Well...chickenish.

Agree with all of this.
Boston was shut down after the attack because the terrorist was still at large. They shut down until they found him hiding in a boat. Business at usual after that.

It'll start today with an announcement at 3 (i think) but will be just curfew and shut down suggestions...

It's 3PM, no announcement. I guess Trump didn't get the memo from your friend.

News Conference in a few minutes !!!!

Do or Die !!

Lots of States announcing similar policies today !! Hmmm 😷🥶

😷🥶

It's just the virus taskforce, not the President.

I haven't seen Jody's series yet. I purchased series one on Amazon a while ago and haven't got around to it. Thanks for the reminder!

That sucks. All of our restaurants are still open for pickup (only) and delivery.

The "more to it" part is the math part, sorry to say. Your average medium-sized city has 1000 or fewer ICU beds. The virus is novel and hardly anyone has built-in immunity. If the infected but well infect the already sick elderly all at once we will overload our hospital system and thousands (or even millions) will die. The correct answer is to slow everything down so those sick patients trickle in over a longer period of time.

If the system overloads we won't just triage by age and medical history. Young healthy people who suffer an accident, for example, may never get treatment in time and die from otherwise treatable injuries. You don't want to live in a world where the medical system is overburdened and barely functional. That world is what we are trying to prevent.

As if Grubhub already didn’t have their sh!t together.

I can imagine it now, they tell you 3 hours for delivery— but it really will take 6.

Are they that bad? I stopped using them in favor of Postmates because the latter was transparent about how their drivers were paid and included a space for me to tip.

I'm watching.

shut down a city sure that's doable shut down the country no way they can enforce it.

To many people rely on google maps and the interstate system if you have an old road map of the state you drive in you can go pretty much anywhere and never see people let alone cops.

No martial law and no curfew, just 'strong recommendations'. Tell your friend I said 'good job' fearmongering.

Darn...Operation: Oh Yeah? You Just Wait... has to wait a little bit longer to commence. No matter.
