These pandemics are Mother Nature’s way of saying, “you screwed up”. Messing with things that we shouldn’t, destroying entire species and habitats. There is always a reason for everything. The planet we live on exists because of balance, and when human beings screw up that balance, the natural response is to re-balance. There are too many people on this planet doing too many stupid things and I’m not talking about “climate change”. I am saying that human beings have screwed up the planet. That is a fact. We apparently cannot reverse our course and un-right our wrongs. Fires will burn, storms will destroy, disease will run rampant, and people will die. That’s life. Have a nice day!
So your saying that leaf blowers are not much of a problem in the big scheme of things?
We won’t go from a taste of climate change to full blown climate change catastrophe in a season.
Top experts believe climate change is gradual but relentlessly constant. Every year, we’ll see slightly more weather events and slightly more severe weather. The effects do compound, so technically if left unchecked long enough, the effects year to year become more impactful. It’s a snowball affect & we’re near the beginning of the snowball.
Where this becomes an issue is when destructive weather patterns become so constant that countries can’t recover. We’ll see constant states of emergency around the country.
The coasts will be under assault by nature. Powerful storms will become the new normal.
Thing about climate change is it makes it harder for water to go farther inland. Powerful storms usually dissipate closer inland where weaker storms have a chance to get further inland before dissipating. This means less fresh drinking water further inland. It will get to the point that too far inland will become hard to inhabit & we’ll see migration closer to the coastlines.
Can’t be too close to the shores because of the storms. Can’t be too far away from them because of the droughts. Humanity will be restricted to a thin Goldilocks zone & you best believe there will be class and race warfare over the most valuable land in that Goldilocks zone. Humanity already suffers from overpopulation & climate change lowers the planets capacity to host more humans. It’s a recipe for disaster that gets worse every year we ignore it.
Leaf blowers not a big problem, just a nuisance. Although, I do use one at my house.
Only three today that a good, relief for a change. I hope one, day we see zero cases would be a miracle but we will get to the point to always see more numbers at least I see just a single digit number for a change
And yet still we will be ordered to shelter in place, wear masks in public and probably some other things they will dream up until we drive those numbers into negative territory.
Three new cases is good news and shows that shelter in place and social distancing are working. The # in hospital is down by 4 (and without any deaths) to 25. # tested dropped and is 307 more than yesterday’s total.
With 820 Confirmed Covid Cases in CCC and a total of 25 deaths (in CCC) = a local kill rate of 3.0%. Simple math – not manipulating numbers.
Not a political statement.
While true, it also needs to be understood that confirmed cases is by no means total cases (at best case, it’s a lower bound); this is due to multiple significant factors (primarily limited test availability but also folks with non-severe symptoms being told to just stay in and not come to be tested, etc.).
A personal example of this is with my BIL and his wife. My BIL was a very early confirmed case in CA (pre-lockdown) who only got to be tested because his exposure vector was also a confirmed case and he has other medical conditions. His symptoms were fortunately very mild, but he was definitely confirmed too. Now his wife, who didn’t take much extra precautions when taking care of him beyond staying home, ended up having nearly identical (fortunately mild) symptoms, but was never tested as they were mild and she didn’t have other at risk conditions so she isn’t a confirmed case but very likely had it. While this is just one example, I have no doubt there’s many similar stories.
Now mortality rate is also somewhat inaccurate too (i.e. there may be additional at-home deaths from COVID that were unconfirmed cases) although I would expect those numbers to be a bit more accurate than infection count as people deathly sick tend to try to get medical intervention and at home deaths tend to be reported/investigated.
