It look like the surge in Michigan is also impacting production at one of Stellantis' assembly plants outside of Detroit. Not only did they fall short of their production goals, but according to a report in Bloomberg, 630 workers either tested positive for COVID-19 or are under quarantine. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/chrysler/2021/04/16/ram-truck-plant-sterling-heights-covid-19-surge-production/7255441002/

lol. Some people just can't help themselves.

It seems Oregon is considering extending its mask mandate and social distancing rules indefinitely, at least inside workplaces: https://www.google.com/amp/s/fox8.com/news/coronavirus/as-mask-mandates-end-in-some-states-oregon-bucks-trend-and-considers-making-them-permanent/amp/

It seems a 21 year old medical student at University of Cincinnati died a day after taking the J&J vaccine. It is currently being investigated, but so far there's been no direct evidence of the vaccine being the cause of death. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fox19.com/2021/04/16/university-cincinnati-students-death-after-jj-vaccine-under-investigation/%3foutputType=amp

LOL!!!

Fauci says U.S. will likely resume use of J&J Covid vaccine with a warning or restriction https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/18/fauci-us-will-likely-resume-use-of-jj-covid-vaccine-with-a-warning.html

12z NAM wasn't nearly as far SE/weak as the 06z run, but definitely shifted away from the amped/NW solution it was showing before.
-
Lools like the NAM might have caved to the GFS. 06z run is notably weaker/SE. We'll see if that's legit or just a fluke.

Yes, that's the one I'm thinking of. But I still could be remembering the track wrong.

I could be remembering things wrong, but I seem to recall the track for that storm this past November being similar to what the models are showing for this system.

Indeed.

If you consider the areas with positive temperature departures on that map "chilly," I'm afraid to know what you would consider "warm."

Par for the course.

Central/Western Medium-Long Range Discussion
Powerball replied to andyhb's topic in Central/Western States
Never. Maybe if we ignore it, it'll go away. -
Agreed. We get it. A healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of contracting COVID and experiecing severe symptoms. But we don't have to keeping hearing it 27 times over again from the same person(s), who in all truthfulness is probably just trying to humblebrag.

After issuing a stay-at-home order last week, it seems officials in Ontario are considering more restrictions as a string of COVID-19 records have been smashed as cited by their chief medical officer. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/covid-19-ontario-sets-record-with-4736-new-cases-field-hospital-being-readied-in-toronto

The conclusion about herd immunity by UCL (that is also being repeated here) based on that data is what's being disputed.
-
First of all, there are notable differences culturally and demographically between countries like the UK and US to suggest what happens there will also happen here. But also, the "data" you're referencing is being hotly disputed by scientists. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/09/ucl-team-claim-covid-19-herd-immunity-achieved-uk-disputed-scientists
-
We can't have it both ways. In this thread, there was at least one complaint about the government not being transparent enough with the general public about vaccine reserch. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ensure everyone has the expectation that the currently recommended 2 doses may not be enough for protection as more research is done, so that people are prepared if that day comes.

There's another article from CNBC this morning where it's reported Dr. Fauci also said Booster shots may be needed. He goes into detail as to why: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/15/dr-fauci-when-we-will-need-booster-shots-for-covid-vaccine-timeline.html

All we know is the CDC has said: 1. Herd immunity will be achieved when a percentage of the *TOTAL* population is fully vaccinated. 2. That percentage is still known. Anything beyond what the CDC has said is conjecture not based on any scientific evidence about this virus.
-
So the bolded is something President Biden will have to clear up with his staff, as he seems to think Pfizer's CEO provides at least some value as a communicator about the vaccine if he invited him to his press conference.
-
I'll stick to the measure scientists at the CDC and FDA are using to evaluate when herd immunity is achieved.
