This was the entire point of my so-called "baiting". Thank you for explicitly stating it. Wear a mask. Normalize it until this is over. edit to add that opening the entire economy up now is obviously ill-advised after the recent surge in cases.

Unabridged capitalism and our modern “need” for immediacy will obviously not work with everything going on. There may be some happy medium between short-sighted open-everything-now and careful, long-term planning to get us through all this, but we can’t just assume a vaccine that doesn’t exist yet or herd immunity are going to work. There’s a shit ton we still don’t know about it. I’d loooove to know how many of the people in favor of letting old folks die consider themselves pro-life.

This thread about how masks prevent droplets from escaping during speech is wonderful. It's all hard science, easy to follow and not anecdotal. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1274036544387477504.html

yes, they absolutely are.

IL requires them in public spaces when you can’t social distance, so maybe that’s why? Most airlines are requiring them on the plane, but not sure how that works in airports since they’re a mix of federal, state/local and private property.

There is literally no point in arguing with pig-headed science deniers. Let them live their fearless, ignorant lives.

beavis for prez.

Friday looks interesting. Strongest 700-500mb flow is across WI and lower MI. Lapse rates are on the meh side, but instability is more than sufficient for severe given the progged shear. This should result in some bowing segments ahead of the front.

new cells blowing up quickly on the outflow boundary from that first round. warning for northern Cook...looks like some hail in that too.
-
Not 100% sure what you mean. I can't say for sure, but I imagine the 50+ crowd is taking more precautions. Hopefully with their children and grandchildren, too.
-
exactly...keep those cases up through summer, and wave two will be so much more widespread come fall. i would imagine (and hope) we'll see more mask requirements at the state level in the short term.

looks like a decent chance of storms around here by midday or early afternoon. nice 700mb wave coming in with ample sun ahead of it. drier dews could allow for some pulse type, outflow-dominant activity. the lucky ones will probably see 2-3 rounds today according to most of the latest hi-res.

Nailed it. July 4th and the 1-2 weeks after should be interesting given tomorrow’s Tulsa experiment.

But it doesn’t according to at least one state epidemiologist. “Early on, South Carolina took the essential steps needed to flatten the curve,” Alberg said. “The problem has been re-opening too soon, which has led to a very large upsurge in COVID-19 cases that cannot be accounted for solely due to the increased testing for active SARS-CoV-2 infections.“ https://www.thedailybeast.com/is-south-carolina-already-on-a-second-wave-of-covid-19?ref=scroll

Probably a little too soon to be blaming protests. Wouldn't see anything from that until later this week or early next. Other states that opened early are also seeing spikes, though Georgia is somewhat perplexing.

Agree a slight risk upgrade would've been reasonable given an enhanced risk ceiling across a small corridor. I like the overlay of shear and instability across northern and possibly central IL. Chicago is likely in play too given early AM fog will clear quickly.

Crowded bars immediately after the ruling - only in WI. That partisan state Supreme Court has always been a hot mess. https://wkow.com/2020/05/14/crowded-bars-seen-across-wisconsin-after-safer-at-home-extension-struck-down/

Anxious to see updates for the past week. Many of the areas relaxing the rules now, I imagine, are in for a rude awakening. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/04/29/covid-19-is-expanding-further-into-trump-country/

Because it started in the larger cities where people were traveling globally more often. It's fairly obvious the spread was efficient in areas with public transportation. Cut the N vs S bs. The civil war ended ages ago, and I think we all know who won.

WI and SC are neck and neck in terms of cases per 100,000 people. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109004/coronavirus-covid19-cases-rate-us-americans-by-state/
