    https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/10/20/925441975/studies-point-to-big-drop-in-covid-19-death-rates Not perfect, but definitely an improvement.

    dta1984 and Hoosier said more or less the same thing. dta1974 gets two weenie tags, the same two people like Hoosier's post.

    MDHHS issued basically the same thing as Gov. Whitmer had in place. Nothing has changed other than where the source of the mandate is coming from. There are even penalties associated with the MDHHS order. The governor and legislature are even working together now to pass laws. I know that you don't like that but that is the way it is supposed to work.

    ALEK - why is anyone getting this laugh worthy?

    But even the places that didn’t fully open up are seeing increases also. Even the places with full on mask requirements are seeing upticks a la Europe. This isn’t going away soon as much as we all wish it would.

    Do you guys want Trump dead? I don't wish anyone to die from this but all I see here is the writing is on the wall, RIP, etc.... Come on guys show some respect and a little decent humanity here.

    Any proof to back that up? That is a fairly bold claim there without firsthand knowledge. Lots of conjecture out there but not a lot of information.

    Give them a chance to see what they do before putting the down and declaring the incompetent.

    Go listen to the representative from the 101st. A republican who is t saying let’s go wild. He has repeatedly said that if the governor was willing they would work together to out common sense restrictions in place. The problem is the state legislature was completely ignored. There is a reason there is separation of powers. COVID isn’t something to ignore but let the government function and let the governor veto laws if she doesn’t like them that is how it is supposed to work.

    I am in favor of more than one branch of government running my state. Unilateral powers aren’t good. Let’s work together and implement reasonable laws for our state. One persons rule is not how our country or state functions.

    Almost looks like Owl Head outside of Lake Placid but not sure. Where were you?

    Nationwide daily deaths are down and have been under 1000 by a significant amount recently. Haven't seen any talk about that but there sure was a lot of complaining when it was hovering around or above 1000.

    Similar things going on around here. the state run university on our county is responsible for most of the new cases. I wonder how many of them are requiring treatment beyond stay at home and wait it out? I guess this is a good thing that most of the cases aren't serious but is it cause for alarm? Maybe, especially if it spreads in the community. I haven't seen any statistics on college ages kids in Michigan and how many are in the hospital vs how many have COVID.

    This is an interesting take on what is happening. https://reason.com/2020/09/11/the-covid-19-pandemic-keeps-proving-deadly-to-liberty/

    I am not an anti-masker so don't go off on that but is this a case where correlation does not imply causation? Is it the natural cycle of ramp up peak and then go down or is it due to mask wearing? I don't know but you state this as fact. I'd be curious how much is attributable to each source.

    I am right there with you. A rogue shower gave me 0.18" this morning but nothing else. Look at GRR accumulated precip on their radar page and you will see the SE part of Ottawa county was pretty much whiffed liked you.

    Get ready to watch a lot of the yellows and oranges disappear this week with Laura's remnants.

    This is into September, but the 6Z GFS is bringing to 0°F 850 line into the region. Won't happen, but a sign of things to come.

    Pretty tame over here. Peak wind gust at my house was 33MPH. Would have loved to see the higher numbers, but I can do without the loss of power so I guess I am glad that we missed it.
  22. WestMichigan
    Sure is heading that way. Interesting to see if it continues or not.

    GRR didn't even crack the top 10 for July.

    With all of the unempolyment benefits talk on here yesterday I saw this earlier today. "the University of Chicago estimated that 68% of those receiving benefits were getting paid more than what they made before with the median payment 34% higher than their previous weekly paycheck". https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jobless-claims-week-ending-july-25-123150219.html

    You could say the same for the states. Everyone is quick to blame the feds, but if they are so bad why don't the individual states go their own way and get it right? Take a little personal responsibility. It is always easier to blame someone else when things go wrong and take credit when they go right.
