    Illinois just closed all restaurants and bars starting tomorrow at close of business through at least March 30th.
    Drive thrus are still open.

    However, elections on Tuesday are still a go. "They don't know when they may have them if they cancel."

    I honestly expected a dead at night lockdown.

    I saw no movement at the local army reserve.

    So far doesn't sound like it.

    Buy less stuff.

    How many closet alcoholics and other drug addicts out there are in full panic mode? Then we have the prescription meds addicts.....
    Interesting few weeks coming up if there is a shutdown/lockdown. There will be major looting at stores where there is booze and any kind of food.

    People in general, and Americans in particular are very restless and easily bored. Especially anyone under 35 years of age. Do you guys expect everyone to stay at their residence for 2 weeks straight?

    Still listening to the presser.

    All options are still on the table.
    Someone did ask about a nationwide shut down. "all options on the table"

    The fed threw a bazooka and the markets crapped.
    That is a bit of pie in trumpstein's face.

    Re: 20 million now quarantined in China from Coronavirus

    Seeing as how USA seems ill prepared for this via medical equip/supplies a lockdown of some sort is needed.

    NY and Cali should already be contained and Washington state also.

    Speaking on ABC's "This Week" program, Fauci acknowledged that the 13,000 respirators that were in the U.S. stockpile may not be enough if the number of cases in the United States jumped sharply. "What we're trying to do is make sure they don't get to the worst-case scenario."

    That seems like an obscenely low number to me.

    You mean ventilators not respirators, right?.

    Hospitals have low surge capacity and generally each hospital doesn't have dozens of ventilators on standby, they probably plan on running at 60-80% of their ventilator capacity.

    I am just going by the article, so don't know.

    They say CPAP machines might work for some people.

    Meanwhile in Mexico .............
    Mexico holds big music festival despite coronavirus concerns

    Any US citizen who went to this should be made to stay down there in quarantine for at 30 days.
