This executive order does not apply to private companies, though as I recall, AZ is one of a few states considering regulating that as well. Ironic that some people are adamantly against telling private businesses what to do unless it’s convenient for them.
-
Also the people running the company I work for are pretty far to the right (I overheard them talking about stuff bordering on QAnon at least once a month before we switched to work from home), so I wouldn’t want them to happen upon me laying into some anti-vaxxer or anti-masker on Facebook while using my real name.

Facebook is a ****ing cesspool and Twitter isn’t much better, though the wife doesn’t have a Twitter account so I can at least argue with people on there without getting judgment from her when it inevitably gets blasted into her newsfeed like it does on Facebook.
-
Firms up the prevailing wisdom of a non-event outside of the BFE area of Ohio.
-
It’s going to be an uphill climb when everyone knows a crazy Aunt Susan or their mom’s next door neighbor or their chiropractor’s secretary who won’t get vaccinated because of some gobbledygook they read on social media about microchips or something.
-
Exactly. For a lot (maybe a majority, maybe not) of people with vaccine hesitancy, said hesitancy isn’t guided by anything resembling science.

Euro ticked SE on 12z run.

I firmly believe Jim Jordan’s goal there was simply to pick a fight. I say this because, in my opinion, even if Fauci gave him a technical answer, there’s no way he would have understood it.
-
Why not? I’m sure someone will find a way to get this thread locked between now and then.
-
I didn’t experience the 4/24/05 storm firsthand because I didn’t live in the affected area, but it might be the winner in my opinion when it comes to storms that occurred this late or later (besides MAYBE the May 27-29, 1947 WI/MN/IA snowstorm, but I can’t imagine there’s anyone on this forum that can attest firsthand to what happened during that storm).
-
I don’t know the climatology for NW Ohio particularly well, but I would venture to guess that even 2-3” of slop in those areas in the 20s of April is incredibly rare. The 4/14/19 storm is indeed impressive, but every week you add in spring makes multi-inch snowfalls anywhere in this region exponentially more impressive. The difference between getting accumulating snow on 4/14 vs. 4/21 is simply not the same as the difference between getting accumulating snow on 2/14 vs. 2/21 or even 3/14 vs. 3/21.
-
That’s definitely exaggeration. Sure, it’s more exciting when Chicago or Detroit or Pittsburgh gets the jackpot than when it’s in BFE places like Lima, OH, but 5+ inches anywhere non-mountainous in late April isn’t a non-event.
-
What, you mean posting the Kuchera maps in January and the 10:1 maps in April isn’t the way to go?
-
I guess we’ll let Ohio have another one. All they have going for them is college football and snowstorm jackpots.
-
We know the easiest way to prevent this thing from continuing to potentially mutate into variants that are vaccine-resistant, if people would just do that.
-
The question for the way upper Ohio Valley (NWS PBZ’s domain) would be, can the GFS be dismissed as total garbage? NWS PBZ seems to say yes based on their point and click.
-
Again, probably true, but I think he’s saying of all 85+ year olds, 0.86% have gotten covid and been hospitalized for it.
-
I don’t always agree with @schoeppeya but I at least know he tries to argue in good faith and give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to figure out what he’s talking about.
-
I honestly have no idea, but I’m sure it’s in the single digits for the population as a whole. The mere idea that anyone would think it’s over 50% is ludicrous and terrifying to me.
-
Oh, I think I know what he means now. He means 0.86% of all 85+ year olds have been hospitalized with covid, regardless of whether or not they had covid. Which I believe, though it’s also largely immaterial.
-
Less than a percent hospitalization rate for 85+? I’m curious where you saw that.
-
Deleted my post because I don’t want another knock down drag out about unrelated political issues like we had in here the other night, but suffice to say both sides of the media sell “panic porn and fear” about various issues and instill irrational fears into people, and if I remember correctly from reading about that poll, Republicans grossly underestimated the hospitalization rate. So it goes both ways.
-
Unusual vs. historic. Return intervals. Essentially what I’m saying is a lot of people want to see a once in a generation/lifetime/recorded history event, as opposed to something that is unusual compared to climate normals but occurs fairly regularly.

Everything is shifting SE...

Western PA/Pittsburgh Spring Discussion 2021
TimB replied to Ahoff's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Any more SE shifts in this week’s models and the summer fans won’t be happy...
