mappy

its not meaningless but its also not super helpful either.

I think the point being discussed is that we cannot trust the CFR numbers and use it as a good indicator moving forward. the data isnt complete. cases are going unreported. deaths are going unreported.

I think early stuff, CFR numbers, etc.

yes of course. but that narrative, again, is to be expected. if we hadn't closed down things and the death toll was 10x what it is now, you'd have people saying we didn't do enough and everyone in charge has got to go. there is no happy middle. and those who are happy in the middle aren't saying it out loud because they know their place.

ugh. there went my ability to agree. we destroyed lives! because we overreacted! ermahgerd can you even imagine the lives lost if we had continued business as usual in march?

^^ not wrong

Ha, get used to that narrative, friend. Its coming. Saw this yesterday and me laugh. spot on for many.

yes, but to be fair we don't have nearly enough data. phineas isn't wrong in that the current models and mortality rates, etc... are all showing a picture that isn't true to reality.

SPC did great imo, with the risk areas too. 103 confirmed tornadoes so far from Sunday/Monday

I’m pretty sure it’s PD3. I broke his account a while back (lol). Randy fixed it yesterday, but I had told him to make a new account. If it’s not him, then I don’t know Omg I meant to post over at pr about it. Dude...it’s great.

Thanks for checking in and sharing your experience. Glad you’re doing okay despite all the issues. Hang in there.

lol

I think a backlog of local cases was released today. All surrounding zip codes have 1-3 cases. Yesterday all were 0

Whelp, my nice 0 case zip code is no longer at 0. 2 confirmed cases

As someone who works with data, all the time, I approve this post. I’m sure some of it may be impractical now, but in the end the more data the better!

I’m sorry! I know that has got to be so tough to explain This earlier convo prompted me to do that same. Before/after care is at liberty of schools, my private daycare lady has to be cleared by the state to open. I don’t believe she was deemed an essential at home daycare

Baltimore county hasn’t been great. We were supposed to get two weeks worth of stuff, last week. Still nothing. It’s online, but at first grade most of it needs to be done on paper. We’ve printed things as we’ve needed them. She gets one hour a week of face time with her class and teacher. Not enough, IMO. But I know it’s tough for everyone

Same. Understand the heart ache I saw your post. Teacher friends I have haven’t heard anything

I’m expecting schools to stay closed. Everyone gets punted to the next grade level, seniors graduate and so on. It will suck but they can’t hold kids back and they can’t restart. So unless they expect kids to go to school during the summer...there are no other options. so the biggest issue for my house, and I assume many others, is we have a kid at home who isn’t old enough to stay home alone, with two parents whose offices are now open and we are expected to show up. Without a childcare plan in place, it means one of us has to stay home, until school starts again. It’s not feasible. Our offices are understanding now, because everything is shut down...but how understanding will they be if things open up and we still stay home? I’d hope understanding but who the hell knows what these corporate minds think. im just rambling now about my own concerns moving forward. I want things to be as close to normal as everyone else does, but I understand the risk. I’m glad Hogan is already putting a plan in motion on how to reopen. It’s reassuring, but man sooo many variables to consider.

June 1 will work IF they allow daycares to reopen, even if it’s limited kids allowed. Without something in place for kids it’s going to be really hard to get at home working parents back in offices.

cool

i'm technically essential, well, my company is. but i've been working from home for weeks now. as long as schools are closed, i won't be in the office.

not something i would openly advertise.

lol nope. been producing deliverables for weeks now without issue. big air force contract in full swing

Hogans 4 steps to open up the state 1. increase testing, goal is to do 10K tests a day. working on partnerships with whatever private labs they can to make this happen 2. increasing hospital surge capacity, particularly in MoCo, PG, Charles counties where cases are higher. More response tents to be available 3. ramping up supply of PPE, deliveries coming in daily... 4.5 million n95 masks expected to arrive in the next week. 4. Contact tracing - 250 people working on that now, but plan to expand to 1,000 people dedicated to contact tracing full thread of points here
