I doubt that, most states are on the upswing in cases besides the Dakotas and maybe Wisconsin. Also we are still waiting on a few more states to drop today, including part of california, kansas and nebraska

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/17/health/coronavirus-immunity.html Good news today, study shows that immunity can last for many years for 90% of patients. Obviously contradicts some of the other things we have heard but falls in line with the idea that rapid reinfections are a small minority of cases
-
cases down vs. the same day last week for the first time in a long time in WI. Hospitalizations still up 180 and a record 92 deaths today
-
Rapper Jeremih is in the ICU on a ventilator with COVID. He's 33 with no known preexisting conditions.
-
guess that means that this is much more deadly than we thought, if cases are much lower. yikes
-
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)
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Looks like a chance for more development in the Western Caribbean after 10/15, but climo says that should stay east of Louisiana
-
If that's the case I'll have started the most popular thread in forum history. My only hope is for more moisture, in whatever form. I can handle warm if there are storms to track
