It is insane!Trump might keep the country shut down for months this is insane.
Stay safe my friend!

it is wrong though. It is a totalitarian tactic.He wants the economy back up and going, he just can't make that happen with bigger concerns over the public's health. Of note, the governors are the ones who dictate lockdown conditions = how long, who is exempt; not Trump.
I hate to break this down under just an American scope.. but this virus is likely to take out many more Americans then the American civil war and every war after. What a fucking nightmare. Were going to beat it, but id love to see humanity pull a fast one and slip out of this somehow.
@Captain.Heroin (and any other Cali folks....or NYC or CHI for that matter)
What are you hearing locally about the homeless population? One would think that sub-group would be at very high risk given their proximety, cleanliness, and average health issues. I've heard nothing nationally. I do, at times, listen to NPR our of California, and heard the Governor was looking to buy/rent hotel rooms to house the homeless during the Wuhan flu situation. A noble concept, though I'm not sure how well he can pull if off. Any news locally on how this is effecting the homeless or what's being done to help protect them?
Plus the ones that are aren't carrying as much cash.
With the state lockdown, drive-thru foods are available as well as take-out, just no dine in. Now I'm seeing the drive-thru's put up signs that say 'card only' as they don't want to be touching cash.
They have to take your card from you and give it back
While I applaud this effort, and definitely think it's worthwhile.
Personally, I'd prefer to be on the real ventilator. The one that had to pass the obscenely strict medical equipment tests.
The thing that I couldn't help thinking, is how badly this'll fuck anyone who relies on begging for money.
As someone who used to do that, in my expert opinion I can safely say that you can't beg from people who aren't there.

I was just thinking that this is probably the most significant world event, at least from a Western perspective, since the 9/11 attacks. So, I went to the very beginning of the CEPS forum and, what do you know, the very first threads there were on the topic of the 9/11 attacks. Looks like whatever precursor forum that eventually became CEPS started in response to 9/11.

people in my city have taken their pets to the Humane Society due to fear of being infected from their pets.
It is SO SAD!
The humane society is overflowing with people’s pets now! ☹
With no one to adopt them!
I am afraid of giving it to my beloved dog.
She is a member of the family!
NO WAY am I giving her up!
I cannot imagine how all these people are just dropping off their beloved pets! WTF?!
