In North Texas, it’s currently 3F (-16C) with a wind chill of -15F (-26C). My little family is one of 1.5 million that haven’t had power in 28 hours. So, safe to say, I won’t be posting about epidemiology for a few days until we defrost.

Love, YLE
I hereby nominate Steve McCauley as Your Local Climatologist. 😂
Hope everyone has been staying warm and safe these last few days.
Stay warm!
I know you'll have a lot to catch up on, but if you're looking for ideas, would love thoughts on this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9262397/How-California-Florida-took-different-approaches-ended-result.html
I'm in Los Angeles and support everything our mayor and governor have done... so I'm skeptical of this article.
