Coronavirus (No politics)

[volwindy]

NC Governor just closed all K-12 schools for the next two weeks. Some schools just had spring break this week.

Yesterday Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC area) announced school would go on for a half week this coming week and then the following week would be Spring Break, moved up from April. People were pissed. They should love the governor now.

Jackson County, where I live, they had spring break this past week, so they’re getting three weeks off, but it seems that plans are being developed for home studies and assignments.

School has been canceled on Fort Campbell. They are moving to distance learning (even my 2nd grader).

I think a lot of places are managing the circumstances the best they can all things considered.

Went to our local store in a Memphis suburb. No fruit, no meat, no rice, no frozen foods.

Interesting times.

Oh I understand why they're doing it. The places I frequent are doing a good job managing things, under the circumstances. It's just crazy that they have to. I share wanting to be prepared. Lord know we restocked our pantry. I just never thought I'd see this kind of thing in the U.S.

OVER REACTION

Probably, but people tend to overreact when they're affraid. They'll do about anything to feel like they have some control.

I get that, but this has been something else. I'm honestly baffled at the, well to put it nicely, "stupidity."

People are nuts. Heck I'm not immune to it. While I know, intellectually, that all this will blow over, but part of me wants to go hold up on a mountain somewhere. Hopefully all this starts to settle down in a couple of weeks.

When will the drive thru test be happening?

Talked to a teacher here today in my part of Georgia. We're shut down for 2 weeks, but they're expecting longer, possibly the rest of the year. They're working on a virtual graduation.

Aldi in Oolt was out of almost everything (canned goods, produce, meat) yesterday afternoon. Food City on 58 @ Greenwood was a little better about 6:30. Went by again this evening and it was way better.

It’s like Luther predicted 10’ of snow!

Disappointing to hear about people like that. Especially that guy who was in the Air Force
