mappy

anyone who thinks we will be all hunkydoory by fall is fooling themselves. don't expect "normal" any time soon, if this year at all. masks in public for a good while, social distance while in public, cancelled mass gathering events (concerts, sports). its going to take time before things are truly back to normal. be patient people.

can i come and be under stay-at-home orders with you?

and if public support doesn't wane? then what?

"well" is not a good enough criteria to use to open states. Come up with something else.

i think we need to define "well" for this to be a serious discussion.

THIS

your suggestions are not outlandish, but i think your time table is. This week is too soon. Next week is too soon. The week after is too soon. I know you don't agree, but sadly thats the case. You open up this week, or next, or the week after, and you've got a huge problem on your hands. As we keep trying to tell you.

sigh

I agree, they aren't helpful. All I ask is that you all (general you all) correct others in a nicer way when they do it. if you (general you) wanna sling mud, i can point you to the place to do it. (its not here)

and i appreciate you setting him straight. you could have done without this: stop posting this nonsense unless you have facts to back it up. We aren't going to be doing that here. Its fine you wanna correct someone, but I am telling you to find a better way to do it.

I think we can reply to people without scolding them about nonsense. thats how shit gets started. thanks for posting those polls, though, trixie.

I think +47 deaths (was 584 yesterday, 631 today)

hahaha, all in good fun

i always get a kick when people copy directly out of articles and it shows when your font changes.

I guess it depends on what it is you want to see when you map by them zip code. If you just want to see counts, then the map on the left is fine. The map on the right is similar to population density. By doing the dasymetic map, you are taking that zip code data and adding additional spatial information, like buildings/residents in each as the creator said. I like them both for the purpose they serve. But if you just want to see counts by zip code then the map on the left is fine. I'm not sure how you figure out that buildings that can house 100 units would have the majority of cases, unless you know the personal information of all those cases... and i dont think that data is legally available due to HIPAA. So not sure how true the second map actually is.

Not sure, but they have been consistently inconsistent with each other for weeks. I try and stick with JH data if/when I do count difference.

i used JH data. 787,960 yesterday at 8am to 825,306 at 8am today

damn, 37K cases yesterday, 2700 deaths. yikes.

these flu comparisons are starting to get really silly.

I do believe winds were supposed to pick up following the front, but not sure its passed you yet?
