Rumor going around here in PA that we are soon to follow NYC and CA in "shelter in place"/martial law

Just witnessed a bank branch run

Line of people 12 deep all taking out as much cash as they could

Credible rumors of the same here in Colorado as well. On the bright side, If I'm home for a month or two, I should be able to get an @BUCKYLE level of beard going.

Whole bunch of salty motherfuckers out there who lost their house, because they lost their job, because of Wall Street bullshit 10 years ago saying "oh now you get it"

And the Democrats are actually opposing a lot of this stuff... it's amazing how far down the Neolibs will go.

You’ve clearly not considered the impact on supply chains due to the run on Doritos and Funyuns.

Anyone follow the Newfoundland blizzard?
I have a friend, and thoroughly enjoyed their shenanigans with Storm Chips during Snowmageddon.

Went to Smith's/Kroger's for food this morning as a Senior Shopper. Empty meat shelves but had TP. People are hoarding meat now.
Then went to local "organic" market for meat. They had a full case! Got everything I needed.
Bottom line. If you can't get bread or meat at your local Kroger's or local supermarket go to your local "organic" market. You'll pay more but you'll probably get exactly what you NEED.
And Please. Just buy what you NEED for a WEEK!

Flatten the Curve!

All the hoity toity types in NVA and MD hoarding wholefoods and costco... giant and weiss got stuff.
The parking lots are literally littered with gloves though. Total waste.

Day by day, we continue to see how the cure is going to end up being way worse than the disease.

Well, it's kind of an interesting situation. If the measures taken work pretty well, the cure will indeed be worse than the disease. If they don't, it probably won't. And, of course, what the disease would have done without the measures being taken will remain a matter of conjecture. What will be interesting to me is whether this episode of national hardship, such as it is, finally takes us out of the era of hyper-polarization both socially and politically.

Illinois has issued a shut-down order for all non-essential businesses, effective tomorrow evening.

Pretty much the same as what Cal and NY have just done.

Edit - I think it's until April 7th at this point.

April 15, 2009 - the first case of H1N1 (swine flu) is reported.

September 15, 2009 - FDA approves the first vaccine for H1N1.

Five months to find a vaccine. I hope it occurs that quickly again, but this lockdown can't be in place that long without devastating consequences.
