Interesting statement from Dr. Birx that there are a million tests at Abbott labs that are in backlog because the testing machines are down. I want the country back open sooner rather than later but dang let's know how many and where and get this thing totally contained first and then come back strong!
Also saw that less than 0.5% of Virginians have been tested. Really not sure how we contain this beast when we truly don't know how many have it and where. I know there is some sort of sick love affair with the death total but honestly if we don't stop the spread the death total will just continue to accumulate and I don't give a rats ass how fast that happens it will just continue. If we are ok with that then I guess open this bad boy up May 1st...that will make Phineas happy
Apologies if this was discussed or even disputed but the model everyone is using saying the predictions of total deaths keep going down some of the metrics used are that it assumes a Wuhan style lockdown until the end of May to achieve those numbers. Call me skeptical but I'm not sure that's what is happening in the USA
I worked in grocery stores in some form from 83-2014 I currently work for a manufacturer that sells organic milk, cheese, eggs etc. The demand has been insane!!
it won't stick to the pavement because it has been so warm, plus the sun angle is rough...one positive is if it happens it will do so prior to moving the clocks forward so we will have that benefit
Correct me if I'm wrong but the discussion was the opportunity to get into a better pattern was to start around the 20th with better opportunities later like the 24th on...this weekend chance seems to have thrown off some people's common sense. That said I'm not sure things still look good post 1/20 but still that was still early
Other than the mountains out west how much snow has anyone in the PAC NW gotten. I have tons of friends in Seattle and Portland and they don't have squat
