I just got done with a good workout, I'm sitting out on the patio and I'm about to grill some dinner, I haven't been this chilled in awhile. I don't want to antagonize, we're all in this together and you have a lot of good points, but when I see incorrect information being used and I have the correct data, I have an obligation to spread the correct information. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ This site has more updated values (they scrape the data daily from each states websites), where you'll see that South Carolina is one of the laggards(along with a handful of midwestern states). Sure South Carolina is doing some good things, like loosening the lockdown, having a reasonable reopening strategy etc. but testing ain't one of those things, and until testing is an order of magnitude better, you (and a lot of other states) won't truly be in front of this

I think you guys are doing a reasonable job opening up but to say you are in line with the rest of states in testing is an outright lie, you have the second least amount of tests per capita in the nation, the US average is 30k tests per million and there are 20 states with over 30k test per 1M so no there aren't just "a few outliers"

It's a good thing y'all are ramping up testing because your current testing numbers are paltry.

58/15 here at the moment. Probably won't see dewpoints this low again until october or november.

it's been a slow climb through the 40s this morning. Hoping we can at least crack the lower 50s today. One last chance at a frost tonight before mid/upper 50s tomorrow, lows in the upper 30s tomorrow night and 60s and dews in the 40s on Wednesday

10 degree dew point on May 8th. What a time to be alive

there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Starting Wednesday things are looking warmer with higher dewpoints and chances for storms. Euro shows a high pressure building in after that for a beautiful weekend next weekend with temps in the 60s and 70s

Almost a who's who of the bluest counties in America.

blowtorch means death ridge, lets get an active pattern with thunderstorms and mild temps

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.

forecast has lows in the 30s for the next 7 days. Don't know if we can break any records but next Monday would be our best shot with the record low being only 29. This morning temps only got down to 40. about 4 degrees above the predicted, maybe this trend will continue

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.

Here's the thread for it

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

Some convection with 10k ft bases in southern LOT CWA. Pretty cool stuff

Todays 12z GFS at 192 hrs would give Green Bay the lowest May 500mb heights on record based on sounding climatology
