Here are the temps for the last week. Definitely warmer in Buffalo then Roc. Not climo though. Buffalo Day H L Age.

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.

Tuesday usually features the highest case load of the week, will be interesting to see if it went down from last week.

Even if we see a leveling off with cases, the only true metric that matters right now is hospitalizations. If we see that number level off then we can take a step back, but until then everything should begin to open up starting in May and into summer. Right now its falling by thousands a day. It has to slow down at the rate its going. https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/us-currently-hospitalized

It's tough to get lake effect in March during the day as the sun is pretty strong. The suns angle right now is equivalent to early October. Lake Eries ice melted quickly.

That was written before J&J got approved too. I just don't see it with the current trajectory. Even without vaccines last summer saw a huge reduction in cases as with most viruses they have a seasonality to them.

There is our synoptic storm

You're not a fan of Wood? I think she is incredibly smart. I'm a pretty big fan. As you already mentioned history means nothing in this market. What has worked or happened in the past will not happen again. We will never see the type of hyper inflation we saw in the 80s with mortgage rates in the 13-15% range.

People in Buffalo hate the snow. Everyone national thinks it snows all the time in Buffalo due to blizzard of 77.

It seems the vaccines are effective vs the variants.

I just hope we don't see another cold April/early May like we've seen the last few years.

I would be surprised to see cases double in the next month with the amount of people getting vaccinated and the warm weather coming.

CPC agrees

Looks pretty warm early next week. Will likely be first 60 degree temps for most.
