I’ll be up to visit next winter

Best look all winter and it comes in April

Let me get this straight ... it was windy today?

They are plenty good for winter also.

Not being snarky to you, but those are a dime a dozen around here. Worst part of our weather IMO

Watch number 13 be right lol

Everywhere you go here it’s squish. Mowed today at 2 pm. Full sun for hours. Mower tires instantly wet when they started rolling.

LOL, I’ve played golf 5 times the last two weeks

Worst possible scenario. I want a southeast ridge and sun

I don’t see any real issues with snow and temps in the low 40’s

If it had snow in Fredericksburg or Staunton, your statement would be true in reverse.

Been telling you guys since early in the winter, the euro is only wrong when it shows snow

Looks ok to me lol

LOL, poof.

Did you move yet? You’ll find the weather much different out there.

Temp in the 30’s here. It may actually snow tonight lol

By all means, shoot them.

Sleet mix here as well

It must be cold above. Interesting that we have sleet pellets mixing in in Winchester at 50 degrees

LOL ... poof

What does the testing do? There is no cure. I suppose if you can get people to self quarantine it might slow the spread. But we aren’t going to get people to stay home. I went out tonight for dinner and the place was running over with people. They may be able to keep people from gathering in the tens of thousands but there are still gonna be large gatherings of people, and many tens of thousands of those gathering across the country. What happens if we have a million test kits? 10 million? Does everyone who gets a sniffle or a cough go get tested? What then? How do we handle that? We gonna close businesses? Gas stations? Food stores? Where does this end. A mass panic seems very unlikely to be the best course of action here.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-h1n1-pandemic.html 60 million plus cases, 12000 plus us deaths. I don’t remember anything shutting down. Does anyone else?

Great write up. I guess I differ in a couple of places. One, I don’t think we will have an accurate death rate until we get a much larger sample. My guess is that there are probably 10 times more people who actually have this thing than we think. And that may be a low estimate. If so, in this country that would put us very near flu like death rates. Two, I’m not sure we can really slow the spread at this point. We may delay it a bit, but we aren’t gonna stay locked away from each other for long. I would think that as soon as we go back to daily regular activities that we would see the spread take right off again. I think the only way to realistically deal with this is to live life, be cautious, be clean. We won’t be able to truly isolate ourselves for very long. I could be wrong in everything that I think. I’m not so arrogant that I think I’m always right. I just feel how I feel about this. That and the way I feel about the health care machine in general, but I won’t go into that. But that was a great post. It made me think in some different ways. Hopefully we can get through all of this One other side note. Probably won’t happen but an event like this underscores the need for humans to seriously consider things like moon or even Mars colonies. Possibly sealed biodomes. Anything to give us a place to preserve the human race in the event of a catastrophe.

So dumb. In the end it’s gonna be a ton of money spent, ruined events, and all for nothing. I don’t care what they do, you will never contain the spread of this. So live life and let’s get on with it. I can speak for the validity of this but I was listening to a guy on the radio yesterday and he was supposedly quoting stats from the cdc. He said that 80% of those who will contract this will require no medical attention. He also said that the average age of those who have died was 80!! He also said that ALL of them had underlying medical conditions. Now I don’t know if he was just speaking about the US or not. Regardless, my hunch is that once we have a valid number of cases to base conclusions off of, meaning at least 500,000 us cases, that we are going to see a very low death rate and a specific set of victims. Im not saying throw caution to the wind. Take precautions. But to let this thing tank economies, bring daily life to a standstill is ridiculous. The media is fanning these flames because it gets attention. We live in an age of sensationalism where logic and reason seemingly have no place. Oh well, rant over. But I can tell you that I’m one person who is not going to let fear of a virus, a cold virus at that, keep me from doing anything I want to do.
