Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

Mayor of NO ordered everyone off streets. Fox business reporting. Also we are heading towards a total shutdown of America. Their words exactly. Said spring breakers are fixing to be ordered off beaches and in rooms. Also China said loss of 5% in retail so far but now truth comes out it was 20% loss.
 
We will see what happens. What happened today was pretty close to a lock down as is. Groups of no more than 10 people (down from 100), voluntary 15 day guidance to stay at home, etc. He's not the type of person that would make this up or try to scare people and he has only told extremely close family/friends about it so they can be prepared. I'm already stocked up so it doesn't really affect me either way as I'm prepared for the possibility.

Cool. It wasn’t directed at you personally and I hope you know that. We’ve had very good discussions in the past and I’d like to keep us friendly.

Oh yeah no problem! Just putting the info out there, it seems like we are heading that direction quickly with all the local level shutdowns starting to happen. I’m hoping if it comes to one that it will be long enough to really slow this down and then the warmer weather in April and more UV will hopefully help reduce things significantly.

With more testing rolling out I would expect the numbers in the US to climb quickly later this week as the results come in. It’ll be interesting to see how many people test positive for it but have little to no symptoms.
 
Fox business says businesses will be closed across nation shortly because most businesses have more than 10 working in an area.

That's not a mandate but a recommendation. My work just enacted work rules that we stay 6 feet apart when possible to stagger lunches so the break room doesnt fill up with 50 people from 11 to 1 as people all want to go to lunch then. We have to wipe down our forklifts 3 times a shift.
 
Another headline. Most airlines are going to file bankruptcy by May. Also the 50 billion they asked for because of virus is 3x more than bailout after 9/11.
Casinos will be also getting bailouts along with most businesses Fox business is reporting. In other words #2020theyearofbailouts
 
A stat to keep in mind. 33 million are considered small businesses in the America. 90% of America’s businesses.

Where in the hell is all this money going to come from? You can’t just print money and hand it out. The Confederacy proved that. It won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.
 
Went to my Doctor today for a yearly physical and he told me some new things I had not heard

1. The virus can live on untreated surfaces for 3 days
2. Not one health care worker who has treated a caronavirus patent that wore a mask has been infected.
3. There are 2 drugs which seem to help those that have already been infected and minimize symptons
 
So WV could be a state to keep infecting. This is gonna be interesting if govt steps in on his state.
So is there any testing in WV?

Just stating what fox business said. I know the airlines is asking for 50 million. Not sure what casinos will ask.
 
I just got back from the 3 different stores. Shelves are for the most part empty. I spoke to a clerk and they said people are getting there at 5 am and lining up and buying as much as they can without any regard for anybody else. It saddens me that people only think about themselves. Not the fact that there are many others who need to eat, buy essentials, and feed their animals. If we don't stop this selfishness, things are only going to get that much worse. This is one of the many reason we need a lockdown, otherwise, it's only a matter of time before our food supply runs short.
 
They were even telling also in some states such as NY, WA, CA businesses are firing employees so they can get unemployment benefits. Then they will rehire them when can but the businesses will also get the benefits of the aids packages from the govt
 
As far as people flocking to the Florida beach’s. The governor needs to step up to close those beaches. I’m not panicking and do not think a Nation wide shutdown is necessary. But governor need to step up to the plate to do there part. I still think people can work and come and go considering distancing is practiced and precautions or taken. People just need to listen

Not surprising at all. That’s just how society is now a days. A lot of people only care about themselves
 
Well he must live in WV
