Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

And those dads should get reductions in payment during this period where businesses are being forced to close by that very same govt that wants to put hem in jail.
What do you mean "reductions"? That's not how it works but sound' s a lot like intervention.
 
Project Strategic Shopping my have to be resurrected. Who are the grocery suppliers? Understand the logistics and follow these trucks to the grocery stores. That or sit outside until they open for essential items that are getting bare because of panic.

I have no doubt that some are doing this very thing. I believe some get up @ 3am & go park at stores just to be the first into the stores & cram all they can into a big shopping cart so nothing is left..

Stores are fine here. The initial runs hit hard but they're getting restocked quickly. Their suppliers haven't slowed down
 
Understood. China’s rates are declining though so that seems way too high. Plus, wouldn’t all of the actions taken have an impact on that number?
No one believes anything from Red China, from, "Americans started the woohoo virus and gave it to us", to "Red China commies donated medical equipment to Italy".

Stop the panic and tell the country to get back to work

We need an immediate five-week national lockdown to defeat coronavirus in America


I am an MIT-trained physicist and complexity scientist who studies pandemics. I have warned about global pandemics due to increasing travel for 15 years. I recommended community based monitoring of symptoms to stop Ebola in West Africa in 2014, and it worked. The fastest and even the only way to contain COVID-19 in the United States is a five-week national lockdown.

The human and economic costs of delaying this lockdown will be staggering. The COVID-19 outbreak has many more cases now than are visible (tip of the iceberg) and they are growing rapidly. Absent sufficiently effective intervention, new cases will increase 1.3 to 1.5 times each day. We had almost 20,000 cases in the United States on Friday, over 5,800 more cases than the previous day. Without a lockdown, in one week there will be about 200,000. In two weeks: 2,000,000. One in seven cases require hospitalization and 5% require ICU care with ventilators to survive. There aren’t nearly enough ventilators available.
