Frog Town Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 OMG, I just had a revaluation. The GFS Model upgrade was so good, it was able to foresee the Virus coming and confused it for an epic Snow Season. All the Models saw this coming. They just got the micro physics mixed up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 No ball to watch on TV so I came across Mike Rowes (Dirty Jobs guy) "How Booze Built America". Explains everything going on today lol. Edit: I swear don't know how I missed this, it's the best show I've seen in ages. Maybe it was the booze lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No jury trials, minimal motions to be heard, etc. The kids are absolutely not going to be back in school until mid April at the earliest. Absolute insanity. The CDC basically came out and said that 8 week closures would be better than 2-4 weeks. Should schools go to that, then many may not be returning before the end of the school year. Does start to create an issue about whether final exams would be administered online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the supermarkets can stay open, utilities and mail can march on, we can have some semblance of normal life. If there is a supply line disruption, then things are going to get out of hand fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm no doctor but to me, all other things being equal, it makes sense that warm weather would help slow it down to some extent. Factors arguing the other way are that this is a novel virus that is very contagious, so perhaps the dropoff rate in warm weather won't be as large as we see with other viruses. How far we are willing to go with mitigation in the coming weeks could also play a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touristy places would also counteract that, and these are areas that were popular with tourists when this started to spread. I grant your Australia inclusion though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is why I am skeptical of the "warm weather is going to magically eradicate this" argument that some people have been making. It is a novel virus that nobody has immunity to because, well, it's novel. All I am saying is that you'd probably rather have it be 90/humid than having more moderate temperatures. Medical community will be learning a lot more about this no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Rogan has a podcast where he has a medical expert on as a guest.. he said the thought that this virus just goes away with the season change is absolutely false.

Hoosier Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 A guy in Kentucky refused to self quarantine. Now this: In Nelson County, the 53-year-old man who tested positive refused to go into self-isolation, defying medical advice, and had to be forced into home isolation. Law enforcement is currently stationed outside of the man’s home, Beshear said. https://www.kentucky.com/news/health-and-medicine/article241205151.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
