I like to base it off of current deaths. For North Dakota it’s around 16% but in reality it’s a bit higher since death counts are delayed
-
Wyoming with 971 cases today. More than doubling their previous daily record.
-
record number of cases and deaths in Wisconsin today(6114 and 62 respectively)
-
record high temp in Madison today
-
small sample sizes and anecdotes aren't reality
-
lol golf courses were open here after the first couple weeks of the pandemic. which is when they would open for the season anyway
-
It's 2020 so no. But actually looking into it, looking like a western trough may develop after the 10th or so and eject some energetic systems through our sub. That's model mirage range though so I'm not horribly optimistic
-
Counterpoint would be those 415 AM sunrises during the summer without DST.

One important thing for mental health is for people to realize there will be a time when we are past this pandemic. It may not be for another 6 months to a year but there will be a time we can regain a sense of normalcy. Even if it means getting a vaccine every six months it'll be worth it. Especially as we get into these winter months with things like seasonal depression and family stress it's important to keep a hopeful attitude about the future.

The lack of sea ice on the Siberian side of the arctic is really causing some interesting patterns.
-
Wisconsin up to about 30 deaths per 100,000 from Covid. Still only about 40% of South Carolina's death rate of 74 per 100,000. Still a long ways from having as bad of an outbreak.
-
Huge fire event may happen in California early next week. welcome to the new normal
-
I think people forget how nature works sometimes. You could get Covid from someone being by them for 1 minute. The odds are much lower than 15 minutes but its still there. Just like there's no magic barrier at 6 feet. Sure it goes down further away from that but its not like there's a magical barrier where someone 7 feet away can't give you covid.

people like to apply reasoning for disease spread to fit their personal beliefs. in reality humans are imperfect and this disease can spread easily so there are many, many variables for disease spread and not just one specific government decision.
-
I would also like to point out that before this Wisconsin was 43rd in deaths per capita out of all states so it had been doing well keeping cases and deaths low. Out of all states for an outbreak to currently occur in, it makes sense that it's happening in Wisconsin.
-
48 deaths in Wisconsin today. The record case numbers of the past few weeks are now coming to roost
-
Snow Squall Warning along I80 in the Des Moines area
-
There are ideas that the Russian Flu in the late 1800s was actually the introduction of one of the common coronaviruses we have today. There were a lot more neurological symptoms with it than normally occur with the flu
-
Guessing it’s more around 0.5-0.7% when it’s all said and done. Started around the high end at the beginning and will get to the lower end as we get better treatments. Some states like Utah and Alaska have a CFR in that range right now
-
North Dakota only has 13 ICU beds available. The city of Bismarck only has 1 left. I'm guessing the closest city with ICU beds is hours away
-
you know it's the cold season when forecast discussions talk about early evening lows with temps rising throughout the night.
-
I think the biggest lesson is that you can't completely eradicate the disease in western societies, so the big goals are the slow the spread by encouraging mask wearing, not allowing mass gatherings and letting people who can work from home work from home and other common sense measures to keep hospital numbers down
-
the ride never ends
-
looking like a good chance for some flurries if not outright snow N of a line from The Quad Cities to Chicago to Detroit over the next 4 or 5 days
-
looks like troughing last over the east for at least a week or two. The GEFS and CFS have a relatively weak vortex through the period which goes hand and hand with the blocking pattern.
