. On a place like Beaver Island where there are limited activities to engage in and you cancel two outdoor events such as fireworks observation which takes perhaps 45 minutes and is one of the easiest events to socially distance ...

Re: FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS TO BE CANCELLED

I was at MacKinac’s fireworks last year, it was practically socially distanced then, as Beavers is basically every year. It is really not a big leap to apply social distancing measures to ANY Beaver Island event, you’re all just not getting enough mainland exposure to understand what the rest of the...

Re: Beaver Island Music Festival

I think anyone who has been an outspoken critic of the festival occurring shouldn’t be telling others what to do. Also there was an apparent threat letter(s) sent. Hopefully the information and the source(s) should be disclosed. Whoever threatened the Festival should explain the logic including the ...
