Another big increase...

During "normal" times it is extremely common to see most hospitals on yellow, red, and reroute but since Covid-19 it has become a rarity to see hospitals on these alerts. People that normally use the hospitals for "non-emergency" reasons are too worried in going to hospitals to catch Covid-19. Listening to Anne Arundel Fire, the call volume that you normally hear is much lower except for the calls for potential Covid-19 and other day to day emergencies (Falls, Diabetic, Car Accidents, etc.).

It was a beautiful day in Annapolis. A little windy still though.

Decent amount of people but not to much. It is a pretty large store so it was easy to distance between people. Food supply was really good. The past couple weeks, it was hard to find spinach/salads but they were fully stocked this time. They had it all: Meats, Dairy, Canned Goods, Bread, Fruits, Vegetables, Frozen Stuff. They just didn't have any toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, or liquid soap.

Went to the local grocery store for the first time in 8 days. All staff (Bakery, Cashiers, Stockers, Maintenance, etc.) had surgical masks on and all were wearing gloves. They had also installed a plexiglass sheet up between the cashier and the credit card machine. They also roped off the area around the self service donuts and had signs that stated if you wanted any donuts to ask a bakery employee for assistance. I would say at least 95% of the shoppers had masks on and gloves. I didn't have a mask on but felt safe with all the shoppers and staff wearing one! A lot of changes in 8 days!! Still no toilet paper, paper towels, or napkins.

Agree. Counties and states might invest more in their public health agencies, obtain more supplies, apply more mitigation efforts in the short term (1-2 years) but doubt it lasts in the longer term. Budgets dry up and these efforts and investments are the first on the chopping block. Money will be diverted to more pressing needs once this is over because the American people will forget about it and won't care that mitigation and preparedness efforts aren't being made until the next pandemic happens.

Not sure if there is a way to go back to previous "model runs" or not but I did take a couple screenshots before of the previous update for Maryland. Peak Changed from April 29th to April 18th Peak Deaths Per Day Increased From 53 deaths (April 28th) to 138 deaths (April 19th) Total Deaths Increased from 1,766 deaths to 2,326 deaths Pretty big increase for Maryland

haha Quarantine & work-from-home... What's that? The only difference at my work is more phone calls/emails, some closing of sections of the park, and a much shorter commute (20-25 minutes!).

My position doesn't have the availability to telework. Just trying to avoid contact as much as possible and wearing gloves at work when having to interact with the public. I was surprised the roads were pretty busy this morning going to work. Schools being closed did lessen some traffic in areas that I travel by schools.

Some flurries earlier. Fun!

Snowing in Annapolis. Big flakes but doesn't appear to be sticking.

Snow finally just started to mix in in Annapolis. Temp 39

A balmy 45 degrees in Annapolis. Pretty sunrise this morning. Always going to be a good snowstorm when temperatures push to 50 four hours before it is supposed to start.

Another foggy morning.

Really foggy today. It seems we had a lot of foggy days this month.

Frosty morning. No fog on my commute to Annapolis.

More rain. Fun! 41 Degrees

Porch, Sidewalks, and roads are just wet. Trees are icy.

In a lull right now. Mod-Heavy Snow for hours. Never noticed any sleet though. 4.50-5 inches.

Good to see someone confirming it. Heard it in Pasadena!

Definitely sounded like thunder but don't see any lightning strikes on the maps.

Thunder???!!!!
