I am not one of those that’s are not going to complain because I’m a hard-working individual. All I’m saying is there is no way the government can take care of everyone and everything by bailing them out

Its a double edge sword though. What happens when someone brings it into the business?

It does appear to be about over in China. There is a obvious pattern here.

I’d advise the following

1. don’t trust the communist Chinese government
2. China used draconian measures to stop it. They placed dirt mounds on the interstates to stop people from leaving.

We have plenty of visual on the countries ahead of us in the curve. We can watch what's happening there and get a sense of where we are heading both in cases and responses.

Yep and the lesson we should be learning from those other countries is that we need to institute a total shutdown much, much sooner (like right now actually) we’ve already completely screwed ourselves on testing so there’s that
 
Go ahead and shut everything down for 2 weeks. Let’s get this over with so we can move forward with our lives. A 2-3 week shut down won’t kill the US but this half ass process that is dragged out over 1-2 months will. Let’s start being real guys. Pull the dang bandaid off. We will recover.

Someone just said the president was speaking at 9 tonight but I don’t see it reported anywhere.

Unfortunately it took two months for China if we can believe them

If they don't institute a total shutdown, I will be beyond furious with our gov't. It's now or never. They need to get off their damn high horse and realize they are going to put every one of is in danger by trying to downplay this. And this may be considered political and if it doesn't belong here, I apologize in advance. But if Trump say's that America has this under control, I am going to legit scream!

That’s why I said shut it down for 2 weeks. Get it over with.

From how things sound that's where we are headed most likely. However chances are some areas might be longer. In likelyhood, states are one by one shutting down. I think GA is coming soon just by how the NE has been going. If not sooner, by next week.

Or maybe we can use things like stats and determine those by FAR at risk, keep them from getting infected and do our best to live smart and try not to incite panic.

My company just announced no hiring till end of May

My sister just started a new job down in Florida today (they initially hired her three weeks back). They gave her a computer and told her to go home and read. At least she's in the door, hopefully she doesn't get kicked out the door because of the downturn.

2-3 weeks shutdown will not be anywhere near enough
 
This is going to be months not weeks before it gets better. Obviously everything can't stop that long but schools,concerts,sports and vacations are cancelled for two months best case

Why do you think two weeks is long enough? Is it because you think the virus will be contained or the economy can't take longer?

You can’t contain this virus, we can’t even contain the flu. But a 1-2 week shut down will work to help with the increased cases I think.

It’s going away when 90s and humidity kills it off naturally. Then it probably re-emerge in October/November

There’s no evidence to show that very warm temps and humidity will completely kill off the virus, it slows the spread for sure but how much nobody knows

Do you even remotely understand the undertaking of shutting an entire country down? The logistics of it? The preparation of it before you even announce it? Im not sure what you expect Trump to tell you? To panic? That's its going to be aweful? That's it not under control? Don't take any personal offense to this but some of you need to be put under anesthesia until this is over for your own well being.

You just like to argue with me, don't you? No matter what I say, regardless of how much validity it has, you always seem to one-up me. And yeah, I want Trump to take this seriously. There is a time and place for panic and this is it. Have you not heard what Dr. Fauci said? Or do you just ignore professional medical advice? Do you not see what happened in Italy and the dire warning they put out? And yeah, that's highly offensive. Stop trying to downplay everything.
 
Idris Elba revealed on Monday that he has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

"This morning I tested positive for Covid 19," he tweeted. "I feel ok, I have no symptoms so far but have been isolated since I found out about my possible exposure to the virus. Stay home people and be pragmatic. I will keep you updated on how I’m doing. No panic."


In an accompanying video, Elba added: "I didn't have any symptoms. I got tested because I realized I was exposed to someone who had also tested positive. I found out last Friday that they were tested positive. I quarantined myself and got a test immediately and got the results back today."

The asymptomatic rate has to be a huge percentage.

I agree but they believe the govt and banks have all the money to give to everyone and everything. I hope they are right. I am ready for this to be over.
