Honestly what gives me an inkling of hope is that the EURO and its ensembles have generally been more bullish than the GFS/GEFS for this period. SnowTV for some genuinely seems possible. It’s an exciting distraction from reality!

yeah, I can see it working in colleges and elementary schools, where the teachers (pretty much) teach one or two classes and have a more controlled lesson plan. In high school and middle school where the teachers teach five+ periods with very different classes... I imagine its super challenging.

Distance learning is a mess. As far as I can tell from my high-school-aged sister, the teachers are slowly giving up. Arlington County schools technically don't get out until the 21st or so of June... gonna be a long process. It works fairly well for college, though I definitely feel cheated out of the end of this semester and the fun of being on my campus. I've still got a lot of work and a lot less of the fun ways to blow it off. Luckily for me I like my family, its really tough for those for whom college was an escape.

maybe some flurries on Friday?

EURO looks more like the GFS with a little rain-to-snow on the 15th. I'd like to record one more T.

nice

its been worse this winter

As if you don’t need two seconds to gather your thoughts. I’d also argue that everyone at those press conferences makes similar statements acknowledging questions they like or dislike, but that’s as far as I’ll go on that note!

If it becomes clear as day that HCQ and the other anti-malaria drugs are a solid remedy, than I’d expect to see things return somewhat to normal around July, with lockdowns beginning again in any area that starts to challenge its ICU capacity. Don’t see any way for this to fully end until we find a vaccine, though.

hah, the GEFS got snowier. It’s happening

GEFS is active through the end of the run, lol. Not as interested as the EPS but trackable all the way through to 384.

There is gonna be some kind of snow in the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast on April 16th.

GFS still trying for April 16th, haha. It's good entertainment at least.

Unsure, but I had thought that the dominant thought at the moment suggested that you probably can't actually get it twice and that people were simply being released too early. I think they've tightened up standards and now say you need two negative results separated by 24 hours... haven't heard of a supposed reinfection in awhile.

This might be the first time this year that the EPS has been advertising more snow than the GEFS. Makes sense that would happen with a mid-April event.

This is why I really don’t think anything will start back up until a vaccine is available. Good luck getting me to go back to my college campus and hopping into a larger lecture or a dining hall. I’d probably end up taking a really useless gap year, honestly.

Gotta say, I’m loving Zoom. Works like a charm. I somewhat never want to do in-person meetings again. Saves a lot of travel time.

Big interior storm this run. Why not.

Did you see the field hospital they are building in Central Park because they don't have room for all their patients?

I realize that we are never gonna agree here and that is fine but I don’t think there is a noteworthy distinction between pneumonia caused by Coronavirus and Coronavirus itself. I assume that’s what you are getting at with the last point.

China fought the virus by enforcing social distancing to an extreme you don't want... they welded morons who were going to leave their houses into them and covered the highways with mounds of dirt to stop people from leaving their cities. The death toll and number of cases there is likely underdone (though I'm not sure I believe its as dramatically underdone as others, hell, our case numbers and fatality numbers are way underdone), but they stopped it through social distancing. They aren't out of the woods yet though, other countries could bring it back to them. China instituted strong social distancing and, you are right! Massive drop off! That is proof it works. Jesus. I'm sure China is laughing at the U.S. response, I know I am. Yes, everyone catching the virus and getting immune would solve the problem quickly. But also millions of people would die. So weigh that how you will.

Checkpoints would be when this gets real... imagine being stopped crossing the American Legion Bridge. Tough to imagine.

Southern part of the subforum, but hmmm...

Could be wrong, but I don’t see it. Doesn’t seem to line up with the velocity scans/rotation — which is super limited
