This is a lie by ommission and a false equivalency. Obama called a 'public health emergency' early into it, just not a 'national emergency'.

And there was a reason for that. The Swine flu was no different to the regular flu in terms of mortality. It's a false equivalency with coronavirus. That's why there was a more measured response in relation to level of 'emergency'.

Grocery stores are mental packed here. Safeway had no collard greens or ribs.
Husband had to go to Smart & Final but the queues at the checkouts are like Christmas eve.

What are you going to do? Do you have enough money to bunker down in a hotel?

Okay, Santa Clara County have now banned any gathering over 100 people. It's hit us pretty hard here with new people recorded sick today.

All schools in Louisiana just closed for a month. Feel sorry for those parents that have to work and don’t have anyone to watch their kids. No gatherings over 250 people. 33 cases as of now.

Just stay away for a few days.
I have normal needs at grocery but there ain't no way I'm going in there.

I have kidney beans and canned tomatoes. If I have to shoot some squirrels I will do that.

We had a company golf tournament tomorrow. Tons of money being dumped at this small course. They called the owner of our company and canceled the tournament :|
