Who gives a &$%# about China right now. This isn't race for Pete's sake, it's rent, mortgage, food on the table for people that are out of work not by their actions or choosing.
In all honesty, I really like where our sub sits right now. Last year it was proged to be a bad winter leading to disappointment after disappointment. Now, if anything occurs, it will be delightful. Just my opinion.
This thinking is the very issue. Their "Eating what they sow" will cause hospitals to fill affect and affect those rule followers that get in a car accident or have a child with appendicitis, that now can't get life saving treatment. It's like a Chess game and you have to be many moves ahead to have a chance.
We are a bunch of weather nerds who understand the difficulty of predicting the weather....Human behavior is way easier to predict with much easier Math and Physics. New York is in trouble....
Since this is a weather forum, Mr. Moderator, I have sleepless nights due to dry slot fears with just about every Snowstorm, LOL. NW Ohio is notorious for the nefarious Dry Slot.
Wait, were you referring to politics??
Weird. Here in Toledo I'd say it's like 1% that doesn't were a mask. Actually, I was in Kroger just today and didn't see a single person without a mask. We have very different Governors though. DeWine has actually had a great balance.
I feel that mortality rates are highly dependent on many variables, one being viral load. Viral load due to the Summer environment(High UV and RH) made for lots of mild symptom/asymptomatic cases. That is gonna change with this wave, in my opinion.
Just remember that the current death numbers are from people that got sick a month ago when our numbers were around 40K a day. At 80K+ now, we'll see the affects of that around Thanksgiving. Hope this is wrong, but 2-3K a day is the consequence of what's happening now.
