Bubbler86 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Sounds like all bars closed, restaurants at 25% capacity (I bet many do not do that and just close) and all business offices closed if they can telework. He also alluded to no schools if things get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Winds howling here this AM. 20-25MPH gusts. Nam is unimpressed with today's storm chances but HRRR has a decent line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they'll shut down and go back to take out. check out the string of days..................Friday well into next week also Saturday and Sunday are smokin 96 & 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could very well be wrong as I was assuming the best. If it does that is all the worse! At 25% most places could get by with just 3-4 employees for the inside stuff. More if doing take out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Low, dark clouds streaming in from my east this morning. Sitting at 73 right now...today's temp is all about cloud cover. I could see temps holding in the 70s or making a run at 90 depending on the wind direction... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if that includes employees...small venues wont be worth opening the doors. and no....they cannot survive at 25%. What business can? If someone can name one....let me know where to send my resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "new" order, not law, doesn't even make sense to me. Anyways, back to the weather it is the only weather we got.

If you watched the conference he spent much of the time saying "We do not want to be the next Florida" re: I guess he is saying that would be coming here again. Like @pasnownut said these clouds are a great bonus this AM. Makes being outside not so bad though a bit humid. Hopefully that humidity turns into some rain.

Cloudy here right now hope we can have a nice sunny weekend to head out to the pool! I know two people in the area that have died to it. My cousins wife's parents both were on ventilators in april for a month. The father died because he wasn't getting better. Back in June my old coworker had a future in law that had to have both legs amputated, had multiple organs failing and she died because they waited too long to go to the hospital. She was only 40 and completely healthy. I also barely follow anyone on twitter and have seen multiple people I follow catching it and ending up sick. I'm sick of people saying this stuff. Anyyywayy...we might have a close run in to 100 on sunday possibly...the pool water at my parents place is scorching right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens unfortunately but there also needs to be a balance between keeping our economy open and businesses open (versus Walmart and Lowes etc being opened) What is the difference? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 This is the only post that I will make concerning the virus and anything related to it - I'm not going to make posts regarding the virus. :) Too many threads have already been shut down for one reason or another. We all know that this carries a lot of emotions and for some of us it's quite personal. My lack of response is not indicative of anything more than just wanting to keep peace and not allow myself to get too emotionally involved in this forum. I've had a few disagreements and caused some hard feelings in the past and I'm keeping myself in line and only ask that if you choose to discuss Covid in our thread that you maintain respect for other's thoughts and opinions. We really are a great group and I hope we keep our thread clean and free of the nastiness that has occurred elsewhere. (to this point everyone in this thread has been amazing...let's keep it that way) That said, it's mostly cloudy and 74.4 here. Loving some easterly fetch in July! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it can/does get ugly sometimes, but as you stated rather eloquently, it carries a lot of emotions and is quite personal for a myriad of reasons, but having said that, there are MANY different stories, and I want to remind people that we live in an era that we typically hear about the bad ones, as they are more "newsworthy", and not the oh he/she recovered so who really cares (like my 92 yr old aunt this is recovered at her LTC facility). One must consider how many have recovered knowingly/unknowingly, and that # (98-99+%) by far and away outnumbers the tragic stories that we read every day (but surely doesn't diminish the sadness of them). That variable will always be the albatross wrt CV 19 and responses thereof. Like it or not, we've all seen or heard about distortion of data, and based on the gravity of those actions, it has been troubling at best. It is happening to varying degrees, and that's concerning. A quick google search supports the validity of that claim. No one should leave any forum butthurt or pissed when "fired upon"... I know I sometimes leave scratching my head in disbelief, or wow...i just learned something, or just take a break when I'm outnumbered/browbeat...or wrong (yes....it can happen...lol). I hate how Voyager likes warmth and will troll him for it (mid winter mind you ), but id gladly drink a beer w/ him, and consider all here my weather pals, and I think he/everyone knows that by now. Whether we think alike or not, its all good, as we learn the most from the ones we have the least in common with, as it broadens ones spectrum of values/beliefs, or self awareness. That IS a good thing. Not sure what happened to the NE covid forum, but a lot of good data was shared, and yes, debated, but a lot of factual stuff was presented, and emotion was kept in check, but I'm guessing it was getting a little to ripe for the mods (i was away when it did). Hang in there gang, we aren't outta da woods by a long shot, but we ARE in it together. Sauss, do a big ol' belly flop for us tonight....sorta feels appropriate for the times. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed it a few weeks ago, it used to say "1 mile east of the mighty Susquehanna", which could mean pretty much anywhere 1 mile east of the Susquehanna from NY down to MD, LOL.
