It is not all sports that are mandated only the ones with close contact. To be honest those sports shouldn't even be played at a state level right now. There is way too much risk for kids to pass on the virus that can't be controlled or checked like at a professional level. And there are very few things restricted right now. Gyms opened up this week but people have to wear a mask, anyone complaining at this point is only complaining because they have to wear a mask for certain things. Mind you there are plenty of outdoor activities where you don't need to wear a mask at all.

Sounds like the best winter ever in my books. I love action and that is consistent action to say the least.

We all are.

00z gfs even crazier for Denver and Western KS. Goodland goes from 103 to snow in less than 48 hours.

Moisture boundary blasted through and sucked all the moisture with it.

Yeah with all of this rain anything in Michigan should be gone from the drought monitor.

It has happened a few times in Sept, 1971 had 17.2" and 1995 had 7.4" there were a few more instances over a foot for the month but those were back around 1900.

Not here but the meteogram for Denver off of the 12z Euro might be one of the wildest things I have ever seen.

I'd have to look but I bet near historic for day time temps this time of year.

It was dumb but expected. However of all the things to worry about I think the actual pandemic is more important than Pelosi getting a haircut.

It isn't wrapping up, numbers are going down in the state but schools just opened up and some will be in person. So it is very early to spike the ball.

Good I want no snow until late November, those winters where it holds off until then tend to be good. So bring on 70s for October.

There is a correlation with those places where mask wearing is more prevalent having better numbers, but it also a function of how much is open and yes there could be weakening of the virus itself, but that last factor is a bit more unknown.

FL/TX being higher is a function of population. Per capita its the midwest and northeast which OSU pointed out.

Baum's graphic says cali and the northeast and midwest lead in testing.

Those first 2 images are Houston based and the 3rd image is showing that it is going up recently. Plus I am saying the south there is more than Texas and Houston in the south. That first image isn't cases either its hospitalizations, that is different than total cases.

Perfect, sounds like it will be near peak when I am up there. Very excited!

No it isn't and idk what your vested interest is in misinformation but around here we deal in facts.

That is my concern especially with southern colleges and universities doing a lot of in person education. We are already seeing some large numbers showing up.

What percentage are we looking at so far up there?

I will say the numbers have gotten better since the mask mandates even if the mask usage isn't what it is in the north or northeast.

Better yes but still no where near the rate of the north or northeast and the numbers are still misleading down south because of the numbers of testing falling through the floor.

The testing numbers have plummeted but the positivity rates aren't dropping as quickly as the testing rate so yes they are still getting sicker and sicker. If there was a true testing amount done the numbers in the south would be huge. That is why the per capita is through the roof across the south.

This pretty much is it, outside of a few narrow sects of the country like gyms and theaters there really isn't anything closed. There may not be physical locations open to the public but business is being done pretty much everywhere.

Yeah I agree and maybe this will be a trend that keeps those viruses down this year because we are all masked up, at least all of us rational people.
