No one really knows but if it follows the cold and flu viruses then it should be bad in winter. Maybe it doesn't and we get lucky but the comparative viruses usually explode then so I am not very hopeful.

Of course there are other factors but hell the people posting in here from the south are openly admitting to not wearing masks or that masks are scarce down there. That is a huge factor in the spread and shouldn't be ignored. There is a reason the curves in the north have gone down, and its been a hot summer here and out east so many are in AC here too, so the AC comparison falls a bit flat.

Several of the highest per capita case amounts over the last few months have been in the south. That is the truth. Your anecdotes are irrelevant here.

Yeah I'll trust the numbers over your random post. Yeah they are idiots but the rural parts of this state are not treating this the same as the cities. As for the links the first one is opinion and from April where a lot of data has come out since. The second one I could counter with the high volume of cases as colleges and they are much bigger spreaders amongst themselves and across the country. Also how long as school even been back in person, how about we wait a bit more than a week before spiking that ball.

That guy is an idiot and/or troll.

Yeah with all that social interaction and refusal to wear a mask, the south will continue to keep get sicker and sicker. Reluctance to treat this as something serious is going to the at their own peril.

If Wendy's is going out to eat... oof, you need to live a bit more.

Dude I icefish, so put away the measuring stick, plus you know what I meant.

Which is why there are more people getting sick in the south, which was my point... Because you all don't give a damn, so you are getting sick at a higher rate than here.

Here is someone that would fit in perfectly down south.

For example, GA/MI both very similar population yet MI has done 400k more tests and has had 150k less cases. NY/TX TX has 150k more cases in less tests by 3 million less tests.

They aren't testing at the highest rates compared to other states similar in size though, their positive rates per testing proves that. And using a graph that is collective skews the data when I am referring to recently. NY/NJ/IL/MI/CA have some of the highest numbers because of what happened back in March and April but since then the numbers are substantially higher in the south and are not going down there.

If we were testing at their levels our case numbers would be lower than theirs by a substantial margin. Imagine if the south was actually testing at the level the north is, their cases would be higher big time. Again the recent numbers are the part that matters, you are looking at this from a total aspect, for what reason I don't know.

You don't think that tourism isn't huge in this state? Yet we are testing thousands daily. It is entirely because one state believes this is real and one state that doesn't.

That's total, I'm talking recently. Everyone knows NYC was ****ed initially.

Michigan is testing a substantial amount more than most places in the south. You can literally go anywhere and get a test because up here we actually want to know who is sick instead of guessing or assuming.

And yet the south continues to lead the way in new cases and deaths, I wonder why.

Exactly and if anything we reacted too slowly initially.

I am already regretting my pick, Alek's is looking $$$

I would 1 dollar overbid anyone!

East of Galveston on the Bolivar Peninsula at 140mph would be my guess.

Sorry to hear man, at least you two are doing well all things considered. This post should be a note for those who are still thinking it is no big deal or only impacts old people.

Yeah especially if the Bermuda ridge can flex, if so then we can expect some remnant action head this way.

Reminds me of when I was looking at my vacation around Lake Superior back in 2016. At this range it even had snow along the north shore. What verified, a couple of normal days 70s/low 50s and then unseasonably warm in the low to mid 80s across the UP.
