  1. Significant uptick in lightning just west of Garrett County.
  2. Just like that a decent wedge of clearing appears on visible. Damn.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Today has sneaky severe written all over it. Could be a legit big hailer or two even back towards Frederick.
  6. Do what they do any other day of the year...lump them in the waiting room for 13 hours.
  7. Plot twist. Certain states open up and just stop testing. Can't have a paper trail if you ignore the problem!
  8. 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".
  9. Yup. First lady was on hand to greet the shipment. Pretty big ball spike to the Feds, IMO.
  10. Baltimore and upper eastern shore slight risked on the SWODY2
  11. It's the carousal of anti-government twiddlef*cks.
  12. That would play right into their hands of the "help, help I'm being oppressed".
  13. PA is really the Alabama of the east coast.
  14. 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.
  15. I hope the lab processing is boosted as well. Right now there's regional labs, not every state has one and we could just get another back log of confirmed/not confirmed cases.
  16. Was just about to say this. Hope they're already in a warehouse in the state and not en route because I've lost all faith in the Feds with this event.
  17. We're a big biotech capital with MedImmune, NIH, etc. in this state so we stand the chance of emerging better with testing capabilities if we really put a concerted effort through in this state.
  18. A lot of counties opening up more drive up testing. Not sure if this is related, but it's been a big push at the local level.
  19. Yea. The first thing you want to see is more releases than hospitalizations for about a week. We just aren't seeing that and the MIEMMS hospital data yet though.
  20. From what I've seen at work, these numbers are not due to a spike in testing bandwidth. This is high and it's just the Monday/Tuesday slump. Our hospitalizations numbers are not getting any better either.
  21. It's more likely we develop a treatment protocol before a vaccine for COVID19. Even still that's probably a year off, IMO.
