https://www.al.com/news/2020/05/montgomery-running-out-of-icu-beds-as-coronavirus-cases-double-in-may.html Summer won't save us if we don't keep up social distancing measures of no large gatherings and limited people in group indoor spaces.

should be a legitimate chance of severe weather Sat-Mon in the subforum

It's a lot easier to get Gulf of Mexico moisture when the GOM is in your front yard.

hundreds of millions of years ago, the midwest was under a shallow sea. I always thought it would be cool to see what that would be like, what I didn't know is that I'd get to see it in my lifetime.

It's crazy how much wetter the 30 year climate means will be when the data set changes from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020 For MSN Jan 1.23" -> 1.46" Feb 1.45" -> 1.52" Mar 2.19" -> 2.26" Apr 3.40" -> 3.78" May 3.55" -> 4.02" (at least) Jun 4.54" -> 5.27" (estimated) Jul 4.18" -> 4.34" (estimated) Aug 4.26" -> 4.27" (estimated) Sep 3.13" -> 3.37" (estimated) Oct 2.40" -> 2.73" (estimated) Nov 2.39" -> 2.21" (estimated) Dec 1.75" -> 1.71" (estimated) Only December and November have seen slight decreases in precip and some months (Apr - Jun, Sep - Oct) have seen significant increases in precip.

also its crazy that most of Kansas has not had a tornado watch yet this year. In fact the state only had its first tornado last night.

Look at how paltry tornado watches have been across the northern half of the area the past year (or couple years)

Yeah, I've been doing calculations of how much of each state has been infected based on the fatalities and an assumed fatality rate of 0.7% and I have about 3.5% of people in Indiana infected right now which seems to match that data. Based on that only 4 states have had more than 10% of the population infected, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. And 15 states have had less than 1% of people infected.

Overall I’d say better. It doesn’t overmix like the HRRR does and has a more realistic convective representation than the 3KNAM. It’s not perfect but definitely an upgrade. It’s nailed a couple events in the past month that the others have whiffed on

Honestly this pandemic has been great motivation for me to get back in shape. With the lack of things to do/lack of places to eat out and the general fact that this hits people in poor health harder I’ve been working out more than I ever had. Lost 20 pounds since early March and hope to keep it going

I just got done with a good workout, I'm sitting out on the patio and I'm about to grill some dinner, I haven't been this chilled in awhile. I don't want to antagonize, we're all in this together and you have a lot of good points, but when I see incorrect information being used and I have the correct data, I have an obligation to spread the correct information. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ This site has more updated values (they scrape the data daily from each states websites), where you'll see that South Carolina is one of the laggards(along with a handful of midwestern states). Sure South Carolina is doing some good things, like loosening the lockdown, having a reasonable reopening strategy etc. but testing ain't one of those things, and until testing is an order of magnitude better, you (and a lot of other states) won't truly be in front of this

I think you guys are doing a reasonable job opening up but to say you are in line with the rest of states in testing is an outright lie, you have the second least amount of tests per capita in the nation, the US average is 30k tests per million and there are 20 states with over 30k test per 1M so no there aren't just "a few outliers"

It's a good thing y'all are ramping up testing because your current testing numbers are paltry.

HRRRv4 says wagons north, I'm gonna ride my new God tier model.

Almost a who's who of the bluest counties in America.

Interesting to see both these pieces of information come out at the same time

that's how some diseases work. the 1918 flu disproportionately affected young healthy people

also we are much less accustomed to death now. when someone in middle age dies these days we treat it as a shock and something that should be avoided, rather than 100 years ago when it was commonplace for children and young adults to die often(from disease, starvation, war etc.) as humanity progresses we accept less death and for the most part that's a good thing.

what does this even mean?

Once again this thread is just proving how polarizing online discussions become. We either get people complaining about people being out and about without masks or sharing images that make beaches look much more crowded than they are or sharing fake stories about how the new world order has brought this disease upon us to destroy our freedoms and parroting some online information from very questionable sources. Very few people here are actually discussing a productive way to handle this disease.

also disappointed but not shocked by the anti vaccination thoughts here. it doesn't make your immune system weaker, it's provoking the exact same response in your body as if you actually got the disease, that's why it's effective. Though maybe you are right and we should go back to having 15 million deaths a year due to smallpox and 500,000 deaths from polio each year. There's a reason life expectancy has gone up so much in the past 100 years and its not because we're eating more cheeseburgers.

This will be inherently more deadly than the flu because no one has any prior immunity from previous exposure or a vaccine like millions upon millions do every flu season, this is a fact that cannot be denied or argued.
