Food shortage implies people standing in lines all over the place st grocery stores in hopes that they get a can of beans. I doubt we're going to see a lot of that.Your food shortage is coming very soon. Get ready for a rough 2-3 weeks. Tyson Wilkesboro is one of the larger processing plants in the nation. A private firm finished off testing everyone and when they reopen the doors Tuesday not many will be coming back im afraid.
Let’s not be hyperbolic. A major food shortage is unlikely. Sure certain meats may be in short supply, but there’s plenty of other food supply.Your food shortage is coming very soon.

Who?Sounds like some high level people are starting to quarantine as they've come into contact with some virus people.

Fauci and Redfield.Who?
Larry,Interesting article that suggests that going to the grocery store is not where many new infections are originating from:
The Risks - Know Them - Avoid Them
Please read this link to learn about the author and background to these posts. It seems many people are breathing some relief, and I’m not sure why. An epidemic curve has a relatively predictable upslope and once the peak is reached, the back slope can also be predicted. We have robust data from...erinbromage.wixsite.com
“But where are people contracting the infection in the community? I regularly hear people worrying about grocery stores, bike rides, inconsiderate runners who are not wearing masks.... are these places of concern? Well, not really. Let me explain.”
“In order to get infected you need to get exposed to an infectious dose of the virus;”
“outbreaks spread from shopping appear to be responsible for a small percentage of traced infections.”
Regarding the chance of getting infected: “The principle is viral exposure over an extended period of time.”
“Even if they were 50 feet away (choir or call center), even a low dose of the virus in the air reaching them, over a sustained period, was enough to cause infection and in some cases, death.”
“Social distancing rules are really to protect you with brief exposures or outdoor exposures.”
“Taken together, for a person shopping: the low density, high air volume of the store, along with the restricted time you spend in the store, means that the opportunity to receive an infectious dose is low.”
However, unfortunately for grocery store workers, the same cannot be said about low risk since they’re there for hours.
Any comments about this article? Did y’all already assume these things?

Unfortunately, this means that social distancing only 6 feet would not do all that much good in restaurants.

Regarding this article, I may have to rethink my grocery store shopping strategy. I had previously assumed the smartest way is to buy more things at each trip and thus limit the number of trips. However, that means more exposure per trip. If this article is on the right path, it would be better to go for, say, fifteen different 10 minute trips vs, say, two hour long trips.
Opinions?
