This makes some sense. Covid cases are booming in Chicago. SF is seeing some rise too, but it's doing quite well compared to the rest of the country. Chicago is seeing 48k new cases per 1M in the last 60 days, while SF is seeing about ~6k. (though also being a smaller city makes it easier to implement policies)
- LeifCarrotson 6y agoThanks for the per capita numbers. As someone currently undergoing Chicago-like weather, I wonder how much climate has anything to do with it. The Windy City is near freezing people near me that were begrudgingly complying with the guidelines took advantage of our Indian summer, choosing to eat on patios and social distance in backyards, have given up entirely and are choosing to dine in and gather in houses.
- blendo 6y ago> I wonder how much climate has anything to do with it. I'm going to opine that climate in SF helps a lot. I've lived in SF 25 years. All summer the uniform is long sleeve shirt w/under shirt. Light jacket for evenings/outings. Light to moderate wind. Only a week or so of hot/90F temperatures. It's turning toward winter now, so we're adding a sweater and water-resistant jacket. Moderate winds. I've never needed a down coat. In other words, we can pretty easily socialize outside and/or keep windows open, so any Covid virus tends to quickly disperse.
