This is interesting but even at the state level, there's no way to assess risk. Too much variation between cities and smaller populations.

I remember students complaining that sources I was using were from the 1970's. I'd listen and ask "So, what has changed? Go find out, report back." If they did search, it became an oppty to discuss their findings, assess research, and the longevity of knowledge.

NASA warns solar storm may hit Earth tomorrow as sunspots increase tenfold A NASA model suggests that one of the coronal mass ejections spat out from the sun in recent days may be heading towards the Earth.

Been using #HomeAssistant for a few years. What a great piece of software and project. Constant stream of updates, advanced features, updates are seamless and runs on an RPI. I pay for the cloud service which works well. Exemplary project.

I'd get an #Oura ring but the #subscription model is anti-consumer. None of the additional features should be additional. Too bad.
