Yellowstone volcano wants some attention too. 6.5 earthquake a little while ago. It was in central Idaho, close enough. lol I say bring it!  Yes, a volcanic eruption would go great with the theme of 2020. |

How about the earth being hit by a asteroid?

Pretty impressive winter storm in terms of ice for this time of year up across the Dakotas...definitely don't see that often. I am so ready for this virus to run its course...I could go on and on but it's amazing how much you realize how great things were before. This seems legit and is encouraging: healthweather.us/?mode=AtypicalFever rate has plummeted. May be an early indicator that things are going to turn around very soon. This is as real time as it gets, and takes the lag time away from reported cases, so I think there's something to it. Stay healthy everyone! |

SARS related coronavirus typically fall off at the end of March. I'm hoping that we're at least somewhat prepared once this thing fires back up in the fall. |

What'ya know...models have trended back towards more of a true -NAO with the ridge drifting back towards Greenland and a -EPO developing towards D10. That allows the trof to build into the E US and allow much colder air to spill in towards the middle or end of next week. We'll see how it holds up...models have definitely shown a cold bias in this range most of the winter and spring so far. A killing freeze would be no good by then with morel season well underway after good conditions for growth over the next week and would also wipe out the peach and apple buds/blossoms and kill sensitive plants.

No freeze please lol. I started my garden seeds inside too early I guess. Now I already have 16 inch all plants ready to go in the ground. Was planning on getting the garden ready this weekend.

SARS related coronavirus typically fall off at the end of March. I'm hoping that we're at least somewhat prepared once this thing fires back up in the fall. Been checking the tracking maps and we continue to see a steady growth in cases through the tropics (where detection may be even worse) and southern hemisphere (where they are moving into the cool season). Like you said, many experts are saying prepare for a resurgence in the northern hemisphere fall/winter. It would seem this isn't going away until we get a vaccine or until enough of us get infected. |

Also what was originally believed to be a weakness in the virus towards warm or tropical climates may be a misinterpretation of the data. The inhabitants of the warmer climates have also been taking chloraquine to ward of malaria. Since it's coming in to focus that chloraquine affects Covid-19 may be the lower infection rates in warmer climates may be because the people have been taking a malaria preventative, not the actual climate

Hard to say. I just want this ! POOPY ! to be over with. I’ll feel much better when we begin a trend down.

Do you have a link? |

Since the weather is slow, if you haven't checked out this site it is interesting. This organization (affiliated with the University of Washington School of Medicine) models the impact of COVID-19 here in the USA by state and whole country. This is the modeling that the federal government has been citing recently. CAVEAT ALERT: This is a model and is only as good as the understanding of the system and the inputs, neither of which are all that great in my opinion...so take it with a grain of salt. Anyway, according to their projections based on current practices Missouri sees the peak load on its health care system in mid to late May and stays below the capacity. A much better situation than what is currently happening elsewhere like New York. covid19.healthdata.org/projections |

As someone who is still working, I'm hoping the owner shuts down for a while. Kind of nerve wracking in a hotel where we get people from all over the country still, if not other countries..though that is not happening as much now. We have a client..Climate Express..they drive trucks, so we have trainees come in every Sunday, from all over America. We don't know where else they have been of course. Business is very slow besides those people.

My company is moving employees around the country still on a daily basis to help deploy hardware in hospitals and build the the technology infrastructure for drive through testing sites. Sounds crazy but at times like this the lodging industry is extremely critical to remain open in the safest way possible. We have several teams that travel and being able to find lodging at a moments notice is extremely critical to being able to get needed sleep as well as not having one more thing to worry about while trying to provide the needed support in high impact areas. |

Eureka High school just confirmed the death of one of it's counselors due to Covid. My son is kind of in shock because it was his counselor. Kind of hits close to home when you think about it. Just imagine the impact it could of had if schools had stayed open and that counselor was interacting with students on a daily bases, my son included. I just wonder how long we will have to deal with this, but I would imagine at least till May, if not longer.

Most of the information is locally based with different projections for each hot zone. Sometime around the 3rd week of April for the peak with another month or so on the tail end. So, end of May and into June before normalcy will begin to return, broadly based on your locale. Unfortunately, just about every projection is still on the way up.

/r/COVID19 is a great sub for scientific articles on SARS-Cov-2
/r/Coronaviris is a much larger sub but tends to be on the alarmist side

I will say this, the whole covid situation is really making some employers true colors show. Some good and some awful.
