NY currently has the highest rate of Covid infections per 100k people despite having one of the strictest mask requirements in the country. Florida has been completely open for months and New York has beaten them in # of infections that entire time period. It doesn't make sense to me, that's just the data.

Lots of grass showing up in spots where the sun hits, but still have a few inches on the ground. Boston still with 18". Tomorrow will mark 70 straight days of at least 1" on the ground here, way above normal here.

This week will likely be slightly below normal. Next week above normal. There are hints during 3rd week of March with a pattern change to colder weather, that might be our last shot at a storm.

Yeah, I don't think it will last as long as normal though. Most of the ice is gone already. We should have a normal spring.

Looks like high peaks region picked up 6" of snow overnight. Looking good for you @rochesterdave

I got tickets to Bills season opener. If fans are allowed as well as tailgaiting, it will be the most epic party of all time. I CANNOT WAIT.

Yeah its all NYC https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/new-york/

My state has the highest number of cases per 100,000 people in the entire country right now. I would also state we have one of the strictest mask mandates anywhere in the country.

I agree. I was thinking around May/June to start lifting orders.

Texas is lifting all mask mandates and fully reopening on March 10th. North Dakota, Montana and Iowa have also lifted mask orders in recent weeks. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/texas-biggest-us-state-lift-covid-19-mask-76208428

North Dakota is on that least as well, any other states?

Western New Yorks 7 day average positivity rate is down to 1.84%.

I'm not sure about Rochester but we just had a week of 40s-50s here in Buffalo.

That's right I was confusing deaths with cases.

Western New Yorks 7 day average positivity rate is down to 1.84%.

I think this is true. If I have a tickle in my throat and a cough will I go get tested, most likely not.

Tuesday has the data dump for the weekend as some states don't report.
