Federalism??? What federalism??? I just see states fighting over limited supplies why the "task force" just lets vaccines sit in a freezer somewhere. Listen, nobody except for a preexisting condition need this vaccine under 60. No healthy 40 year old should even think about it.

you clearly have no idea how to eradicate a disease in the long run

From reading Trevor Bedford's twitter, sequencing done, while limited, shows the UK/SA variants have not been detected here yet and are likely not currently circulating in large enough quantities so be responsible for any of the surge in the US. This includes places like LA County in particular. Not that they can't become a major factor before mass vaccination of the general population occurs in few months, but that window would be limited it appears. I would be more worried about actual evidence of mutations showing evidence of vaccine evasion, which hasn't happened yet (or been confirmed at least).

There's no way to know this because this country has not spent the money on sequencing like other countries have. 

LOL at everyone throwing in the towel on one NAM run

And lastly, New Years day. Looks like a clipper front New years eve with high pressure building in on New Years.

My map for this day.

 

Lock it in

All this back and forth.  See you Wednesday for rain total estimates.  

That and considering the ground top layer is a rock from the rain that froze.

My mom's cousin has covid.  She worked in healthcare and retired like 5 years ago but came out of retirement because of the situation.  Unclear if she contracted it at work or somewhere else, but the good news is that she is virtually asymptomatic and quite a bit of time has gone by (she had more than 1 positive test so she almost certainly really has covid).  

At the risk of restarting the conversation about the overweight/obese risk factor... this woman used to be like 300 pounds but lost about 150 pounds in the past year+.  Makes me wonder if her course of illness would've been different had she not lost all that weight.  One of those things where you're glad to never know.

All the more reason to keep working out during this... or start a new regime!  

stoked for my dab

Where's the guy with the MS paint maps?

You had to figure this would happen at some point, but perhaps not this early on.

I'll put my chips on the DAB thats coming on Christmas Eve.

Curious as to if there will be some mechanism by which you'd know that who you are around received the vaccine?

Months

I would think that there's a 5 week lag from time of first shot vs definitive immunity.... figure shot, then three weeks, then another two for the body to adjust.

Interesting read.

California reported more cases yesterday than every other country except Brazil. 

What a waste of decent precip

It is not clearly marked and you know it. The last commented subforum shows in each area, but not by name. Only by last comment 

Thanks for the sarcasm but I say again. This is the only location in American forum where such happens. 

It says “coronavirus”.  I’m not sure how much more clear it can get.  
 

move on.

Every thread in this subforum except for this one is weather chatter.  Seems like it shouldn't be difficult to avoid a thread clearly titled "coronavirus"

lol

Moderna is going to be the vaccine that really helps us get control of this pandemic if it gets approved.

I think any vaccine will help at this point.  Understanding the logistics, sure, but we need something to help us past this situation we are in now

The market is also forward looking and sees the end of the pandemic in the not too distant future. There is less and less uncertainty as we move forward with vaccinations so though there may be a temporary worsening of the economy due to lack of stimulus, the long term is looking good. My opinion.

Would it be really surprising to have a recession given the change in people's buying behaviors, government restrictions and the lack of stimulus? 

No, but it's unlikely.  This economy is not the same economy that it was earlier in the year.  The stock market reflects what is going on in big business and for what it's worth, the top big business are making money in this economy and will continue to do so.

Hospitalizations in PA supposedly fell by 200 today. Feels like a bit of a phony drop with cases +35% in last 7 days.

PA is out of control.  On a population basis it is worse than CA in terms of new cases and deaths.  Not good.

Fox Business good enough for you?

News flash: the stock market is not a measure of the economic health of the average American. 

You're right, the market isn't the economic health of the average American.  It was never meant to be. 

And Fox news?   That's your source for economic data?

I guess most economists are also engaging in hyperbole because they’re worried about the same thing.  The economy has slowed down big time since the summer.  That’s irrefutable. 

Then you need to read real economists
