It’s from my buddy that lives in Hamburg. Somewhere close by

We had quite a bit of snow this morning

UK at 938 deaths. France, Italy and Spain are down.

10,480 new cases in NY today. Still pretty close to their highest daily tally. We are still a long ways away from normalcy.

I'll take snow over rain any day.

US already up to 1373 deaths, going to be another bad day. 779 deaths in New York.

There was an interview with a NYC doctor that stated this is being treated incorrectly. That ventilators actually cause more harm then good and it's not the solution to opening up the lungs. He stated this virus exhibits similar effects to altitude sickness. He said when someone gets this virus its like being dropped on Mt Everest without acclimating. That is something I cannot imagine as when I was in Peru at 15k feet it felt like every step I could not breath. I had huge issues with elevation down there. I guess Doctors are learning as they go with this and don't necessarily know the best option to treat patients with COVID. They must figure since its a lung problem that ventilators are the solution.

Interview with Marc Polancarz said WNY hits the Apex in early May. I'm thinking we're in lockdown until at least June 1st.

Lake effect?

We had 2 measurable snowstorms in April of 2017. It just seems every year it happens. I wish we could just get seasons in seasons. There is actually a few chances of lake effect snow even at lower elevations in the next 2 weeks.

Figures....EVERY APRIL this happens.

They're already canceling events in June around Buffalo. June 13th and 14th was the allentown art festival. https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/2020-allentown-art-festival-canceled/71-68c36a71-3f02-4878-8645-94c7ce624179

The pattern coming up in Nov-March would given us multiple boughts of heavy lake effect snow

1970 deaths as the final tally for last 24 hours in US. Globally 7,380.

Virus deaths may be undercounted as more people die at home. The official death figures, awful as they are, may not actually reflect the virus’s true toll Around the country, according to experts and officials, virus-related deaths are being undercounted because of inconsistent protocols and limited resources. In New York City, the leader of the City Council’s health committee, Mark Levine, wrote on Twitter that people were dying at home at about 10 times the normal rate, presumably in large part because of the virus, but that many deaths were not being counted as virus deaths. According to the news site Gothamist, the city medical examiner’s office has not been testing dead bodies for the virus and has instead referred what it considers “probable” virus deaths to the city’s health department. But the health department counts only confirmed virus cases in its official death tally, Gothamist reported, suggesting that many virus deaths were being missed. Asked on Tuesday about an increase in people dying at home, Mr. de Blasio said, “I’m assuming the vast majority of those deaths are coronavirus related.” He added: “It’s understandable in a crisis that being able to make the confirmation is harder to do, with all the resources stretched so thin.” City officials, he said, were focusing their resources on “saving the next life.” Still, he said, “We do want to know the truth about what happened in every death at home.”

New York City is not recording any deaths that occurred at home due to coronavirus. The numbers are understated in New York State. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/nyregion/coronavirus-new-york-update.html#link-221b047c

They had a backlog type dump a few days ago where they reported 23K cases in a day.

Definitely not the flu

1356 deaths already as of 1 PM in US. Most likely on our way to our first 2k death day. 731 deaths in New York in last 24 hours.

We just got it too. But it's $540 due to taxes.

It was a very depressing time for me applying to hundreds of jobs, dozens of interviews and getting turned down over and over. It went on for 2-3 years and was a very dark time of my life. Keep your head up and always keep confident in your abilities. You will get something!

I think the extra $600 only goes until July 31st which is when most people should start going back to work. For instance my wife makes around what you would get for the $600+normal UI. She got "furloughed" as a result of this pandemic. As soon as this is done she will go right back to work. So I get why they added the $600.

Plus with unemployment you don't get health insurance, so you're kind of screwed if anything happens to you during that time. Knowing my luck as soon as I lost my insurance, something really bad would happen like last time. I broke my ankle playing hockey and my wife was in the hospital having surgery for kidney stones. Literally 2 weeks after I lost my insurance...
