  1. Blizz what have I been saying! LOL. Still holding hope
  2. The fetch of moisture is still down in NC. Just crazy!
  3. I don't think we closed for the flu, right? The flu as I said has a vaccine and still kills a lot of people.
  4. Good point, but just like flu even with vaccine the flu kills people and if you look at the numbers it is a lot of people again even with a vaccine. I don't want to live through a great depression that is for sure so there will always be a risk you might catch COVID just like any other year you might catch the flu. I feel horrible for small business who carry the same kind of products as a Walmart, Groceries stores, Lowes on and on who cannot open now, why not? To me, politics aside this unfortunately has become more politically driven then anything else. Again, my opinion. The Western part of our state look at the numbers, look at the hospital volume (why UPMC did what they are doing). Even in NYC when we brought the ship in for more hospital beds it was hardly even used and is leaving Friday. Hospitals for sure aren't overwhelmed. I talk to many in this industry, just had a discussion with someone from North Carolina yesterday same thing there hospitals are not being overwhelmed. We need to move on from this and live and again if you or anyone else doesn't want to go because of fear stay home. Thanks man and again all in respect.
  5. With all due respect on this reply to you, I have been in the Healthcare consulting business for over 20 years in which I carry many Healthcare relationships not just in PA but all over the country. So, yes this is fact not fake news that hospitals even in PA are carrying low volume of patients especially on the ER side and elective surgeries where that is part of their revenue gain. This is why UPMC made the decision before Wolf did to go forward with elective surgeries starting Monday. And, yes hospitals are laying off and/or furloughing employees because of the loss revenue and volume. We aren't in 1918 we are in 2020. 1918 was a different decade many, many decades ago and healthcare wasn't in the same position then as now. Please don't even compare it to this. If you are afraid to go out, stay sheltered that's perfectly fine. What will happen if we stay shutdown there likely will be more addiction, suicides, and other deaths that will be higher than our death toll in PA right now. Everybody has their own opinion I will respect that but you cannot keep this economy down forever due to fear. Thanks and I do not mean any disrespect at all. And I should ask do you really believe the numbers that we are given every day which now includes "probable" cases of COVID?
  6. It is like a conveyor belt right now. WOW. It extends all the down to NC.
  7. Yep. No doubt. Heavier rain here right now.
  8. I'm with you on no one wants to talk to you right now, being in the Healthcare IT Consulting business where sales matter our market was so competitive and striving 2 months ago now is pretty much at a stand still. I feel guilty even having my sales team prospecting the client base hospitals so we balance it out right now. But you see ER's all over the place empty and hospitals laying off because of so low of volume it is disheartening for sure. Hope soon, we need to open and let the economy come back that is a for sure.
  9. We finally started to rain. What an interesting look to the radar.
  10. Exactly! It is right to my west literally just miles away.
  11. I love it, for once I am excited for a rain storm to get the mind off of everything else. :-) And in addition not being able to track much snow this year.
  12. Yep right to the west of us Harrisburg is rain and we are nothing right now. Crazy!
  13. Any feedback on how anyone thinks the flooding will be around the area. Severe? Creeks and streams for sure I suspect.
  14. That's insane! If this pattern was a couple of months ago maybe even a month ago...my goodness.
  15. I told you Blizz, I wasn't giving up to see snow in May! :-)))
  16. As I kept saying about 2020 I am holding out hope for May Snow! :-) Thanks Mag for the update.
  17. Exactly, and they are now counting "Probable" Cases. We might as well call us Philadelphia and change my city name at this point.
  18. With the way 2020 has gone the possibilities of May snow higher than normal. and I don't really care about the sun angles. But I will say I am also ready for warmer outside weather no doubt about that.
  19. Exactly Blizz! I was thinking the same thing yesterday. Geez. I'm still holding out for May snow!
  20. Thanks for the pics! Have fun and enjoy it.
  21. It certainly is, and like others say we can discuss the virus in respect of everyone's opinion I have no problem with that, I love this forum great info and people on it. But your right it is a crazy 2020 let's fast forward to December 2020 unless we will get a Halloween Snowstorm again! And I'm still holding out for May Snow! :-)))) Your point is well taken about everyone needs to make their own decisions we did before and we should now. There is going to be a huge rally on Monday in Harrisburg, I hope it doesn't get ugly and it shouldn't but we need to get people back to work that is my opinion. I'm a leader Healthcare IT consulting and our market is devastated right now. Hospitals are laying off because of no elective surgeries and ER's half full based on the state you live in. It is so sad that is even happening. I know some Physician Assistances who got laid off or reduced hours. Craziness, we can't live in fear forever and if anyone is scared to go out then stay home. Practice Social Distancing if your out and the right behavior. The best thing this has done for me is watching my Cowboys win the Super Bowl but that was in the 90's :-(((((
  22. Heaviest Snow Shower of the season with the sun out. OMG 2020 what have you become?
