Italy is around 60 million. About the size of California (40 million) and New York (20 million) combined.

Italy has 330 million people too? I didn't know, I thought they were a small nation

While i still consider the virus a minimal issue, if there is going to be a response, it needs to be a full response. You wont often hear this from me, but prickster is on point here. The federal administration has met with the retailers to address the hoarding issue, so that should resolve in the coming week. I personally think they should limit domestic travel. If youre going to do something, then do something, not a half measure. There is the added benefit of bringing about the end of the flu season early

“I tried earlier this week to appeal to everyone’s good judgment, to stay home from bars, not to congregate in crowds,” he said. "It’s unfortunate that many people didn’t take that seriously. The time for persuasion and public appeals is over. The time for action is here. This is not a joke. No one is immune to this. And you have an obligation to act in the best interests of all the people of this state.”

Now the hoarding will really start.
Illinois just closed all restaurants and Bars until March 30. People are going to starve.
Drive-through and Curbside Pickup can still operate.
So Can I still go grab my Little Caesars pizza since there's no dining area? What about the Subway in the Gas Station....On 3/15/2020 12:20 AM, Bill Prince wrote:
Children under 6 will see almost nothing. For people between 6 and 50, it will be largely like the flu. It's not until you get over 50, 60, or 70 that the statistics (that we have so far) start to look scary. If you are a male, or a smoker, or have other conditions like diabetes, COPD, and a few others things will be worse.

In all seriousness, and even with the amount of shit I talk. I do hope all of you are prepared, both in your family lives and in your networks.
We are working on contingencies, particularly in continuity for our communities. Our staff is as protected as can reasonably be. We have plans for dealing with customers.
My home is as ready as reasonable. I even have a quarantine (heated camper) if it comes to it to isolate my babies from the inevitable flu rampage. I have resources ready for my people, and some excess for others in need.
I still think this is not the end of the world the media is trying to frenzy us with. I'm satisfied with our government's response. The resilience of the average American is unmatched, so the hiccups in response make it more than manageable.

It may be that the workers get off around 4 or 5 and put pressure into the retail as they all rush it. Maybe all we needed was a weekend. Ammo is starting to get thin on the shelves, but that's just because ammo deliveries haven't changed volumes yet.
I'm heading to the grocery store here in a bit, I heard they got fed up and started limiting volume. It's sad when people are so dumb that stock boys have to parent them

Things seem to have calmed down a bit today... I didn't go to any grocery stores, but I went to Mendards, and I'd say there was roughly a quarter as many people on there as on a typical Saturday, and there was very little traffic on the streets for a Saturday. I think we must be too the point where everybody is done hoarding toilet paper and they all went home to hide... or perhaps they just knew the toilet paper was all gone everywhere...

People are getting serious, took the neice to buy a 9mm today and people are buying guns 2 and 3 at a time. The toilet paper sales are dropping at that store and more actual necessities, long term foods, dry goods, etc are starting to move. Maybe people are beginning to calm their tits. Or they just have more toilet paper than they know what to do with and are starting to realize they're hungry. People ought to consider heavy mil contractor bags, visqueen and duct tape, cause the coroner won't be doing house calls.
It sucks that if this goes sideways that the elderly are the impacted. Those are the ones with the know how to get by. Half our population doesn't even know how to make a ham sandwich

Our store last night was completely out of Bananas, but had all the other fresh fruit/veggies.
I was also surprised at the number of people taking pictures of the empty toilet paper shelves, not quite sure who they would share them with. Or in 50 years they can tell their grandkids as they're forcing them to sit through watching their 8 billion pictures 'Remember back in '20 we had that virus scare and people went crazy'On 3/14/2020 1:43 PM, Bill Prince wrote:

I won’t go into the grocery stores while the crazies are running amok, I went in the other day and immediately turned around. I swear it’s scarier than the virus.
But I noticed people didn’t seem to be buying up all the fresh produce. So now I’m wondering if they were stocking up on potatoes. Whenever I buy baking potatoes, I’m amazed how much food you get for 49 cents a pound. And you don’t have to freeze or even refrigerate them. I you have a bunker, that’s probably where you should be storing your potatoes anyway. I think it used to be called a root cellar.
