That’s a real slippery slope. PANIC. UNHEARD OF HOARDING, BLACKMARKET FOOD SALES.

Inciting panic right now would be a horrific NEXT STEP. Pray we don’t go there.

The irrational TP shortage is a prime example of how ‘delicate’ pun intended, this really is.

The pseudo "panic" was because of the lack of vision/altruism of the big box stores ( or officials) to simply limit the sales of 1 package to a customer. The big box stores had no dog in the fight to prevent "panic", their goal is to sell stuff, and make money, being better for them in one week rather then spread out over weeks.

Slopes aren't slippery until you wet them.

If requiring unlimited daily access to a grocery store in the beginning of a pandemic is the lack "oil" in your eyes, you might need to find another planet to inhabit.

And to answer your question then, no.

Yes, of course we need food to eat.

But reducing the trips to the grocery store would certainly help, maybe like you can only go once a week, based on your tag number, house number, birthday or something else fair to all.

Still don't see why they don't at least only open alternating check out counter lanes.

Chiu’s analysis shows California’s strict shelter in place efforts appear to be working.

Over half of the 50 SARS-CoV-2 virus genomes his San Francisco-based lab sequenced in the past two weeks are associated with travel from outside the state. Another 30% are associated with health care workers and families of people who have the virus.

“Only 20% are coming from within the community. It’s not circulating widely,” he said.

That’s fantastic news, he said, indicating the virus has not been able to gain a serious foothold because of social distancing.

It's like a wildfire, Chiu said. A few sparks might fly off the fire and land in the grass and start new fires. But if the main fire is doused and its embers stomped out, you can kill off an entire strain. In California, Chiu sees a lot of sparks hitting the ground, most coming from Washington, but they're quickly being put out.

An example was a small cluster of cases in Solano County, northeast of San Francisco. Chiu’s team did a genetic analysis of the virus that infected patients there and found it was most closely related to a strain from China.

At the same time, his lab was sequencing a small cluster of cases in the city of Santa Clara in Silicon Valley. They discovered the patients there had the same strain as those in Solano County. Chiu believes someone in that cluster had contact with a traveler who recently returned from Asia.

“This is probably an example of a spark that began in Santa Clara, may have gone to Solano County but then was halted,” he said.

The virus, he said, can be stopped.

If your complaining about the quarantine.. that's your governors call this is state by state so far

Please do not take this political.

We have become Wuhan China and Milan Italy when their governments 'Announced' days in advance of lock downs.

Good vid PBR,

Honetly im spooked to hell.

Ive chronic lung issues and am at the later end of things. If I get it, Im pretty sure im F-ed.

Here is what came from my lungs last night, and I dont have this new virus yet.

Some have suggested that using that delay to increase life support capacity
(i.e. sourcing mechanical ventilators)
in hospital intensive care units could help.
Sadly, preliminary (and limited) data suggests that up to 90 percent of COVID-19 patients who go on life support will die. So ‘more ventilators’ does not seem like the game-changer we seek. As a life support specialist, myself, I am greatly chagrined to admit this.

Germany currently has identified 31,554 active COVID-19 cases, and has had 149 deaths. While in South Korea around 120 of its 9,000 COVID-19 cases have so far ended in death, leading to a crude mortality rate of 1.3 percent. This downward trajectory of the COVID-19 mortality rate has caused the prominent scientist, Dr John Ioannidis of Stanford University, to speculate that it may end up being as low as 0.05 percent.

I am glad that extreme social distancing has been enforced. I do not think that either the young or the old would have taken the pandemic seriously until they saw schools and offices close. But once these measures have proven their effect, and the virus is demonstrably suppressed, public health authorities could consider ratcheting restrictions down in a way that respects demographic vulnerability. Perhaps two weeks from now, healthy people under 40 could return to work provided that they have no vulnerable people in their household. Perhaps a week after that, healthy people aged 40 to 50 could join them, and nurseries could reopen.
