I may have missed it if there was a discussion about weather influences on the West coast, but highs in the 70's wouldn't necessarily drive people indoors in LA more than usual. Just pandemic fatigue?

I agree with people needing help asap. I know that it makes it more complicated, but I would propose that form to be filled out similar to a W-4 sinifiying that you will get the shot when it becomes available. If you don't receive it when offered, it becomes a tax liability and the IRS would ultimately be responsible for collecting it if not voluntarily repaid.

Sounds like a good plan to me. "Former Democratic congressman and presidential candidate John Delaney has suggested giving Americans who are willing to take a coronavirus vaccine a $1,500 stimulus check." https://www.wane.com/news/stimulus-checks-would-a-1500-payment-make-you-more-likely-to-get-a-covid-vaccine/

I'm fearful that beavis is going to be a victim of climate change.

I give up.

If that's even accurate (which I doubt), the reason is because the Federal government propped up the economy with $2.59 trillion as of September 1st. Without further bailout money being appropriated soon, you're going to audibly hear the flushing sound as the economy goes down the toilet. EDIT: Oh, and here's the link to this factual data. https://datalab.usaspending.gov/federal-covid-funding/

The local mayor tried to put some teeth into Governor Holcomb's mask mandate last week by announcing that at the officer's discretion, a $25 ordinance violation fine will be levied and escalating for repeat offenses. Of course, a protest is being planned for this Saturday, with at least one of the planners being a local businessman. I considered going into his restaurant with a mask but no shoes or shirt just to see if I get a reaction. Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't phase him, although it would make a point. In the meantime, my father-in-law just tested positive. I'm sure glad that my wife and I refused to go to her family's Thanksgiving get together.

Bowling balls sometimes are spread the wealth type storms, but even they usually don't cover the whole subforum.

Put your money on the Euro and save yourself some heartache.

2011-12 says hi.

I'm not sure if the northern stream wave was fully sampled for the 12z run. But it should increase confidence in the outcome.

Yo!! Anyone awake over here in Ohio? Or are you all just quarantining?

I can't say that I've ever seen a temperature forecast map like that.

It's not normal yet. Buckeye hasn't made an appearance.

I found out a long time ago that pulling back on the reins usually doesn't work once wagons head west. Chicagoland's gonna lasso another one. Seriously, don't get too excited down in Indy yet, but Hoosier's right, there's a chance. In the meantime, you might get to enjoy some boomers tomorrow.

The Euro has the surface low doing the sit-n-spin over the Great Lakes for over 48 hrs. lol

Ohio posters are kind of jaded, as they've had Lucy jerk the ball back too many times to be excited.

"The company (Regeneron) said it expects to have does of REGEN-COV2 treatment ready for about 80,000 patients by the end of this month, about 200,000 patients by the first week of January and approximately 300,000 patients in total by the end of January." Also: "The FDA said the antibodies are not authorized for patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19." https://www.newsnationnow.com/health/coronavirus/vaccine/fda-grants-emergency-use-authorization-to-regeneron-covid-19-antibody-given-to-trump/ So the treatment is for patients who are positive and a high risk for developing severe symptoms or have a high viral load.

This economy vs. health has been debated ad nauseam. No one here is going to change anyone else's mind. A lockdown will be the death knell for thousands of businesses, since there is no government support. It would also drive millions into bankruptcy. The problem that with nothing being done other than "mandates" and a vaccine being several months away, many of these businesses will go under anyway, as customer traffic will be reduced due to people not venturing out with the threat of infection. As these businesses close, unemployment will once again increase. So, until Congress gets off of their duffs and passes some financial assistance legislation, we will be stuck with the choice of a slow agonizing spiral into depression or a quick economic dagger. As I see it, those are our choices for now.

I don't know where you moved from, but if you're near I -70 and hoping for a parade of storms.... Only half kidding. Welcome to the subforum and around here is the land of the rain/snow line.

C'mon guys. Knock it off. The field hospital thing was mismanaged AND NYC hospitals were overwhelmed, which I believe was the original point being made.

Wow, I left for a few hours and come back to this s**t show. While all of you are busy bickering, name-calling, and pointing fingers, I got a call from an official today asking how many body bags I can get my hands on.

If it stays consistent for a couple more runs, I'll bite.
