Since this is a weather forum, Mr. Moderator, I have sleepless nights due to dry slot fears with just about every Snowstorm, LOL. NW Ohio is notorious for the nefarious Dry Slot.
Wait, were you referring to politics??
Weird. Here in Toledo I'd say it's like 1% that doesn't were a mask. Actually, I was in Kroger just today and didn't see a single person without a mask. We have very different Governors though. DeWine has actually had a great balance.
I feel that mortality rates are highly dependent on many variables, one being viral load. Viral load due to the Summer environment(High UV and RH) made for lots of mild symptom/asymptomatic cases. That is gonna change with this wave, in my opinion.
Just remember that the current death numbers are from people that got sick a month ago when our numbers were around 40K a day. At 80K+ now, we'll see the affects of that around Thanksgiving. Hope this is wrong, but 2-3K a day is the consequence of what's happening now.
We are definitely rounding the corner here in Ohio. Should be in the clear by Thanksgiving......

The denial of this is absurd,
The more I hear about warm forecasts, especially from JB, the more I'll prepare for a Cold/Snowy Winter. Especially after last years fiasco. 13-14' was supposed to be a mild winter IRC...
Clearly i'm a bit jaded after last years hype.
