I don't doubt for a second we'll surpass all of those.

Just to add, what it does NOT mean is that we are even close to "beating this", rather we are heading towards achieving a pause in the explosive growth phase and stabilizing our cases/day.

There's a lot to be hopeful with this chart. Log charts allow you to see if exponential growth is occurring. The exponential phase has decelerated tremendously. That's an absolute result of measures that have been taken in the last few weeks, and expected. However, it doesn't mean that growth isn't occurring. Rather, that growth isn't as fast, percentage wise, as it was earlier in this disease. It's a good thing. If the curve flattens the way it looks above, it's going to take us a while to get to 1,000,000 cases.

Because we all need some good COVID news, it appears the curve is actually flattening on a log chart over the last 6 days nationwide. This bodes well and shows that staying at home works.

Florida's stay at home order excludes churches, and excludes local municipalities doing any tougher restrictions of their own. Florida's gonna make New York's numbers look like rookie numbers.

I think there will be a sizeable portion of people who _want_ to return to business as usual, but I think business as usual will be hard to achieve until we collectively feel safe and we reestablish social norms after being stuck in isolation for so long.

Exactly. Like can you even imagine going in a crowded restaurant right now?

I kind of wonder how we will collectively be psychologically after this. Like, are we going to be collectively traumatized, nervous to go outside and interact with others? You see it in Wuhan, which has opened up but people are staying inside.

New York City no longer accepting patients that are pulseless at the scene. https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/961091?section=us&keywords=newyork-nyc-emt-virus&year=2020&month=04&date=02&id=961091&oref=www.reddit.com

Today is looking bad. Morning update states are mostly in. 22k cases - 700 deaths already. We're heading for a 30k+ cases, 1.2-1.3k death day. Still growing exponentially. Louisiana looks terrible. Maryland has actually be pretty good compared to most states.

Given that there are a lot of fake/false news on the tests out there right now, I'm trying to focus on verifiable sites. It's pretty clear that the WHO test (not the chinese one) worked in several countries, and by not adopting mass early testing and instead opting for a bunk test that, face it, allowed an American company to profit instead of a european one, we failed miserably. A Harvard team is working on this issue right now, showing how many deaths would have been prevented by mass early testing. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/490534-harvard-expert-we-clearly-would-have-had-a-very-different-situation When all is said and done, the United States failures will lead to us having the most deaths and cases per capita out of any developed nation. Mark my words. We're already well on our way.

So... for those of you with more experience than me... how long does the ground stay white after 11.5” of snow?

Oh my god guys, I have a pile of snow that is 3' high from shoveling. My son now has a tiny shovel that a neighbor gave me. I really got to meet all of my neighbors who helped a clueless person like me figure out how to deal with all the snow. This is great. Bonus pictures! 11.5" was my final snowfall amount. SNOW IS AWESOME!

Got it up here in the outskirts of Germantown too. One storm I got as much snow as I did last winter lol.

Looking at the reports, it appears I was in the jackpot zone. Sweet! I've been looking for a 6+" storm for so long now and I actually jackpot when it hits! Y'all the way it looks outside nearly makes the wait all worth it.

Fat dendrites falling AGAIN in Germantown. There is like a tiny fleck of yellow over me on the radar.

11.5” final total in Germantown. I seem to have tracked perfectly with @Bob Chill‘s Numbers. Pictures soon.

I’m almost certain I got a foot in Germantown, measurement pending.

I’m gonna end up with more snow round 2 than round 1.

It very much is. Tempered by me still feeling sick. Either the flu or the remnants of Norovirus. Hoping is the later. I’ll know if I wake up better or worse tomorrow.

I was going to be happy with 4”, that was gonna be my most ever. A foot is mind blowing.

I needed a snow like this so bad, I was convinced this doesn’t happen here. I think I’m a lock for 10” in Germantown, May already be there.

Same here. Sidewalks were already shoveled and cars brushed off. Thought it was over.

East of Daly Elementary. I bet the roads are terrible right now. I have 6" on hard surfaces but there is a ton of compaction on them. 9" on anything that is insulated.

Same. Just about at 8.5" here. This MoCo band is awesome.
