I checked out NYS budget. 5% goes to welfare. 41% goes towards Healthcare, 26% towards education. Fix those and the budget gets a lot easier to manage.

Mortality up to 4.53%

Are those Italy and Spain numbers updated?

Brother in law fired(with company 6 years), wife got laid off this morning in an emergency lay off. Has been with company for 7 years. This virus is going to have an impact on this country for 5-10 years at least.

8.6% mortality rate in Italy. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/ Global mortality rate is 4.15% https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Not for the faint of heart.

Statewide shutdown in NYS.

8.3% fatality rate... *Italy’s Coronavirus Death Tolls Surpasses China’s *Italy Says 3,405 Infected People Have Died *41,000 People Have Tested Positive for the Virus in Italy so far

For all of New York: Effective 8PM TONIGHT: -Crowd capacity reduced to 50 -Restaurants/bars will be takeout/delivery ONLY -Gyms closed -Movie theaters closed -Casinos closed

Lets not forget what happened in 1918, obviously that is highly unlikely with our medical advancements. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/reconstruction-1918-virus.html

Yeah I don't get it. Food and water would be a top priority for me. Toiler paper means nothing to me.

If this virus was allowed to run rampant it would likely usher in the next depression. It spreads faster than the seasonal flu. The seasonal flu has a vaccine. The mortality rate is much higher for this than the flu. Containment is prudent and necessary. However, the media panic is unnecessary. Everything is made in China and they have been shut down for weeks. The economy is run on supply and demand and the next few weeks we will see a shortage of many supplies. US is a very service based industry. I expect further declines in markets for the next month or two while we get vaccine made. I am friends with someone with a PHD that works in developing experimental medications for cancer. She said a vaccine would take about a year to develop and send out to the public. With it becoming a pandemic she expected late summer/early fall. Vaccines have started in developmental stages early this year.

Ef 3/4 tornadoes at nighttime with temps in the 50s/60s is commonplace? If so, I need to brush up on my tornadic knowledge.

19 people were sleeping at home in their beds and didn't wake this morning. Pretty crazy to think about a nighttime tornado in early March with low 60s temps creating a tornado strong enough to do that type of damage. Was it 10% hatch tornado last night in that area?

Reed Timmer does this as well for a living. Pretty much my dream job of all time, nothing else would come close a side from a professional hockey player and even then it would be close.

I'm from New York and thought Sandy was lame. So overrated.

He also got a show on television and is likely paid considerably for it. He's living the dream I wish I had. No one should feel sorry from him, he usually reemerges within a week following a chase on here. He's a veteran in chasing Canes all over the world. Some of those Philippians islands facing 200+ mph would have me worried much more.

My uncle just bought a house back in Buffalo and they are officially snowbirds. They have 2 houses near Delray Beach a little bit south of West Palm. Keeping an eye on this one, as they will have to fly back and board up if the Euro is correct. Pretty much a direct hit as their house is on the beach.

Looks like some really strong gusts here.

Some crazy videos coming out of Hong Kong from it’s second landfall.

Ohio, your lake effect posts are the best on this forum. Always appreciate your insight. Good luck at your new location!

Looks like you guys were right in Eries snowfall accumulations being incorrect. The NWS is tossing the 24 hour record and the December snowfall record and keeping them what they were. Interesting read. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20180723-Pennsylvania-Snowfall.pdf
