Guidance doing a poor job on the amount of ridging over the Strait of Gibraltar, causing massive displacement downstream. The Pac jet will blow this up, and ejaculate this system east fairly quickly in uneventful fashion. Be happy with the flurries you get in this crap pattern.

fixed... you forgot the reference...

Probably from work, I work in retail and roughly 40 to 50% of our customers a day refuse masks

Ugh, that sucks.  Sorry to hear that.  How bad are your symptoms?

Got a positive COVID test back today, am sick as hell. Wear a ****ing mask people.

Sorry to hear that - do you know where you may have gotten it from?

The year where Louisiana and Mississippi receive more snow than the lakes...

To not listen to the facts regardless of your age, ethnicity or gender is pure ignorance and denial of the willingness to help others.  Selfishness.  
 

I could care less what age group has a higher death rate.  It doesn’t signify any more willingness to do or not do something during a pandemic.   It helps to often respect others - karma can be a bitch.

Noticed that. Worldometers just subtracted the backlog. Even so we could still hit 285k

Yeah, they corrected that...

NOTE: The New Jersey Department of Health reported a backlog of 16,766 cases which Worldometer has now redistributed over the time series

Seemingly a huge backlog dump in New Jersey.

just ignore the ignorant, ass clown noise.

The problem with your post is that any age group can get covid.  

Thats the only problem with his post?!!?

Separately, sorry for you & your family's loss.  My condolences.

I am concerned that the fronts are getting smaller

The people who have a constant pathological need to downplay this virus are like the trolls we get toward the NWS when an alerted potential severe weather/tornado outbreak doesn't destroy their neighborhood. It's almost like people need to see a Contagion movie like scenario play out to feel validated.

 

If a certain prominent politician and his most ardent supporters hadn't made it a sign of weakness to want take safety precautions against this virus, I feel confident in saying it would never have been as politicized. Europe's (and most notably recently the UK's) experience with covid probably shows there would've been no easy way out with this, but I doubt we would've done worse.

 

The fact of the matter is this virus is the perfect storm precisely * because * most people are okay. It leads to too much focus on individual mortality risk, which especially the younger you get, is low, BUT still much higher than for other highly contagious infectious diseases. This has always been about collective/community risk vs individual risk and it's sad that so many people don't see that. The hospitalization metrics really tell you all you need to know about how serious this is before the horribly sad death numbers because these numbers are for covid only and obviously can go on to lessen the quality of care someone else may receive for a different ailment.

 

Would anyone ever drive if their chances of a car accident were as high as a bad non-fatal outcome from this virus, like hospitalization and/or long hauler type case or prolonged pulmonary or cardiovascular effects? Most have never said to live life cowering in fear, but to take safety steps not only lowers your own risk and your family's risk, it also can help lessen the downstream effects.

 

My whole house (my wife, 2 young kids and I) had covid back in late October-early November and yes, silver lining is our risk is much lower for now and likely significantly lower moving forward, but I never would have willingly chose the experience we went through even though it meant that it was safer to see my family for the holidays. (As an aside, I think it's quite possible our 14 year old dog died partially because of covid too.)

 

 

 

 

Sorry to hear about the passing of your dog Ricky.

Man there’s always been wackos. Look at instances like the Oklahoma City Bombing, it was inspired by conspiracy theories stemming from Ruby Ridge and Waco.

What I find fascinating is the discrepancy in medical opinions on a personal level. I have nurse friends who talk about this as the plague, and then my neighbor who is a neurologist with a degree from Vanderbilt says this whole thing is “extremely overblown” and that it’s nothing more than bronchitis to anyone under 60 that does not have a compromised immune system

There's a couple of those folk around this board as well....

Worst part of winter.  Grey.  Glacier. Dry.

Gah.  Another scientist 

It’s been rain here most of the day.  Started as sleet for 5 mins maybe.  
 

will make for nice ice shield 

If I remember, the UK hired an additional 10k people to help administer the vaccine.  Of course, we didn't take this approach.

We're now under operation tortoise when it comes to administering this.  I'm not really sure what warp speed did - Pfizer and Moderna had the vaccine variant developed prior to the formation of warp speed.  Sure the FDA fast tracked it, but not sure what else happened besides that.  The speed should have come in the administration.  It doesn't help to have it available not being put to use.  We need more people to give it out.

Nam is very aggressive with the warm push north and also tracks the low north of I70. Most guidance has shifted along or just south of I70 with sfc low track

So wait, the NAM is an outlier?

Shocker.

That spells borderline major ice storm for a lot of places if that verifies.

I feel like we've seen storms in the past that look that ugly and never seem to verify.  Warm air seems to win out and you end up with slop rain that freezes after the cold air moves in.

And let's stop the seasonal flu bullshit.  The flu does not cause blood clots or heart attacks.
