17 years as an ICU nurse in a big city, high volume hospital system. If I were still working, I'd be at ground zero of this thing. Not an expert, and my stuff is a little dusty, but I'd say that this discussion is a lot more reasoned and intelligent than most of what I see in the media and on the web. As to discussing it, the entire country has been shut down. Sort of tough to avoid the topic these days. I also think being able to discuss it with a group that you "know" and trust can be helpful too...

Models at least hinting at a storm late next weekend that could have some wet snow involved across the region. Very impressive shot of cold air for this time of year. Odds are very low, but something to look at besides watch paint dry If any pattern will produce snow in April, that would be the one.

12z gfs continues to be pretty darn aggressive with these pushes of cold air in the next 2 weeks.

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. This will have a significant impact on our lives until a widely available vaccine is developed.

Hard to say. I just want this ! POOPY ! to be over with. I’ll feel much better when we begin a trend down. I think the only thing I'll actually start to feel better about is when we start mass serological testing. We need to see just how much we either screwed up, or were screwed from the get-go.

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 I'm interested to see the case study on that. Do you have a link?

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.

Live coverage of the jonesboro storm-- @brtn was spot on. Went from a small funnel to a life-threatening tornado within 60 seconds.

That's going to be a pretty costly hail storm in Jeff City. Hopefully it loses some punch before making into the metro area here. Still a very stout TBSS

As for Covid-19, the USA now leads the world in the number of total cases surpassing China earlier this evening. A vast majority of the cases are still in New York and New Jersey but it's steadily climbing in Illinois as well particularly in and around Chicago which isn't a surprise. That also depends on which numbers you subscribe to. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.14.20036178v1

Summarize please. I didn't see it. Thank you. Expect an unprecedented 30% unemployment rate and a 50% drop in GDP. However...such a scenario may be followed by a sharp rebound in 2020-Q4 and 2021-Q1 with strong stimulus policies. In other words, pessimistic even downright bleak short term, but optimistic long term. Those who invest at the perfect time are going to cash out huge when we recover from this.
