By now haven't we determined that total infected isn't a meaningful statistic?
Isn't it much more useful to know the infected at-risk population?

The "other locations" just passed the mainland China numbers today. Testing has
not really started in the US; reports are that we are 10-12 days after the
Italy numbers. Hard to make a real gauge of this until testing actually starts
here.

While i still consider the virus a minimal issue, if there is going to be a

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

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....

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

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...

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

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

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

I won’t go into the grocery stores while the crazies are running amok, I went

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.
