I saw a study, maybe I can find it later, that Even if you stopped 99 out of 100 flights for every impacted area, which is effectively impossibleC you only delay the pandemic by a few weeks.
The time between infection and death i was reading is generally around 1 month so hopefully once we get a month out from the SD we’ll see a drop in the death count. I know NYC had some SD implemented in mid March but didn’t do a stay at home order until March 22 so maybe this week is the worst and then we’ll see improvements.
Have been following this closely and the outbreak in Maryland looks very bad to me. Cases in 81 nursing homes is a big problem. Secondly, Maryland is reporting currently 26% of cases are hospitalized, which should be around 10% based on other states/countries. This suggests there are at least 2.6 times the number of reported cases. Thirdly, our whole region was really slow on the testing.
I'll be up in the Montpelier area Friday-Monday visiting a friend. It seems like there will definitely be snow on the ground as it seems a few shortwaves will be moving through. Looking at the 10:1 clown maps I see a huge difference vs. the Kuchera maps. Just wondering if those kuchera maps ever pan out up there. I'm really hope to do some cross country skiing and sledding with my kids.
I love in the tropical snow desert urban heat island hell that is metro Washington DC so any snow will make me happy, but it would be really cool if my visit timed up with a significant storm. Thanks for the response!
Popping in from the mid-atlantic forum. How does the MLK weekend storm look for northern Vermont (Montpelier area)? Will be visiting some friends up that way for the weekend and am REALLY hoping to catch a good storm.
