china closing off cities just indicates lack of experience and being unprepared, the US has been preparing for such situations since the cold war and acting rashly won't help anything, our government may make mistakes and act slowly oftentimes but it never acts irrational or without thought, everything is planned and orderly even when it fails.

Vegas is half empty. Look at any live cam. I visit there multiple times a week. It's a ghost town.
There are over 1000 people under observation in Vegas but they can't get test kits...

perhaps a paradigm shift is taking place
the shrewd MBA/Lawyer/Banker-Broker Analyst is no longer the goal-keeper in-charge
with a Pathogen Pandemic , 24-7-365 as the near future way-of-life... health safety will be the replacement 'drive-chain' of the new socio-economic business model...
old models of Globalism even socialism will be cast aside if this Pandemic persists for longer than a black-swan event Crisis
health safety will preempt business world savvy and the production line virus transmission will become the costly expense to eradicate close to 100% as possible.... 8 hour shifts will be 50-50 experience-virus containment...so productivity will be reset 45% lower than present productivity claims by statistics manipulators the shrewd CEOs hire on today
the Corporatocracy rise will demote the current high-flyers like Bezoz hiding-under-the-blanket types in the corporate landscape... also the Bill gates vaccinator type will be Vetted very/very deeply with his views on population, also his views on Eugenics with a deep-pockets Foundation funding his 'visions' of Tomorrows world
dystopia commeth on a virus disrupter aimed at economy systems

It’s physically impossible to quarantine a city as large as Los Angeles and NYC. My guess is that these job postings are for quarantines of individual people, and not the cities.

While I appreciate this update, if I had to guess, they are talking about quarantining sick people in their homes. However - I have heard that cities could shut down. Like in New York, stopping all mass-transit. And buildings are being shut down in Seattle and New York already.

I wonder how many people are exposed. I believe it will be hard to get any kind of handle on this for any kind of full blown quarantine.
Just read about an Uber driver in NY who tested positive. How many did he expose?
