so based on what i've seen its 7-10 days from time of infection until symptoms show then from what ive seen it either lasts a good week or more and then people start to get better, or they end up in ICU. I've read that happens around 7-10 days from onset of symptoms. Obviously some may progress differently and faster So lets say 14-20 days from infection until a corner is turned. thats one hell of a time period for people to stay home and not infect anyone else

we probably will. this week isnt going to be a very good week regarding deaths. so many who have been sick, will either turn a corner and get better, or they don't and end up on ventilators, and we know how low the chances are of surviving once on a ventilator.

Oh yeah, i imagine most will act differently after this. But I am still pretty surprised by older folks lackadaisical approach. While at the store this morning, about 9 out 10 had masks on. Older men, did not. Saw one dad with his two kids... no PPE of any sort for them. Personally, we have kept our kid home. She hasn't left the house in 3 weeks (week 1 we went to the trail a few times but then it got crowded). We only leave when we need to go to the store, otherwise we aren't going anywhere. And I have no plans to go anywhere until schools reopen. Hogan won't send kids back to school if its not safe, even just a little bit.

yup, i mean just look at today's numbers. 30% were tested in March. Now that could be literally last monday, March, or it could be 2 weeks ago March. Either way, the long lapse between testing and results doesnt help give a true sense of the outbreak. I can't see Hogan reopening anything any time soon

yup. i dont see states lifting anything for another month. better to be safe than sorry

Glad you and the family are well. We are good too, healthy! And thanks for the information!

hey friend, hope you've been well. i know i know, its soooo funny. but seriously, dont post that stuff.

No, 24 deaths reported on April 6th for the 5th.

This explains the drastic rise in confirmed cases in MD. I imagine many that had it in March are now better. or so i hope.

Yikes - 1,153 new cases in MD yesterday. I imagine a lot of backlog of testing has finally come back which explains the dramatic rise in numbers

woken up by thunder around 130am, otherwise slept through whatever came through

worked like a charm when i went to the store this morning. found toilet paper!

my mom, god bless her, made us all fabric masks. my anxiety over having to go the store dropped by just having a mask.

Hogan: 1-2 BILLION has already been spent within the state. wowza. that's gonna hurt the states budget

Hogan says, and this is important, that if MD continues doing what they are doing, the curve will flatten... however the length of time it lasts could be longer, though hospital systems won't be overwhelmed regarding testing: there was a backlog (as i figured and said numerous times) and they are still playing catch up.

Hogan is having a presser right now, one his covid task force people publicly stated they were pleased to see numbers go down over the last 24hrs, but doesn't want anyone to have a false sense of security. Hogan is also directed DOH to release more demographic information and that the state lab is pushing to get results out within 24hrs of testing so numbers are more reflective of whats happening in real time.

FWIW, Hogans people are aware of the weather threat today.

nope, we aren't doing that in this thread.

MD DOH started showing that data on April 3rd 3rd: +82 4th: +157 5th: +115 6th: +123 7th: +47

MD 10am update

oh yeah, we are home as long as schools are closed. only said at least 2 more weeks because as of now, school is set to reopen April 27th, though we dont believe that will actually happen.

two weeks? we are in week 4 in the mappy household. at least two more weeks after this

I agree, if anyone sees a storm, or discrete non-severe cell, it will be that NOVA folks

doesnt look super exciting up this way.
