Home gardens are key. I suggest people plant what they can and help neighbors. Corn is next up soon as this cold pattern passes.

I’ve been struggling to motivate to get my garden going this year because I always have way, way too much for personal use. This is the motivation I needed.

Lab flu deaths are minimal; they model them every year. Per CDC - Total deaths per week: Week 2 - 2020 - 59,151 deaths Week 2 - 2018 - 67,495 deaths Week 2 - 2016 - 55,525 deaths Week 2 - 2014 - 55,620 deaths Quick can someone check if there was a hurricane or tsunami in January 2018? I am trying to figure out how we had a 20% increase in the overall mortality rate that year. Just to be completely factual and realistic: Week 14 - 2020 - 49,292 deaths (100% reporting) Week 14 - 2019 - 56,595 deaths Week 14 - 2018 - 55,294 deaths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40westwx Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Just doing quick dumb dumb math in my head.. I would venture to say 150,000 to 200,000 people died from the flu in 2018. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts on this welcome from @mappy I guess it depends on what it is you want to see when you map by them zip code. If you just want to see counts, then the map on the left is fine. The map on the right is similar to population density. By doing the dasymetic map, you are taking that zip code data and adding additional spatial information, like buildings/residents in each as the creator said. I like them both for the purpose they serve. But if you just want to see counts by zip code then the map on the left is fine. I'm not sure how you figure out that buildings that can house 100 units would have the majority of cases, unless you know the personal information of all those cases... and i dont think that data is legally available due to HIPAA. So not sure how true the second map actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
