This is spot on. I feel like there were many times while I lived on the East Side that we would just get hammered with snow and the West Side towards Hopkins had a lot less. I just think especially with lake effect, it tends to roll in through the East Side more. As someone who loves snow, it was awesome being on the East Side.

Not that your comparison of weather to stocks is valid but have you ever heard of a stock heat map? There are many ways to visualize different types of data and using a map to visual weather is hardly controversial.

Have you tried posting on facebook or nextdoor?

It's normal content -- when you following your portfolio you look at sliding window of particular stock(s) behavior trying to find moment when to sell and when to buy. And does not matter if data represented in a graphical format or as a table.

Yes we've had considerable immunity for a long time at this point. Sweden did a largely hands off approach which the world should have followed. People are going to get COVID forever but it's never going to be killing people to any degree which is worth worrying about. We have plenty of tools to help elderly and at risk people. I don't own a business but am good friends with multiple who do.

And it represented it perfectly. And not always northern areas get more snow. So you assumption is incorrect. Are familiar with conception of gradient? Yeah, it's a math conception but it's heavily used in meteorology. Very often days are presented to reflect gradient of something. And sometimes color is used to reflect gradients.

I spent too much time in that joint in the late 90s but it was further down Smallman than whisky dicks. I believe metropol/rosebud (at least) were in between.

I'm trying to avoid dealing with the crappy scheduling, service, insurance, and billing experiences that both me and my SO have dealt with personally with both UPMC and AHN. Not political at all. In fact, it's exactly because I care about my heart health (and mental health) that I'm trying to avoid these two networks. But...thanks for the helpful..."advice"? 🙄

I know people complain about it (and it's probably unnecessary for the first two to three years after purchasing a brand new car to require inspection in most cases), but you definitely notice a difference with the quality of cars on the road in states like Ohio and Michigan where there are no inspections compared to PA.

Was just thinking this morning how much I hate winter but how pretty the snow on the trees look. I’m a little north of downtown so maybe it’s not as slushy/grey up here?

At least we still inspect our vehicles!

Then go back? No one's keeping you.

So you're repeating the Great Barrington stuff, which postulated that we'd hit herd immunity within three months and the disease would fade from view.
 
We're going into the fourth year of this disease, it's still killing hundreds of thousands of people every year, and it should be quite clear at this point that herd immunity isn't going to happen.
 
> That would mean letting the young healthy people especially live as they wish and start building that immunity.

 
I know people on their fourth infection. If you can keep getting it over and over, what immunity are they building?

 
Do you own a restaurant or something? Your approach here seems to be "don't hinder businesses in any way, let all the weak die, and if we ignore it maybe it'll go away eventually."

 
We've basically been doing that for the past twenty months, and it isn't working.

 
"If we stop looking at the monster maybe it'll go away" isn't a public health policy, it's just magical thinking. This idea that society, schools, businesses, etc could have just carried on as normal during the largest mass death event in American history is just more magical thinking.

Just focus on protecting elderly and higher risk people. At that time we didn't even know if and when vaccines would be around. We basically had to rely on herd immunity. That would mean letting the young healthy people especially live as they wish and start building that immunity. The only time any draconian policy would be necessary is when hospitals are actually stressed. That period was very brief and concentrated in a select few areas. Like NYC where they had huge outbreaks in nursing homes

Hahaha.

It looks like what you're saying here is that we shouldn't have mounted any sort of societal response to covid-19 at all, and just went about our lives as though nothing was happening.
 

Do you think things would have went better with a highly contagious respiratory pandemic if we completely ignored it and pretended it wasn't going around killing people? What's the end game with that sort of approach?

No humor I guess….sorry for your loss

Forcing businesses to close or limit their capacities (unless they are Walmart). Then spending billions in relief to fix the self imposed financial crisis. Requiring kids to have school remotely so parents might even have to resort to limiting their own work and income to support it. Requiring vaccine mandates for jobs outside of the medical field resulting in people quitting or being let go if they didn't want to get it. Media scaring the hell out of people with a death counter on screen 24/7 so that they continue to support any policy which might save literally one more life on Earth (at least from COVID).

Hmm. Interesting. In what ways do you think we overreacted?

Yes. That's the amazing thing.

Oakland.

Where I'm at it was all pretty here with all the snow, too. You know, while you were driving through Ohio.

We overreacted to a disease that killed over a million Americans and is the leading cause of death that isn't heart disease or cancer for three years running? News to me.
