Other alternatives available?

None. The other stores went down at the same time.

Rant: people moving out of town because 'it must be less likely to catch coronavirus' not thinking that they're the ones who might be spreading it there.

Rant: I burned my supper.

Here in Canada they are planning to give EI (without the customary wait) to people who can't work because of COVID-19. I guess I'm not too surprised that the US doesn't have any similar thing in place.

Yup, this is one of the things Trump is specifically fighting.

And now I'm in the uncomfortable position of having to break the bad news to my guards that the city is considering closing the building. A decision hasn't been reached and I am one of the ones arguing strongly against it, but it looks like they are leaning towards closing.

This is insanity. There is absolutely no reason society needs to be shutting down like this for a virus that isn't even that deadly. I'm thinking of maybe trying to organize a protest outside the homes of the mayor and all the members of city council to pressure them into not closing public buildings and to defy the governor's orders and reopen the schools here.

Make sure your fellow patriots keep a distance of six to ten feet between each other at the protest.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I don't care what it's called. The government here is now putting an undue burden on its citizens for no good reason and it's time to start fighting back.

You should be mad at the federal government for not mandating normal, ordinary and necessary things for workers like mandatory PTO/sick pay and not at your city council for taking prudent measures to stop the virus.

Be sure to inform the CDC and WHO of your insights, Commodore. They will be pleased to hear that the measures being instituted are unnecessary, and needn't be so inconvenient. It is a wonder you are not in charge of pandemic response.

Italy had 250 deaths today and it goes higher every day.

The threat is very real once all the hospitals max out on their resources.

Remember to keep the protestors at least 6 feet apart.

In Italy they already are doing triaging because there simply are not enough ventiliators.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

They aren't the ones instituting the measures though. It's idiot politicians that are buying into the hysteria and not considering the secondary effects their decisions are going to have on people.

The CDC is recommending basically every unit of government shut down non-essential meetings, gatherings and public spaces. (IIRC)

Didn't someone post here that China is donating a bunch of ventilators and prioritizing Italian orders for more ventilators due to the help Italy rendered early in the crisis? Or did I read that somewhere else?

I think I found the worst thing ever when googling a problem:

Reddit User #1: "This comment has been overwritten by an open source script to protect this user's privacy blah blah blah"
Reddit User #2: "Thanks! That solved it!"

I've heard that as well.
