    The thing about Pandemics is that once you know it is happening.. it is basically too late to do anything.  People are contagious before they are sick.. 

    Except we had 2 months to get ready that were entirely squandered.

    USA takes over Italy for second most infections and likely will pass China later today.

    Quite possible we pass Italy later today. Gonna be close. 4K behind now without all US updates yet. Obviously a ways behind still per capita.

    Gotta say, working from home is not bad. Grab a beer whenever, do a workout when I want. Go outside and get some stuff done. I am sure this social isolation thing will get old, but not minding it right now. And it is for the greater good, and is necessary.

    I haven’t gotten a midday beer while working. 

     

     

     

     

    Yet.

    Va closed schools the rest of the year.  Damn.  My son is a senior this year.

    That sucks. 

    I’m hoping MD doesn’t jump all the way to the rest of the year. Seems not insane to think there’s maybe some hope for May and June at least.

    He closed "Non essential Businesses"...despite how he wants to twist it or call it, he just did the same thing other states have done. Its basically a "shelter in place" without calling it that. Honestly its all dumb as hell

    It’s shelter in place without penalties or enforcement apparently from what I’m reading elsewhere.

    Yes. Went from a true soaker to just enough to be annoying. At least we fail at rain events also lol

    Seems like we’ve been underperforming on precip for the last 4-8 weeks. Not even quite 0.25” from the first batch here. Yesterday’s gfs and NAM at least we’re suggesting 0.5-1” areawide. Doubt we get another 0.25” this afternoon but we’ll see.

  7. @mattie g we’re letting our kids play with neighborhood friends as long as everyone is symptom free. That seems fine per the medical experts I’ve seen. We’re going to limit contact with their grandparents for awhile (although we haven’t explicitly told them that yet).

  8. Let’s try to keep the conversation apolitical please. Staff has been letting things go because this is obviously something everyone wants to talk about. But let’s keep the discussion without politics as much as possible.
