Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he would do "whatever it takes" to combat the spread of coronavirus within the country — including locking down the U.S. if deemed necessary. “I would shut it down; I would listen to the scientists,” Biden told ABC’s David Muir in a joint interview with his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, to air Sunday.

Not sure that's a good idea...should be localized.

I'm thinking the POTUS will see unexpectedly high Black and Latino votes...which will clearly push him through on Nov 3.

Sometimes those drought maps don't make sense to me, but I'm sure the people doing them are correct. We're approaching 2" from this multi-day event.

We've also never had an mRNA vaccine either. The one from Moderna could be how all future vaccines are created - assuming it's successful.

It's like making a movie about a deadly hostage situation while it's still happening. Sad.

Mavic?

Well, one thing is for certain, a significant cold push is coming next weekend. Likely the coldest of the new season.

I'd call that cold blooded. 80+ for me...lol

Agreed.

And no you've got a Wind Advisory as well. 2 for 2.

“Spoke to the president this morning,” Meadows said. “He continued to improve overnight and is ready to get back to a normal working schedule.” He added that the president “will meet with his doctors and nurses this morning to make further assessments of his progress." Meadows added, “We are still optimistic that he will be able to return to the White House later today, with his medical professionals making that determination later today."

Ah, now we understand the hypocrisy. Seems to be quite prevalent these days. My wife and daughter flew to Maine and back a couple weeks ago and now getting 2-3 calls/messages per day from NYS Department of Health COVID response team saying she just visited NYC from a restricted state (which Maine is not one). She called to correct the clear error, but still getting the call - apparently the agent said there were all sorts of issues like this. Doesn't sound like the system is working quite right. She flew through PHL, and PA isn't a restricted state either.

Much needed, btw.

At night too! lol

If this does happen, I'd say we've officially moved to 2 seasons. Summer and winter...lol

A new reality in this post-COVID world. Happening everywhere.

Certainly looks like a tropical storm to me... https://en.sat24.com/en/gr/infraPolair

Can't wait for the vaccines to be available and for things to get back to normal. 2021 will be a good year...book it.

The current projected IFR from the CDC for COVID is 0.65, Flu is 0.10 (although H3N2 is higher) ....so about 6.5x based on that projection.

There should be a national standard as to death classification in regards to COVID. What Colorado did, changing the way they count COVID deaths (with vs by) seems reasonable as it gives more detail to the data. However, what is the precedent? How are flu deaths counted? It seems logical to follow precedent.

Check out the 1992-98 time frame. Didn't Mt. Pinatubo erupt in 1991 or something?

Read this too. Can anyone find this same data for the flu? Particularly H3N2? Would be interesting to compare. In 2018 80,000 Americans died in that season.

Same here. Quite the bust, I'd say.

Interesting that some structures looked totally untouched.
