Coronavirus Outbreak: Part 4

Nope, CH.1.1 still doesn’t seem to be gaining market share. Nationwide, it’s just been just hanging in the 1.5-2% range for about 5 weeks.



Even in the regions where it has the highest %, it’s pretty stable. And XBB.1.5 is gaining ground in those areas.

Yeah apparently it was over south Charlotte around 10am. Documented from one of the local weathermans backyard. Crazy. Heading towards our Army and Marine bases.

That’s a “thanks for the local report” :heart: in case that wasn’t obvious.

The 2020s are just beyond bizarre…

I love Brad Panovich. I always follow him for big weather events, even though I’m just outside his area.

I don’t normally watch his news channel, but I do check into him when things get crazy weatherwise bc he’s so excited usually.

So I think it’s kinda hilarious that now that the balloon is over the Carolinas the news headlines are like “Gastonia Police warn citizens to not take pop shots at the balloon in an attempt to take it down”. There are tons from all different local government agencies in NC and SC saying that :rofl:

They are prepping now to take it down. Honestly, they shouldn’t have allowed it to cross the U.S. but the argument is that it was dangerous to take down…

I’m trying to follow some of the coverage, but I haven’t found a good source. The fact 3 coastal airports are on a ground stop is encouraging though.

I’m watching it on Fox News. They are talking to different experts about what could be recovered and what it took to take it down. Not too much political talk/ arguments but I’m sure thats coming and then I’ll turn it off.

Saw this on FB and though this is a very serious event, I thought I’d share here since were talking about it :grin:

And it’s not dangerous now? Hmmm. Let’s just let it go all the way through the US before pulling it down.

I can’t find any coverage on tv besides cnn. Which is weird. Even my google search results aren’t bringing up things you are sharing with me.

Oh, I’m with you. It shouldn’t have been allowed to enter. It should have been taken down. We had no idea what this thingis capable of. What if it is about more than just surveillance? We don’t even know the potential full ramifications of allowing it to cross the U.S. I’m just saying what the reported argument was to wait till it was over water again.
I wish they would update on the one over South America.


Everything else looks like still images. Only live coverage I found is on Fox News.

Oh, to clarify, that was directed at our government, not you. I’m totally in agreement with you.

Ooooh there’s an actual “fox news” channel. Found it. The Surfside Beach coverage is the exact beach our house is near.
