1.67 now. thankfully it started raining once my station came back online, so i trust the values its putting out.

1.56" so far IMBY

chuckled loudly

yeah thats a dangerous thing to say and do.

Yeah I know. Everyone wants to be the first to solve this without going through the proper peer-review studies. I understand why Trixie gets frustrated when she sees so many studies posted that haven't been peer-reviewed. Regardless of immediate need, it still needs to be reviewed.

i worry people will take these "studies" and run with it. Someone will believe their kids are "safe" and put them in situations they shouldn't be in (taking them to the store, as an example) and now you have very sick kids with parents thinking their kids were safe. I wish these kind of studies didn't even make public news until they are factually reviewed.

dont pay attention to case numbers. with more people being tested statewide, those numbers are going to continue to be going up. and Hogan isn't using that as a metric on reopening the state. pay attention to hospitalizations, and the strain on ICU/Ventilators. that is what Hogan is looking at https://apps.esrgc.org/dashboards/covid/invasiveVentilators/ - ICU/Ventilators dashboard for DC and MD staying positive is the best you can do. I know its frustrating, we are dealing with it in our house too. But if we just keep doing our part, stay home, social distance when we do have to go out.... it will help.

.... we did flatten the curve though. the whole point of staying home and socially distancing is to limit spread and not put a strain on hospitals. the disease still has to run its course through the community, our actions have just slowed that spread to more manageable levels. what to think? what we are doing is WORKING. and people need to keep doing it. you slow the spread, let the disease fizzle out and things will slowly go back to normal. its a marathon, not a sprint. sooner people accept that, the better off everyone is mentally with staying home.

yeah, ive seen that one too. i dont pay any attention to them, honestly. I agree with you -- the end product is only as good as the data that goes into it. without a complete picture from the get-go, your end result won't be accurate.

I really dont know why people are paying attention to that model anymore. there are so many variables that it cannot account for. it cant predict peoples actions.

+893 cases, +62 deaths +66 new hospitalizations only 3400 tests came back, still way too low.

its like a slow march east. just a massive wall of water on radar

I do not believe we have started that countdown yet.

I will def keep that in mind next time I’m down that way. Stay well and share more pics!

wishing you the best over there, dear. hopefully they are smart about it.

hahahahaha i was wondering who that was.

twitter is great when you use it well. thats really awesome the WV covid guy has been responding to questions and concerns. I've had similar interactions with Hogan's top communication guy.

happy to do so! just processing water data at my dining room table while listening to him talk.

and thats it. thanks for coming to my TED talk lol

ooooooooo - Hogan addressed a news story about how the tests from SK may be flawed, but then mentioned that even the federal government has now made orders for tests from SK. I love his subtle burns

He didn't say. Just be sure to say thanks when you see a front line worker. Im sure that will go a long way. I have my own opinions about having flyovers that i wont go on about here.
