    Very dark here at work in Marlborough, MA. About to really come down here.

    I'm selling anything stalling a storm out at close to our latitude

    Minimal hurricane at landfall is not impossible, but any hiccup in intensification tend and that's off the table. w/only 6-7 hours until landfall.

    Mortality due to heat and cold tends to get neglected because there is no shocking images for the news to show. No destroyed buildings, reporter in 75 mph winds or picture of a wedge tornado.

    Was looking at the CDC excess mortality data and you can clearly see 1 week spikes in deaths in Oregon and Washington the week of July 3. Compared to the baseline of adjacent weeks, the heatwave appears to be responsible for ~150 deaths in Oregon and ~300-400 deaths in Washington. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/11/climate/deaths-pacific-northwest-heat-wave.html This NY times chart shows this clearly.

    Two borderline oppressive days Thursday and Friday. Its summer. COC after Saturday though.

    https://github.com/akarlinsky/world_mortality This is one of the best place I have found to track excess mortality. Numbers are not available for many countries unfortunately, but it gives a sense of who is reporting accurately and who is not. US, western Europe, and a big surprisingly, most of South America is fairly accurate, including Brazil.

    I agree the evolutionary end point is very likely going be another common cold. Once enough of the general population develops immunity, mortality rates will drop to negligible levels. Numbers out of the UK show they are heading in that direction (Current CFR of ~0.3% there, only slightly higher than the flu). At that point young children will be exposed to it like any more common coronavirus, the bodily develops immunity and it won't cause severe disease later in life.

    Schools should definitely be in person. Primarily and secondary especially. So many kids have fallen behind on development already.
  14. dan11295
    Or if their is one mortality/hospital impact should remain low.

    the HRRR from last night was clearly out to lunch and too far SE. That had 0.90" for Bridgeport, CT and they have had 2" in last 3 hours.

    Got the gust front here then storms came through about 3:30 am some wind, nothing close to severe.

    All time State record highs are 117 in OR and 118 in WA. Probably some chance the OR record gets broken today.

    https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions Based on CDC data, Missouri has a highest percentage of Delta variant of states those data is listed. (~30% as of 6/5 so its probably dominant variant there now.). That is likely not a coincidence. No idea why it has taken a quicker foothold there. Some of that is random chance I think based on who travels when with what variant.
  20. dan11295
    Yeah, headlines like "cases up 75%" which lack context relative to overall numbers (and currently mortality rates) are pretty meaningless. Same goes for "x variant found in y location". These are just headlines designed to grab readers attention even though the information by itself isn't that important, IMHO. Regarding the risk thing above, I agree. My state of Mass is averaging ~50 cases/day out of 6 million people.
  21. dan11295
    IIRC in Mass. at least if you pull into an intersection to make a left and stop in the intersection and you get hit, you are basically always at fault, even if the other party ran a red light, ignored stop sign etc.
  22. dan11295
    https://covariants.org/per-country Here is some data showing variant percentages in some countries. Many of the countries where Delta has become dominant are seeing increases in cases. e.g. UK, Portugal, Russia, Indonesia, even though it is summer in the NH. Latter two countries on this list (Russia, Indonesia) are seeing notable increase in deaths, and are also lagging in vaccinations. Finland and Canada however are still seeing declining cases so far.
  23. dan11295
    Next test for the US is when Delta is responsible for >50% of cases here. That is when numbers began going back up in the UK. But that wont be for another 1-2 months. Also am watching mortality in the UK. If mortality stays very low there like it is currently, its means the vaccines are doing their job.

    Reminds me of a weather channel report a long time ago during a snowstorm where they had Cantore on the ground in Natick. The front desk was going to the live report and said "Cantore is in 'na-tick' (instead of 'NA-tick') and he immediately started shaking his head.

    Had my 2nd Moderna this past Saturday. Had soreness and redness on the arm for a couple of days, plus a bit tired. not too much else beyond that. 7-day case average here in Mass is now under 100. Delta variant in the fall is still a bit of a wild card. Still a bit of a guessing game what things look like mortality-wise compared to say a "typical" flu season.
