I can't go to Florida house because even though there is a beach within a one minute walk, the county voted to close it for now, even to residents. I guess it's hard to determine residents from non-residents. So far, there hasn't been one case within 60 miles of there, and I guess they want to keep it that way.

If the Earth was really round, wouldn't the virus fall off when the Earth rotates? I'm thinking this proves it's flat. Either that, or we are in a simulation.

I had already joined up but when I was 19 the government was telling many of my friends to leave home, take up arms and go fight a foreign enemy. Do you know what? Every single one of them did it. They could have exercised their free will but they would have gone to jail. This inconvenience is really nothing.

It’s a lot easier to swallow the inconveniences if the response actually matches the threat.

I just got to NY tonight to position myself for a trip that was supposed to leave tomorrow morning. Then I find the first day is cancelled. So I get to sit here all day tomorrow and hope that day 3 and 4 are not... and THEN... hope that I can get home to Florida. This thing sucks donkey balls.

Why is there so much panic?

Love the meme.

the US is very vulnerable right now -- perfect time for a Middle Eastern attack like 9-11, only this time it could be much worse

They are short sighted. This isn’t going to be a one hit wonder, there will be a second wave and possibly a 3rd one. God forbid this turns out to be seasonal like the flu. They might have killed the economy out of fear instead of waiting for data.

Just wait until next year when it isnt an election year, or somebody the press likes gets into office. If this is here to stay seasonally it will magically not be as bad anymore.

I would panic if I had to suck donkey balls.

It’s pretty laid back here , there’s less traffic on 64 and in town later at night but other than signs on the doors telling about store hour adjustments , you really can’t tell there’s much going on . There seems to be more people out walking their dogs and walking in general in the evening . Could just be the 80 degree weather.

Same here but I’m still being aware and doing things I wouldn’t have given a second thought before. All the dine in restaurants are doing call ins and curb side service. Grocery stores are wiped out of most meat, chicken, TP, sanitizer, etc. I went to Walmart today only because I wanted to turn 5 different stops into 2. Some had on masks some had on gloves but everyone was using wipes and wiping carts before they touched them. My gf and her neighbor did a yard sale today and was packed for most of the day. I guess people just wanted to get out and do something.

I think the fear is that this bug mutates a third time then goes dormant for a number of years. If what I'm reading between the lines is correct they want to develop a vaccine before it goes dormant. I think they fear the next wave more than this one. I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

And I think you just backed up my argument without realizing it. You joined up (as did I) knowing what the risks were, the .gov didn’t take your free will, they took your friends.
