Syrmax Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 3 sailors in my son's nuclear power school base tested positive (1 in his class) and 20 are under quarantine. Navy had everyone sign papers saying they would avoid public places, other than the prototype training sub they are at...very Navy response. On the bright side (?), they pretty much think this is all a sad joke as Corona is mainly a "Boomer Remover". LOFL. Navy never changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Proximity to live mammals is key to interspecies transmission. Live animal retail markets should be outlawed. Don’t forget the origin of Ebola and Marburg — bushmeat often sold at markets in central Africa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I understand the culture in certain countries and how these rituals have been practiced for centuries...can we move into the 21st century? There are too many examples of the health effects of some of these archaic practices on humans with the spread of disease that otherwise would not happen. For the sake of humanity this should be no longer practiced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 My brother in law just got fired from West Herr as a direct result of this virus. We are heading towards a depression, not recession. Hope everyone has a 6 month-1 year emergency fund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The highly contagious novel coronavirus that has exploded into a global pandemic can remain viable and infectious in droplets in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days, according to a new study that should offer guidance to help people avoid contracting the respiratory illness called COVID-19. Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, attempted to mimic the virus deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting, such as through coughing or touching objects. They used a device to dispense an aerosol that duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze. The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces, according to the study that appeared online in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday - a day in which U.S. COVID-19 cases surged past 5,200 and deaths approached 100 The tests show that when the virus is carried by the droplets released when someone coughs or sneezes, it remains viable, or able to still infect people, in aerosols for at least three hours. On plastic and stainless steel, viable virus could be detected after three days. On cardboard, the virus was not viable after 24 hours. On copper, it took 4 hours for the virus to become inactivated. In terms of half-life, the research team found that it takes about 66 minutes for half the virus particles to lose function if they are in an aerosol droplet. That means that after another hour and six minutes, three quarters of the virus particles will be essentially inactivated but 25% will still be viable. The amount of viable virus at the end of the third hour will be down to 12.5%, according to the research led by Neeltje van Doremalen of the NIAID’s Montana facility at Rocky Mountain Laboratories. On stainless steel, it takes 5 hours 38 minutes for half of the virus particles to become inactive. On plastic, the half-life is 6 hours 49 minutes, researchers found. On cardboard, the half-life was about three and a half hours, but the researchers said there was a lot of variability in those results "so we advise caution" interpreting that number. The shortest survival time was on copper, where half the virus became inactivated within 46 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 On a happier note, that wind event for Friday looks well timed to maximize diurnal mixing. Would love to see some gusts up around 60mph, It's been awhile since we've had any exciting weather. And I know how many wind enthusiasts we have on this board, LOLZ! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the standard turn around from what I've read. That said, there are many viruses in this world that we have never been able to develop a vaccine for, so that might be overly optimistic. On the other hand, I'm sure there is more work being done on this vaccine than in almost any time in modern history, so we may get a hail mary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is prepared. I wonder if he will be able to afford the cobra payments to keep health insurance despite him having no control over his employment. I have decided to voluntarily quarantine myself along with my fiancé and son. My fiancé is 27 weeks pregnant and pregnant women are now being put in the high risk category due to their suppressed immune systems. I was told by the post office today that they can’t garuntee I’ll have a job when I come back as I may be out of work for months until it is safe enough for me to go back after my daughter is born. Luckily I have a years worth of savings that I can survive through this but as you stated unfortunately many don’t have that and I have no idea how they are going to get through this time. It’s so scary and surreal, it’s like living in a nightmare. How quick things change from life a month ago to now, I know I never saw this coming. Also shows you how much we all take our health and day to day lives for granted. Praying for everyone to get through this. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Still have chances for one of these fast movers to catch at the right time. Doesn’t look like anything big. We never stood a chance this winter. Those of you who pointed out the indices being crap were right. Each season I learn something new. This time it was the importance of indices and annual trends. If I end up getting that second home in the Dacks, I’ll have 19/20 to thank. I’m not sure I could tolerate another one like this. IT WAS UGLY! God speed friends. Y’all are eloquent as **** and argue good points. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It will remain quite unsettled across our forecast area on Friday... as the still intensifying sfc will track into northern Quebec. Its corresponding cold front will plow across our region...with conditionally unstable air and very strong synoptic forcing favoring showers and gusty thunderstorms. There will be two rounds of storms possible...initially with a prefrontal trough early in the day and again during the midday-early afternoon with the actual fropa. Given winds of 50-60 knots just off the deck...any convection will carry the risk of transporting these winds to the sfc. As earlier mentioned...SPC has placed most of New York state in a marginal risk for severe weather. Greater confidence is felt with the potential for strong to damaging synoptic wind gusts. The aforementioned 55 to 60 knot low level jet will persist in the cold advection in the wake of the front...and given strong mixing as supported by deep subsidence and at least partial clearing...the majority of these winds could mix to the sfc. The area most likely to receive the strong to potentially damaging winds would include the typical high wind corridor from Lake Erie and the IAG Frontier to Rochester. Usually...a significant trop fold is experienced during high wind events...but in this case most guidance packages do not suggest such. Nevertheless...a high wind watch for gusts to 60 mph has been issued in this corridor to cover this threat. Elsewhere...wind gusts will likely exceed 40 mph. Otherwise...temperatures that will start the day in the 60s will climb to near 70 across parts of the Genesee valley and Finger Lakes region before the strong cold front charges across the region early in the afternoon. Temperatures will then tumble into the 30s and 40s by sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Buffalo at least mentioned the S word lol Sunday, strong high pressure will build slowly east across Quebec, maintaining dry weather and sunshine. Temperatures will remain a little below average in the associated cool airmass. The next trough will then advance across the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes Monday, eventually supporting secondary cyclogenesis off the east coast. The trough will bring an increasing chance of precipitation very late Sunday night through Monday. Temperatures aloft and at the surface may allow for some of this to fall as wet snow initially before temperatures begin to warm later Monday afternoon. This system will move out Monday night, followed by weak high pressure and dry weather for Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
