Just got in from shopping at a craft store for activities for the young ones as they will be out of school for 3 weeks. Mrs greenbean overheard a lady talking to another lady with a child in a stroller say "oh! And you have your baby with you! Oh don't worry, I won't get too close, I have a cold right now"... Bitch wtf?

It's not. And one of my nurses was really nervous and afraid to bring it up that she might not be fully employed for the next little bit. Her husband works in the oil field and was laid off the day after the oil crash from Russia/Saudi.
Crash happened on Monday and he was home on Tuesday.
So she's the main bread winner.

Just telling some stories so people know how people are reacting to this and what life is like on the ground
yep
I don't do facebook

but my lady says a lot of the locals are obviously paycheck to paycheck by the way they are reacting to work slowing or stopping for a bit

Citizens are gonna need some of that USA funny money or else shit will hit the fan with or without massive numbers of corona infections.

Same in canada. We have the highest household debt in the world and most people can’t miss an earnings.

Louisiana has moved to close all bars and casinos at midnight for at least 2 weeks. All restaurants will be drive-thru or take out only.

Because people won't stay home by themselves. I hate to agree with this piece of shit governor.
Nah. People from Ohio are pretty damn responsible. None of us are going to go to a bar if they say we shouldn't congregate in large groups. :rolleyes:

fucking Disney World just had a big "Farewell For A Couple Weeks" extravangza.

"we have to close because of the dangers inherent in large crowds. Let's get together one more really fucking big crowd before we go."

That's not enough since people will respond by further consolidating in those limited hours
It was 5 pm yesterday when I heard Ohio was shutting shit down after 9 pm. I hadn't planned on going to a sports bar on a Sunday - especially with no sports on - but my ass was on a stool by 6 pm.

In short - you're right.

The Governor should have announced the closings at 6 AM this morning. I guarantee you his announcement flooded the bars last night.

The total absence of common sense is more reason for panic than this virus lol.

Well the oil field is down and casino’s will be closed after tonight. Louisiana’s economy is about to tank.

Mom brought me a couple giant briskets when she was down a month ago.
i think i've got 5# of steak and 5# of burger.

I'll go to the store tonight, but if the butcher counter is bare, I'll get by.

Coronavirus in NY: Empty NYC streets reflect new coronavirus reality


This appears to be good news.
This is the wave that is coming across to the rest of us in one to two weeks.
Anybody in New York?
Are people really staying home this much?

Any update on testing?
My home office is up in mid-town and from what I've heard everyone is working from home so no one really knows what's up in the city proper. My relatives who live and work up there aren't taking this seriously at all which is making me very worried for my 88 year old uncle living in East Rockaway.

I bought several hundred dollars of ammo this week. If you saw what the last ammo shortage looked like w ppl literally fighting in the store when they wheeled a pallet out, it was bad. You can have the toilet paper.
If we all get stuck in our houses and ppl run out of food and can't get drugs or money, it could get messy fast.

Stupidest shit ever.

People are sick so I should go buy a few hundred rounds of ammo. Just in case I need to mow down wall after wall of survivors.


Ha!
