This makes me cry... “Never in my life have I had to ask a patient to get off the telephone because it was time to put in a breathing tube,” said Dr. Richard Levitan, who recently spent 10 days at Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan.

What is nutty is this idea that we are going to somehow "contact trace" the flu.. here is your contact trace result.. EVERYONE HAS IT.. period the end.. its over. Stop killing people with ventilators.

When I was exercising yesterday.. I couldnt stop thinking about how the death rate has changed so drastically since the early days in NYC... it really boggles my mind.. was it a different COVID? probably not... https://academy.esicm.org/mod/emodulepage/view.php?id=7979 https://www.dentaquestpartnership.org/system/files/The Link Between Ventilator Pneumonia and the Mouth.pdf https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04372576 And my personal favorite is the ensuing class action lawsuit: https://www.gilmanbedigian.com/ventilator-associated-pneumonia

Thank you Supreme Court for maintaining our constitution.

lol.. contact tracing.. you do realize that everyone in world has come in contact with you within only a few degrees of separation?

yup.. and all the major models have shortwaves riding through at in the 6-10 day window.. someone is gonna see their first flakes around the 5th.

and here is the low pressure...

I am going to post this here instead of digital snow.. I know it is the 240 hour euro .. but it is a good pattern.. and we need a distraction..

Did that Low give us any snow? It looked promising on TTs

WOW the corona virus is a cash cow.. I think they are expediting the vaccines because they are scared people will get bored and it will just go away.. I am also thinking the majority of people in the northeast have already been inoculated.. so they gotta do a big push for testing and vaccine to squeeze out a couple trillion more dollars on this one.. you know.. get when the gettins still good

Why would we expect anything different.. the corona virus made its way through the northeast in the spring.. If you want you can pay to have more PCR cycles run on those test.. you can get more positives that way.. if you really want to.. thats what they did in some labs in Washington DC area

you should watch the videos here: https://gbdeclaration.org/video/ They really tell the truth there.. the best part is where the Phd from Oxford says that we should be "thanking" the college kids for going to bars and frat parties.. they are doing the work of mother nature.. instead we witch hunting them on social media... it really is a sad state of affairs

LOL!!! its called the "Upstate NY Coronavirus and Banter" thread.. I would post in my subforum but they will just censor me down there...

Seems to me like the NAO is forecasted to at least be "heading" in the right direction in the short term!

In December, I have 3 weeks of Vacation to burn... I have flexibility to take it whenever I want (given sufficient notice and within reason). The kids can do their classes from their iPhones and laptops via hotspot. This means that where ever it snows.. whenever it snows... we are going. My wife wont get on a plane.. and I can respect that.. but anything within a 400 mile radius is fair game for a road trip...

I read this story from WSJ that said after the debacle in Northern Italy, many European Doctors were warning against the over use of ventilators and were recommending supplemental oxygen as the first line of defense.. but hospital protocols in NYC discouraged use of noninvasive oxygen therapy because of fear that this would aerate the virus causing it to spread within the hospitals. Furthermore ventilators and the associated induced coma would almost always lead to renal failure and require dialysis.. but hospitals werent equipped to handle the surge and many died waiting for treatment for kidney failure that they never actually needed to have. Today, Doctors are reluctant to use ventilators and often see these as "last resort" treatments. I saw a number that 90% of the people put in comas over the age of 70 in NYC never woke up. I cant believe this hasn't been brought to light.. that it is not news.

Why was the fatality rate 10 times higher in the first few weeks in New York as compared to other major metropolitan areas like Miami (where they actually a larger outbreak)

The number of death that can be attributed to weed annually is debatable. Some people say it is zero.. probably not correct. but by the sheer fact that someone can make that claim means that alcohol is many many many times more lethal than weed

https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sheets/alcohol-facts-and-statistics#:~:text=Alcohol-Related Deaths%3A,poor diet and physical inactivity. Alcohol-Related Deaths: An estimated 88,0005 people (approximately 62,000 men and 26,000 women5) die from alcohol-related causes annually, making alcohol the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity.6

When I was a kid I was arrested several times for possession and I was a huge advocate of legalized weed.. I was basically a conscientious objector. Looking back on this period, I really wish I was not exposed to it at such young age. I can say from first hand experience that for anyone who has a propensity to addiction, legalized marijuana provides a means to an end.

fun times...

my tradition is to open the sun roof and windows and drive with the kids on first flakes! This usually seem to always be around halloween - november 15th

If last night's GFS verified i would chase.. the 318 hour frame is just silly

Definitely not a first. Nova Scotia actually has several historic events Tropical/ Snow events.. Sandy too

We just need the 500mb to pass about 75 miles a little further south
