Typhoon Tip

Yeah... I mean tongue-in-cheek aside, I know ... man of 'science cloth' over here. These viral dosings are neutered ... In addition to white blood cell activation they're also capable of triggering a pan-systemic histamine response - to which fever is a part ...etc..etc... but they are gutted particles and don't ultimately package any delivery. All bark but no bite ...so the next time the immune system recognizes the growl I don't 'get sick' very often either. But my life-style is ( unfortunately ...) lonely and I don't interact with v-goo-goos nearly as much as I am aware I don't - hahaha... That's an illness too ... No seriously, my exposure may not be the huge even in best of times. I have spheres of friends and stuff but they are all mask and hygiene vax believers, dads and moms with 4 to 12 year -olds... so tend to nervous and toe the line over this thing. We've looked silly in backyards at 10 foot apart donned in masks a couple of times. I'm just going with the flow and wanting not to be left out but truth be told...not thinking that setting is very high risk or anything. ah hell - a week or two I'll be a dose in and signed up for # 2 ... I'm hoping I get my parent's "vaccine variant reaction" and not my sister's. I have never been vaccinated for the flu. I have only ever been immunized for standard youngster goop. I tell you though... a year ago last November I was went through the flu - or Covid. Not sure which, but the symptom spectrum identically matched the COVID-19 description. I have not had so much as a sniffle since.

It's hard to get a bead on this ... My parents are 75 and 80 respectively ...neither presented with side effects on either the first or 2nd dose ( Moderna ) ... meanwhile, my sister is 42 and vibrantly healthy with no apparent co-morbs and she was couched for a two days worth of Covid-19. I'm almost wondering if it really means one's immune system is weak if they don't sense a reaction ? just wonderin' Does that mean she "would have" gotten hospital, and my parents, no? Seems unlikely..but, these sort of disparities abound - and no ..I don't figure this as completely anecdotal. I've been having difficulty even getting on wait lists. Apparently - this just in! - it's not such a hot idea to open up vaccines to all remaining 16 to 55-year old with no comorbids when that represents the ballast population density ... holy shit! It might cause a run-on the vaccine and overload the system... I don't know but I hit like 50 sites from Maine to Timbucktu and finally gave up yesterday after three hours of 'check back at a later date' when scheduling. I'm sure I'm not alone in that .. Then, ironically... this little mom-and-pop pharmacy shows up as offering vaccine, located in my town they're only a mile away too - weird. Was able to get on their list.. But it's like in general you have to get wait listed to be then put on a schedule - enlisted to then be listed. Lol .... what a cluster

I mean ... it's counter-intuitive, really. Obviously, more information should succeed intellect but ... we could wait 30 to 50 years of scholars and scientists to prove what we already know, just by looking around and common interactive experience in civility at a sociological level: Access to informatics acts more like a stimulant, than it does enlightenment - It's almost like we can't simply dose the mainstay plebeian population density - which regardless of rural or urban or ethnic distinction, represents the ballast of population - with fluxes of new data and information, and opinion polls and op eds and pretty glamorous iconographic effects to sell special interest modes of thinking ... and it's all just too goddamn much for those 'gates'? It's really like this Internet post-modernism is exposing that when one is just a f*n dumbass they are actually dangerous with more information - they are not filtering it right - they do not seem to posses the ability to think critically/healthy in skepticism and objectivity - they seem to lack the ability categorization into distinctive, compartmentalized understanding of reality ...leading to a daunted state of cumulative morosity and melancholia - in a lot of cases ... violence. Gee ...where's there evidence for that. While we are out here with our bloated sense of self-righteous virtuosity in the PC CANCEL culture ...shading anyone that has the audacity/temerity to point out that the average person is a f'ing idiot. Lol ..something like that. ...Uh, with all do respect ... I'm kidding at the end there a little but ... This turns cheeks and mislabels, and/or misses threat elements in a lot of ways. It enables these deviant modes of thinking. Evidence evinces over the last 20 years, that overloading lower education and/or limited experiential mentalities leads to a kind of histrionic smolder in society - a powder keg. I also think there's a separate phenomenon tearing at the fabric of culture, that the internet is pretty solely indictable for. It has to do with "emboldening" ? A mean crack-pots operating as UniBombers and theater shooters may lurk in any population sufficiently large... yadda yadda, but, there's nothing more dangerous to the stability of the whole like an idiot with a cause, and when individuals aggregate fringe ideologies in the "dark web" this, or social media that, and then 'recruit' others that are disgruntled in general and need a bj super bad... that ugly misanthrope finds comfort in any "etho-chamber" they can that gives their disgruntled bs a vector ... It's almost like some part of their psyche tells them, 'maybe I'm alone and therefore not right,' but when in groups... ah ha! Now, we have a schismatic culture of island separatists - That's a lot of longish words. The reality ...may not be quite so mordant - but there is some real truth to "strength in numbers" Proof? the "herd" stampeding on the Capitol Building... These idiots were amassed and indoctrinated, and incensed and embolden around a dissenting ideology using the Internet. ... I could turn this into a dystopian sci fi that ends in the Fermi Paradox explanation -

That's quite the mild run of the GFS operational over all through about D11/ ..12 Removing the Friday cold snap ... it's again, the last belly blow for some time. And that thing for Monday is hugely different in this run comparing the 00z Euro's evolution. The GFS really flips the sensible and actual synoptics appeals by the end of the next day, Tuesday - with temps easily 70-74 given high sun and light west wind during Tuesday afternoon. Very seasonal and normal looking fropa in a week, followed by a quick roll-out and return TX conveyor pattern. Might even get DPs up here... Its extended ... may be overdoing the warm complexion - but it's a tough call. The NAO is neggie but it's a different format this go than three weeks ago. That one was clearly a well defined and coherent blocking over the western limb of the NAO domain space, which concomitantly delivers under cut/stalling vortex regimes and we did suffer ...and probably ultimately parlayed into a snow threat even...all that - this is different. Firstly, it's coming from the GEFs - I don't know if the EPS even sees the same index mode/modality that GEFs currently has...But also, looking over the individual members, they do not nearly as well agree upon the height orientation and structural attributes of the NAO domain space nearly as concertedly as before. So in a sense...it's like the current negative curved outlook at CPC is more of a numeric accident that they happen to compute the same value as though there really were a block - I mean there just isn't much of one so I'm wondering if the -NAO is red herring this time. It'll be interesting to see if a west-based NAO might gather/emergence in time. But the reason I am not totally sold on the GFS's D12 570 dm thickness to ALB ... is because the PNA is positive out there, and that is actually situated with the outward mode of the open Pacific Basin - the strong phase 8 MJO wave with a weaker gradient/ lower velocity hemisphere might make the MJO forcing transmit it's signal more into the westerlies for an early May butt boning ... It wouldn't be snow...just aggravatingly unsummer - lol ... half kidding.. But I also think that any returning chillier regime wouldn't come with the same appeal after D10 ...because the cold sourcing is really moderating significantly as super mean.

What you suggest about the nature of anecdotal accounting as needing a filtration of incredulity, etc... is perfunctory and true. I guess when the account frequency is rather large, however, it gets tougher to ignore? That seems/appears to be were we are. It seems C-19 is less one-size fits all. As we've opined ( and incinerated heh ) in the past, we simply cannot trust any media that has any kind of profit agenda at all - ... which or course means we are all pretty much isolated from truth and stranded upon a proverbial island, unknowing what is really going on with the rest of the world ..etc.etc. lol, but for how little it is worth to say, sources more and less virtuous for their m.o. ( like NPR for example ) ... have reported more density in variance. Hmm I mean, let's consider hemorrhagic fevers ( Ebola, and Bubonic Plague...etc...): these types result in narrower symptom spectrum/expressions. With C-19 these accounts - large number of them notwithstanding... - suggest more variance. Even with Chicken Pox, or Mumps or Rubella ... Typhoid.... etc, these have a more predictable and observed systemic response regardless individual being treated. Yeah, I'm sure these other infections have anecdotal variance' too - just not as much. Or ... we could go the paranoid route and it's all a bed of lies... Lol. Maybe there is only anecdotal variance ... and no actual variance. Because come to think about about it, the "Industrial Media Complex" wants you to be facing unknowns .. Why? Obvious: because they are diabolically aware that unknown --> to fear --> clicking mouses and thumb swiping phones... See how that works... weeeeee. Really really easy to gaslight and trigger a civility of nervy birds into flight by sending dogma through the field. I like the cynical snark: The day that the Industrial Media Complex figured out how to turn mouse clicks and thumb swipes, and Television channel pings into a lucrative economic circuitry, we were doomed to ever have any hope of unbiased truth.

I don't believe at this time the Euro will be more right about Monday's synopsis over eastern New England, than the weaker appeals of the consensus and other guidance types. Its subtle, but crucially it's adding amplitude from seemingly nowhere regarding the southern stream impulse it is handling/ relaying through the TV from D4+ ... The model does this all the time at that particular temporal seam. And that sets the stage for an erroneous, subsequent over phasing with a flat wave stabbing in from southern Canada. I agree with the general notion of stream/mechanical interactions there, but the Euro typically does this... it slows down flows ( or imposes extra curvature that results in slowing...) along that D4 to 5 interface. In fact, it then does that out there further in time too... But it ends up with more amplitude than other guidance and it's own EPS mean by too much on Monday, which lends to its wrapping in deeper cold tap. We'll see, but I'm guess less there - The bigger blow of cold is Thursday ... circa Saturday. I'm guessing it is the last major cold anomaly until further notice. I see a pattern change - one perhaps augmented by mid august sun dosing the hemisphere at this point, and only getting stronger. Which ever is more important in that relationship aside, there is a pretty coherent flashing over the hemisphere in all guidance and means - even though the Euro is suspiciously over amped for Monday, thereafter even it ends up with a tepid to warm hemisphere, too.

Interesting ... very similar story to a close friend of mine and his family when it swept through their household. The mother and two children ( 5 and 7 ) resolved inside of short days with mild fevers, touch of nausea and sniffle and not much else. The dad ( 53 ) couldn't eat or drink for 10 days, running a fever 100 to 103 much of the time. Lost 25 lb... He later told me that he actually felt he was getting better; his fever broke around day six or so, and he had sent down a sleeve of saltines, along with ginger-ale and juice...etc. But per the behest of his wive, he goes into a Med stop/ER because he was coughing and was also wobbling and winded on the stairs. Turns out his blood oxygen level was dangerously low, so they hauled his ass into a gurney for a three day stint IV with a banana bag and oxy mask. They opted not to intubate ... rather just the breathing mask pulled his levels up to so-so, then normal. He is a typical middle age American dad for body type and health now ... not quite as portly as Peter Griffin, just no longer sports the sinews of his down-hill competitive skiing and semi pro cycling days. He goes from that last lift, to marital bliss - see what it got him? Lol... He's always had mild asthma, and does have an inhaler for emergencies but seldom ever needs to use it... Hard to say if that one factor - and there are/were no others leading... - could have caused all that systemic havoc, but it is what is. There are those that have comorbidity factors, contracted this thing ... walked away. There are 6-8 mile running paragons of health that go through what these guys did. So, it seems yes ...comorbid is, in itself, may contribute to severity, but perhaps there's other aspects that are just not known that may even be more important. Maybe given time science will figure out an ah-ha factor.

We have a 'store' ( I guess it is ...) near-by in town here, "Gage" is the name of it, 2A leaving the rotary E on the left side. They seem to be open like once every 2 weeks I'm guessing, because much of the time the lights are off and the parking lots empty. But on that one or two days .... look out! Line out the door with mask clad people, all standing in single file, 6 feet by 6 feet, winding around the parking lot. Never thought I'd see the day when cops are not only not arresting people for pot, but in a funny sort of metaphor, by directing they're guiding the joints and bongs to mouth - they're veritable Gonja nurses... - LOL. It's a shit show of people coming and going in throngs, while normal irate trucking and commuter traffic attempts to squeeze through that artery to the town. I was thinking the other day ... wouldn't it be funny if some compound in the Marijuana was the key silver bullet cure all for this C-19 thing - hilarious. And to really chap the asses of those that hate it being legal... turns out, you have to smoke it regularly in a kind of fun way and that makes people laugh and want to get along - god forbid. I love karma - Course, I can't smoke the stuff. F's me up ... I get weird physical reactions that are not fun and laughy but more like sad and die-y feeling so heh...maybe stick to a Long Island Ice Teas

Covid -19 is in the same family as Covid -4 ...a.k.a. the common head cold, also known to some as the "Rhino Virus", but dubbed so because of it's horns ? those are the same features present ( essentially) in the 19 Coronavirus' manifold ...They're cousins. I mean, if one wants to get philosophically-techy about it ... the Covid -'X' has many genomic relatives .... Just agreeing with here but it's not really an "I think" ( lol...) - more like "there are..."

Heh... The Pacific circulation envelope has been sort of f*ed all cold season ...going back to perhaps 2004 ( Lol ) Seriously though, telecon layouts have been demoing repeating poor correlations ...whereby they were remarkably more linearly suggestive between 1920 (reanalysis...) and the early 2000s. I think it's CC frankly ...and I'm willing to push the hypothesis that the expanding Hadley Cell/tropical mass envelope into the lower Ferrel latitudes ( as discussed in climate reports et al...) is having a integrated effect on global base-line geostrophic wind velocities, and these are skewing the R-wave progression and residences, which could certainly explain some of the reason why ENSOs are less representative - not saying there's 0 climate impacts - people read things and tend to pack the comprehension at absolute ends of concepts but ( not you per se just sayn') this is all just by 'tendency' ... But it's enough therein to f shit up... Particularly, this seasonal lag thing that is dumping weird cold plumes in April's and May's ... To be fair and honest, I'm saying Thursday is the last body blow - but that is relative to the present signals et al, but I also just got down indicating those signals are less than dependable. So, May may ( pun intended ) 1977 our asses for all I know...and we'll have a couple of 80 F days before then just make sure that the bud killer cold claims as many orchard trees as it physically can. ...I'm getting increasingly snark-droll here. Anyway, the operational tenor is the key...and it matches the -PNA for whatever vestige of worth that has.... So that part agrees with you. The MJO, on the other hand, does not. It has a robust signal now late 7-8-1 ... That's a whole 'nother issue. There's even a re-curving cyclone near Japan ... and I don't think it is too late in the season for the thermal flux into the westerlies out there to send a ripple down through the Americas from that uptake ... clock is ticking...Once the season really finally does break down to summer nebular flow constructs ...that transmission circuitry falls apart until October... The problem with the MJO is that it, too, has been buried in the HC to the point where it may not be forcing as capable as it was 20 years ago. Lot of changes in the global eddy - the previous understanding needs modulation. But, we are passing out of the hemispheric gradient and velocity, and the wave suddenly becoming robust is probably because it's signature is no longer being as damped by the former footprint. So "maybe" that allows it to force more ? Supposition...but I feel a good one. It may not mean snow ... duh. I mean we could get record cold now and have it be too warm for snow at this point now passing the 20th of April.

Not you per se ( I am not speaking to you personally, but your post's content, because I'm seeing this dissension out in society more and more, et all...) but it strikes me as selfish/self-absorbed/'What's in it for me' -ism, frankly - I mean ...part and parcel to survival, has to come down to that question at some point or the other. We are not there yet - apprehension to get vaccine is not a challenge or threat to those prospects. If people were not with their AVR compasses pointed so internally, they might be in a frame of mentality that allows them to either see ... failing that, 'suspect' that there is a bigger canvas here that doesn't require whether they, themselves, have a convenienced fortune that is satisfying. Vax to protect society as a whole - that's still the over-arcing, socially responsible thematic virtuosity ... Not saying its right, but that's the mantra in the air. It seems the dissenting opinion removes that key cognitive awareness, when in the process of rendering the decision not to vax if they can't get their candy back for doing it.. sort of like that -

Still looks overall to me like Thursday's trough and interior Maritime Canada bombogen ...back side tortured polar lash through the region ... should really be the last body blow. Even the Euro is coming around - although it's EPS ensemble had been less. It seems the trough incursions and roll-in-out air masses from this end week on are more seasonal and not as bizarrely deep in cold anomaly. There is one little Leslie Nielson afterthought slap upon exit on Sunday. That's a pretty interesting rapid cyclogenesis gale bomb out there. But it's backside isn't as cold ... Still and interesting dynamic system there. But afterword, the whole tapestry of the hemispere from the GOA to the D. Straight to Bermuda to the Baja of Cali is coherently spring ...even has some demonstratively warmer than normal plumes. The whole of it is neutral-positive, as opposed to the neutral-negative - probably the short version way to look at it.

I used to make fun of you for this .. .but then it become too easy when considering ( specifically ) that choice of word syntax - lol..

I have a 250 year old Maple kitty corner my property that looms authoritatively over all others. Oh they try to compare and act like they're celebrities too, but they are just part of its entourage. Over the years I've lived in this house much longer than I ever wanted to ... I have used "General Sherman" as my pet name for its majestic scaffolding so vast as to provide it's own ecological kingdom ... Probably the perfect setting for a children's book, with a squirrel family, and "Mr tuck" the wood pecker..., and scary part of town where the honey bees are too temping to keep teenagers off of sweet drugs...be leery of society pitfalls and getting 'stung' heh I don't really think the 'blooming' part of spring is happening until that guy says, and he does so by the crack of the bud. They are not cracked, but they are huge! I don't see it holding back over today and tomorrow.

Today is intensely beautiful to the point of NWS creating a new category, and warning civility with it ... not to operate heavy machinery while under the influence of the ambience. It's like either this weather, or it's metaphor: girl/guy of one's dream, blanket, field of aromatic flowers, wine, cheese and bj's ... It's hard to believe that thickness as are really still 538 to 545 dm out there. With pop-corn cu and intense irradiance-scorching nape sun spot lighting in splashes as it cleaves in between them upon my lonely stage. It seems like it should be 552 DM with leaf bloom out there. Lawns green and growing, tho. I think there must be some convection already possible. With the sun continuing to add thermal energy to the bottom of a thickness column that resides under lower heights like this - that's sort of an indirect way of flagging instibility in the column. Low DP thermal instability ... light shower, single pop of thunder and modest toned-down microburst tendency

... But, perhaps that's about the change. A couple months ago I speculated on a warmer than normal spring. At the time I stated three plausible factors/or questions contributing: -- La Nina climatology -- HC expansion hypothesis ( could go either way ...) -- Whether or not these two factors would constructively or destructively interfere. In purer La Nina: ... you know, when I go back and just look at the coarse .. yet real monthly ENSO means going back to 1950s, https://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ONI_v5.php, and noting/comparing them to very warm spring/spring synoptic warm events over eastern N/A ... -ENSO appear to correlate there just based on a cursory scan of the data. -.5 to -2.0 ENSO in the 3.4 .. and adjoining basin notwithstanding, but some notables1976 April... 2012 April ...just to name a couple. 1976 was insane! The UML station at me alma mater put up a five day heat wave of 90 to 96 ... and looking through the data at the location, it wasn't a fluke episode as an island to the season. They were 70s if not 80s carrying on and on, and just seem to sort of seamlessly fade into mid summer that year. This year was similar in the ENSO spectrum... yet it doesn't seem sensibly to be doing the same sort of thing. Obviously it has not been 90 - ha. I think this is an HC spring again ... much like the dominant signal over the past 7 years... with disruptive early warmth fleeting 'momentary synoptics' not sustained, then failing to episodic or prolonged -NAO / .. blocking periods that regressed April and May at times. It would appear diurnal minimums skew the temps higher, and confuse/obfuscate the truth of what's going on. HC doesn't mean warm heights per se... the energy, in winter, is mechanical as fast flow; then when that seasonally terminates, the atmosphere responds during that d(gradient) period time ...with blocking... 'continental folding -over' causing super-synoptic 'tucking' over east N/A mid latitudes.. You have to almost understand non-linear wave mechanics as an emergent tendency more so than an actual visible weather chart footprint. Tendencies are why we get NE flow down the coastal plain from Maine - that's an example of in situ tendencies that 'favor' an outcome, and given any excuse to realize... the tendency dominates. I think when the Pacific is averaging a faster flow and then it tries to abate ... as it passes through some velocity/mass-balancing phase ...we pass through tendency for trough evolution over Ontario-Quebec and tucking E flow into the M/A... Think of it as an invisible Kelvin Hemholtz wave where the atmosphere is trying to get to that structure - Intensely hypothetic and speculative but I think it's an intriguing idea... "Hadley Cell expansion and plausible effects on hemispheric basal mode circulation during transition season" - that's the title of your paper. That all said... I surmise "IF" there is value to that - as in real .. heh - I think it is "partially" masking the ENSO spring climo. The 00z GFS offers 70s and 80s D8 to 11 .. 12 as obviously highly negotiable ... The 06z was even more impressive, with 90 suggested D10.5! ... The GEFs -based telecon spread neutralizes the NAO ( as has been the case for days in the nightly computations) ...while the PNA at least transiently demos a concerted dip to -2 ST out there D 7 -14. Meanwhile, the EPS spatial/synoptic mean is more like the GEFs in that regard, signaling that the operational Euro may be over-zealous with its conserving and/or introducing additional curved trajectories to the look from D7 to 12. I suspect that D10 meandering low is not going to be there - despite the 1980s in older poster's thoughts and nostalgia for New England springs... it's not the quite there because of the latter, but by convention of the Euro tending to slow and anchor flows an operational bias. I think all these deterministic methods suggest a significant warm up is out there to end the month.

Yeah we didn't do terribly yesterday and you ... well, ' I ' .. .could really tell the diurnal 'stretching effect' is now here. It's not a real thing, but it's something I notice. When the days lengthen temperature may plateau ~ 12 to 2pm in atmospheres that are really cool profiled and not very supportive of mild ... just by thermal soundings at dawn alone on those days. But we have the sun! It's almost like it wants to do the winter high timing, where the high is 11:45 am ...and then the afternoon holds or falls but seldom rises without some other synoptic means. Between now and perhaps the first couple of weeks of September the sun is holding it up. The temp is trying to ruin summer and depress people ( haha) but is in a tug-o-war in that plateauing thing. But insolation finally wins and lags the temp up for another 3 or 4 somewhere 3:30 to 5 pm. Gives the allusion of protracting the afternoon that way. Perhaps more an affect, rather than an effect of longer daylight but .. concomitantly, longer light still means more heating -so ... On November 21st, without synoptic intervention or some other offset, the sun alone is done by 11:40 am... but it's closer to 5:30 pm in May 21... somethin' like that. And word on the above normal - man.. I posted in consternation over that subject matter just yesterday, providing NASA's March global temperature anomaly publication/annotation to help elucidate the weird disconnect that is occurring between the actual experience of March and April so far, compared to what is being empirically measured in the temperatures? It's amazing really ... April is flaring in with +2 to + 3 at all four climo sites around SNE for April, while all I can remember for some reason is being annoyed by cool wind on the nape and having to ( grudgingly enjoy) live through a 1:7 year type April snow event. It's like an inferno spring without feeling any warmth. interesting

Lol, right on schedule - still waiting on the La Niña spring

Looking over the various ens means and oper. tenors /.. telecons, Thurs trough may be the last body blow ... things seem to favor more benign troughs, N stream contraction polarward leading to more seasonal oscillations after.

It almost seems immoral to add that excessive single point winter skewing piece of like metaphysical lie to till

It’ll devolve from primary media to a cottage industry ... but it won’t go away entirely for reasons cited here - if the proportions are similar there’ll be millions that’ll provide enough for ‘boutique’ ... eventually There are other formats to consider like dinner theaters like Chunkies and so forth - those kinds of places… People have to get their kids outta their houses one way or the other ... the list goes on ...there’s gonna be lots of reasons why people want these kinds of outlets so there will always be at least some demand enough to keep a few options accessible. ... but the age of theaters providing the only means for the silver screen experience are over.

This is really bizarre ... ...It's hard to know where perception/acclimation and acceptance fails, and truth and reality take over. Having suffered March - really does not seem to support this, but - it's real... And the unique method of belying continues to deceive ... because the first 15 days of April are ~ +2 to 3 (ave) between the 4 majors in SNE, above normal... with a [ perhaps ] 1:6 or 7 year return rate snow event tucked in there. - I dunno. I just don't recall March 'feeling' sensibly anywhere close to that orb fire ball over N/A like that. I mean ...these are in whole degrees C

Nope ... ... this region of the planet shall remain the only cold hole relative to the CC footprint/ .. global warming for EVER ever ever

I think the story about Texas new case count plummeting to COVID-19 relative era record lows after they've relaxed their mask and distancing/ sheltering aspects is intriguing. It seems there are other claims surfacing ... all of which are beginning to evince that many measures being 'mandated' if not imposed by force of anathema/'shade' if one doesn't, were not well- foundationed if perhaps ever necessary. I remember wondering months ago ... it seems almost paradoxical: how is encouraging family's to hunker down and swap air in median household tech ventilation, in and around typical rural pathogenicity ... consistent with spreading out and social distancing? that seems to be a contradiction in terms.. Meanwhile, we have seen case spikes at holidays and week's aft as though doing that 'helped' the spread, not hindered it as intended - or thought and imposed... etc. I mean I think I get it - ...if it sweeps through household than maybe 5 to 6 people get it, then it stops there...but if those infected were spreading it outside the home... that means 50 to 60,000 in viral propagation/dispersion modeling and all that.. . I guess, but Texas seems to dispel that very convincing logic - suggesting it's not true some how for some way. Then, recently CDC/ .. science states that it is actually hard to catch C-19 off a door knob and so forth. .. People were Lysol spraying their produce ... probably at expense of their own sperm count doing that - lol.. heh. These contact surface transmissions are extremely poor and inefficient, and one individual has like a 1::10,000 chance of getting a dose sufficient enough to make them ill.. It seems there are a lot of aspect about this that 'novel' - as in new and unknown ... - were guess work? I can't say I blame - until we know ...we don't. But I just find it all intriguing. And of course hindsight is 20/20
