The CDC has continued to increase their resources surrounding COVlD forecasting.
Three critical pieces of information:
🔥The summer wave is coming
🔥The wave magnitude is highly uncertain
🔥The South/SE and West will get hit hardest
Agreed on all fronts.
Carol & Hubert are healthy happy siblings who are very social 💓
Please consider adopting them together or separately, they don’t want to spend their first Birthday at the rescue 😢

@HedgieMarkets As the orders started being placed, started ok but then the employee accidentally dropped an order on the floor and while dealing with that, orders kept coming on the conveyor belt and falling off the end.
@HedgieMarkets During the first dotcom boom, had one older employee telling me about an expensive IBM? project in the 60's or 70s to build an automated burger place where humans only took the orders.
@elaifresh@dioscuri Hiking the PCT right now; being able to hike 20+ miles in day also changes how one thinks about distance. Though sadly, no Da Brim products for hikers
If >50% of a state's sites are "very low," the CDC labels the state as "very low."
The CDC should provide a national map showing each site so hotspots are obvious. They do not.
In fact, on April 10, the CDC took away the ability to even share a direct link to state pages.
