    Interesting to see both these pieces of information come out at the same time

    that's how some diseases work. the 1918 flu disproportionately affected young healthy people

    also we are much less accustomed to death now. when someone in middle age dies these days we treat it as a shock and something that should be avoided, rather than 100 years ago when it was commonplace for children and young adults to die often(from disease, starvation, war etc.) as humanity progresses we accept less death and for the most part that's a good thing.

    what does this even mean?

    Once again this thread is just proving how polarizing online discussions become. We either get people complaining about people being out and about without masks or sharing images that make beaches look much more crowded than they are or sharing fake stories about how the new world order has brought this disease upon us to destroy our freedoms and parroting some online information from very questionable sources. Very few people here are actually discussing a productive way to handle this disease.

    also disappointed but not shocked by the anti vaccination thoughts here. it doesn't make your immune system weaker, it's provoking the exact same response in your body as if you actually got the disease, that's why it's effective. Though maybe you are right and we should go back to having 15 million deaths a year due to smallpox and 500,000 deaths from polio each year. There's a reason life expectancy has gone up so much in the past 100 years and its not because we're eating more cheeseburgers.

    This will be inherently more deadly than the flu because no one has any prior immunity from previous exposure or a vaccine like millions upon millions do every flu season, this is a fact that cannot be denied or argued.

    Yeah I remember when everyone could get a test in March. And 60 million antibody tests would be available by the end of April. Lots of people make lots of promises that are rarely fulfilled

    It’s mostly still the meat packing plant outbreaks in Green Bay but there were a lot of new cases in Milwaukee and Kenosha counties as well
  12. madwx
    lets do this
  13. madwx
    I’m gonna keep troll posting 240+ GFS solutions nice front end thump here. Too bad it changes over to rain so quickly. Wonder how road temps will be

    https://www.weather.gov/grb/052847_snowstorm Was poking around at info about late season snowfalls and man some of this stuff is nuts
  15. madwx
    won't happen verbatim but a sample of the airmasses we'll be dealing with
  16. madwx
    too much festering precip. oh well, our peak severe season doesn't really start for another month
  17. madwx
    May 3-10 or so looks like it could be very cool for the time of year, especially in the eastern part of the subforum
  18. madwx
    i'll be out if anything tracks into S WI, gotta get my storm chances in considering I most likely won't be able to go to the plains to chase this year
  19. madwx
    Check back at the end of June

    yeah we are only catching 10% cases so in most states the rate of cases is just the amount of testing. A better method of seeing how many people are infected in each state is to count the deaths and assume the fatality rate is around 0.5-0.7% and calculate the cases from that.
  21. madwx
    I think a lot of the current spread is in places that people aren't able to social distance (prisons, work at meat packing plants, health care workers, etc.)
  22. madwx
    How do you propose infecting 80% of the population asap without massively overloading the hospital system. 20% of NYC got infected over 2 months and their system was on the brink of being overloaded.
  23. madwx
    the infection rate map mostly mirrors the testing rate map which is a good indicator that we're not catching all the cases
  24. madwx
    looking like a trend to a weak la nina as summer goes on and atlantic/gom temps are above average. Wonder if we will have a couple tropical systems impact the midwest
  25. madwx
    that would mean the actual infections have been about 10x the reported infections, if not slightly more.
