  1. Good. Now let's get cracking on that third span.
  2. Yea, it should be noted that Italy is going to be the far outlier, maybe Spain breaks the double digit mortality rate too, but we should fare somewhat better in the US if the public takes this seriously. It's entirely possible, and this is just my opinion here, that we see things return to normal in time for Memorial Day.
  3. Philly has Catholic mass on 6 ABC and broadcasts services from St. Peter & Paul Basilica on the radio. I'm not sure why other cities don't do this. Oklahoma is broadcasting services and Texas, somehow, decided to keep all their churches open.
  4. I never said that. 15% mortality of the number of infected cases.
  5. Italian Ministry of Health last night announced on NHK World News (The Japanese version of PBS, a reliable source) that deaths reported so far have almost exclusively been from hospitals. Nursing homes and deaths at home, etc. largely have not been counted because the system is back up so much. It would not surprised me to see something like a 15% mortality rate in Italy when all is said and done.
  6. 08:00 Gaithersburg 40° w/ overcast and intermittent bouts of plague
  7. Curious to know more about this.
  8. Liquor is food so it's still on unless you didn't realize the 21st Amendment is a thing...PA I'm looking at you.
  9. WxWatcher007 2020 - In Weenie We Trust
  10. Some daycares are getting waivers if they provide daycare to essential employees.
  11. The wedge held firm like 10 miles south of my home. You could feel the warmer breeze but then the sun set and we got socked in with fog again.
  12. I think we're going to wedge out the wedge. Winds are SW at 7mph now in Reisterstown.
  13. I think we're good even up in Baltimore County. Note on the satellite how there's low level flow now switching out of the south. As the mid level junk is clearing out the lower level fog and such is eroding in southern Maryland. It'll take longer than forecast, and that may be due to the models lacking daya from less commercial aircraft. Until this whole COVID thing blows over I'd take the low end of guidance and lean more towards nowcasting.
  14. What was a dead calm morning now showing some sign of life. Bit of a south wind picking up here in Reisterstown and fog is breaking up a bit. Really hope we break out, my lawn is awake and the yard needs some work.
  15. Italy back up to over 700 fatalities/day...still kicking about a 10% mortality rate.
  16. The never wins when we need it to. Only when we need sun.
  17. Has anyone heard if these checks are going to be counted against people at tax time next year, and if so, can someone opt out of taking these checks to avoid that?
  18. Wheat beers, lagers and stouts are so good for the taste buds but not the waist line.
  19. I love chocolate and always am looking for a good recommendation. My wife is on the keto lifestyle and I'm trying to support her wherever possible so right now it's only the drier beers (Sapporo, Orion) in the fridge. Thanks for the recommendation on the Yards Love Chocolate...will add it to my list of drinking out when this is all over.
  20. I've yet to have a good chocolate or coffee stout. Oatmeal stout for me all day.
  21. "I had to suffer and you should too", is ingrained in this country's DNA.
  22. I don't know if we are ever going to have an accruate confirmed count at this point in the US.
