D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 1 minute ago, KD in CA said: It's overdue, along with shutting down all modes of public transport. If we're gonna do this, we need to go full out for a brief time rather than do what we're doing now for months on end. California just did the whole state. I think they've known the numbers don't add up awhile now. Have to slow it down with drastic measures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-trump-altered-coronavirus-to-chinese-virus-remarks-2020-3 Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he called the coronavirus the "Chinese virus" to hit back at the Chinese government for spreading the conspiracy theory that the American military was responsible for the initial outbreak in Wuhan, China, which is the epicenter of the crisis. "I didn't appreciate the fact that China was saying that our military gave it to them," Trump said. "I think saying that our military gave it to them creates a stigma." Agree with Trump here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE: A Global Level 4 Health Advisory. All Americans abroad told to come home. All Americans at home told not to plan international travel. “If you choose to travel internationally, your travel plans may be severely disrupted, and you may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite timeframe.” Possibly related: Trump eyes grounding jets, halting stock trading, and ordering shelter in place. “European nations are also considering grounding passenger jets. . . . There are some internal government models that show that the number of people infected in the coming two months could reach over 5 million.” And: “The moves were described as very seriously being discussed and not imminent. However, we were also told that decisions are moving fast at the top levels of the administration.” Remember (like last week) when the standard criticism was that Trump wasn’t doing enough? . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think we should tell the sick & elderly to seclude themselves and let everyone else get back to work. Most elderly people don't work & can more easily quarantine themselves for weeks or months with little loss to the economy. With all the resources being dedicated/lost to this we could easily make accommodations for those who need assistance. For the rest of us, some reasonable caution and social distance is sufficient. And if we do get the slant eyed sickness we'll just have to suck it up and deal with having flu like symptoms for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'm happy to raid the stock market while the villagers cower in the cellar. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 California orders its nearly 40 million residents to stay home to prevent the spread of coronavirus "We project that roughly 56% of our state's population -- 25.5 million people -- will be infected with the virus over an eight-week period," he said in a Wednesday letter to Trump asking him to send the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to the port of Los Angeles for use through September 1. Under the order, essential services such as gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores and delivery restaurants will remain open. So will banks, local government offices that provide services and law enforcement agencies. Nonessential services such as dine-in restaurants, bars, gyms and convention centers will shut down. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/us/california-coronavirus-stay-home-order/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An endless quarantine will massacre the entire economy and in short order, you're not going to have order. You have lots of families with now with zero money coming in and you have millions of people sitting around doing absolutely nothing, with nowhere to go, day after day. That's not going to last long. I'd give it another week, tops. You have millions of square feet of lightly guarded, fully stocked, all but vacated, retail in a country filled with heavily armed, bored, very panicked citizenry. The more the governors keep taking away stuff, the more the risk for unrest will grow. Just like the healthcare system isn't built to handle a pandemic, the law enforcement apparatus isn't built to handle widespread, heavily armed unrest that can break out at any time of the day...because nobody has anything to do or anywhere to go. The government needs to give people a purpose other than "just stay at home." Edited March 20, 2020 by dpberr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Trucker couple reports from the road Ed told Doocy that one of the problems the couple is running into is finding food on the road because a lot of the chain stores won't let drivers walk up to the drive-thru windows. However, according to Ed, a lot of "mom and pop" local restaurants are putting up signs saying, "you are welcome to walk up and call us ahead of time and we'll even bring the food to your truck." "There are several police departments throughout several states that are helping truck drivers find safe places to park, restroom facilities, and they're even taking the driver to get food or bringing food to them," Tracy chimed in. "So that's really nice that the community is really stepping up to help the truck drivers." https://www.foxnews.com/media/truckers-road-coronavirus-shutdowns-grocery-hoarding This is sad , they are trying to bring goods to restock grocery stores but now their normal restaurants have to close. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCP is literally harvesting organs, running concentration camps, engaged in ethnic cleansing -- on top of their other crimes against their own citizens. That regimes stands against everything the progressive left (and establishment media left) claims to care about, yet they lick their boots and take their money without a second thought. Why? They're hypocrites by and large, dishonest by and large, and some are literal enemies of the people because of it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requests by businesses to be designated an essential function as described below, should only be made if they are NOT covered by the following guidance. </snip> Here's an article In a press conference today, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo announced orders for residents to stay at home amid rising COVID-19 concerns. The governor was careful to avoid terms like “shelter in place” during the otherwise typically blunt presser, but noted a “100% workforce reduction,” with the exclusion of services deemed essential. The rules take effect Sunday evening. “This is the most drastic action we can take,” Cuomo said, following yesterday’s lead of California Governor Gavin Newsom. Cuomo went on to note that things like “solitary exercise” would be excluded from the ruling, but the state will be aggressive in making sure that citizens adhere to the rules. Mass transit will remain operational and restaurants, food delivery and banks will remain in service. Cuomo wasn’t able to answer a question about laundry services, but the state will make a full list of exceptions available this afternoon. </snip> 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
