    Much of the success for flattening the eventual 2nd spike with COVID19, as with any significant public health incident, is political leadership and intelligence of the population of a location.
  2. Eskimo Joe
    These are the signs you want to see for the flattening out and eventual lowering of the curve.

    It's entirely reasonable to expect at least a treatment protocol for COVID-19 by the end of 2020. There are several promising treatment protocols being studied and this would at least provide us with options to significantly lower the mortality rate going forward.

    Couple of rounds of wet weather...Thursday night and then Saturday night. Good for the lawns at least.

    I wish more states mapped COVID like this, instead of by zip code. Thoughts on this welcome from @mappy

    Solid cell near Ellicott City. Putting down some continuous CG and spiking VIL a bit.

    SPC issues SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH until 21:00 UTC

    It's entirely possible to get a dump of small hail stones from sub-severe storms today. There are several mPING report in the 0.25" - 0.5" range in areas with limited population so you know the storms are producing if you're getting reports from the void.

    Significant uptick in lightning just west of Garrett County.

    Just like that a decent wedge of clearing appears on visible. Damn.

    Hail being reported with the line NW of Morgantown, WV and it's 53/42 there. If we can manage like 65/45 today we're probably good.

    This is your "classic" DC severe day. Cloudy, limited instability but decent lapse rate and/or shear. We get some clearing and one or two spots win out but for everyone else it's a ho-hum event.

    Today has sneaky severe written all over it. Could be a legit big hailer or two even back towards Frederick.

    Do what they do any other day of the year...lump them in the waiting room for 13 hours.

    Plot twist. Certain states open up and just stop testing. Can't have a paper trail if you ignore the problem!

    This is an important item to note. I'm really glad Hogan did this and we are able to isolate and contain emerging areas of concenr to facilitate and easier "opening up".

    Yup. First lady was on hand to greet the shipment. Pretty big ball spike to the Feds, IMO.

    Baltimore and upper eastern shore slight risked on the SWODY2

    It's the carousal of anti-government twiddlef*cks.

    That would play right into their hands of the "help, help I'm being oppressed".

    PA is really the Alabama of the east coast.

    I'd put my money on a treatment before a vaccine. In 20 years of global vaccine research for SARS and MERS, not a single vaccine has been developed. There are some promising prospects out there, but even if something was announced today, there is no way commercial availability would be before November. Even then, it would only be available for hospitals for those seriously or critically ill.
