positive point of view for the win. "That's a damn rare thing these days"- Del Griffith.

^ when every model shows this 6 hours before "game on" start the thread. not until.

Love this thread: "winters over" " No snow until march" " Our climo sucks" ...post upon post and discussion of futile winters....."I hate brown grass" .....euro rolls in with a 8" snow for some areas ........classic weather weenies delight.

your ouiji board has spoken.

yeah that's what I was doing along with the Illini at 10 pm last night. sorry for the OT...but what's one to do on a weather board with no weather?

I'll take the next 4 winters after 1975.

word of the day: hope.

1979

local met in chitown buying in a bit. and this guy is fairly conservative...just to throw some more gas on the embers.....

It doesn't snow in Indianapolis. Easy toss.

congrats, madison.

agreed.

I'm much more a guy that's worried about 1-2" snow rates in Burlington,Iowa headed east-northeast into my neck of the woods in the next 3 hours versus what's happening in the Gulf of Alaska. I'm just not into the long game.

your no Joe Bastardi..

A new study just released yesterday regarding the particle size of the virus if folks are so inclined. Apologies if it was previously posted. My understanding is the particle size is relevant to the importance of mask wearing. Others here I'm sure are more schooled than I to it's relevance. Just trying to add to reasonable debate.

for this board, despite this particular thread "Dust in the Wind" maybe more fitting.

worth the read out of Japan. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.21.20198796v1.full.pdf

If cases and hospitalizations are your thing here is where we stand currently.

I posted this a couple days ago. This is testing through August 23 by state.

Perhaps. I just like to post the real stats for folks to dissect as they currently stand. With regard to the NE quadrant and the sunbelt there are a whole slew of controversial topics that can be unpacked: nursing homes, ventilators, lockdown vs no lockdowns, cases vs severity of cases, potential herd immunity, comparisons to sweden, state to state quarantines, age groups affected and so on and on ad nausem as we all know.

Yes, cases in the sun belt were exceptionally high. However, the fatality rate on those cases has been substantially lower as compared to the north east. Should add data shows the south seems to be improving and we have yet to see a correlating jump in deaths as seen further north.

No opinion here. Just some relevant articles that maybe worth a read. https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-08-28/few-preschoolers-catch-coronavirus-data and a little troll job for Stebo from Traverse City yesterday. Damn Southerners!!!

^ I'm just posting real stats. But am I missing that California, Texas, and Florida are the highest testing states sans New York as of August 23? And their cases are also the highest, as you state, though I did not post cases. Caveat, there death rates are well below what was experienced in the northeast during there peak. So the graph to some extent supports your theories on testing equates to cases. However, to say the sun belt is not testing on a high level would not be true based on this graphic. The idea is not to debate rather to report consistent facts as they currently lie with real data.

testing.
