The schools here are closed until 4/20! No gathering of more than 50. It looks as though we are going to be getting more isolated than we all had hoped. I’m still very happy to be here on my farm...so, my day to day won’t be much different. But, I am concerned for all the loss of lives. Chris just said Las Vegas shut down the casinos...to me...that’s a great thing!! Imagine all the germs there??? Ugh

It have affected me as yet. We have food and we can always eat less than we do now. We bought our normal amount of toilet paper. I guess the only way it's affected me is seeing the stupidity of people on display more. I've got a house hold of 10. Most family's house holds range to the max of 5. Why in this world are you buying tons of toilet paper? What are you going to do with it? Why are you buying all the hand sanitizer? I've bought a large bottle of it.....a while ago, (no clue when) and we still have half. It doesn't take you covering your entire hand with it. Just a small squirt and you're fine. Many are hoarding bread. Why? Unless you have a freezer full of bread it's going to go bad before the average size family uses it unless they are eating tons of French toast. The lack of common sense is even more apparent along with the lack of charity.

Found one person who was selling 100s of bottles of hand sanitizer and then tried selling them on eBay, Amazon or some place like that. That place banned them from selling anything because of the person's act. Now people are lambasting that place because, "At least now we have a place to buy it from whereas before we didn't." .
...... Hello!? Common sense? IF HE HADN'T OF BOUGHT ALL OF IT YOU'D HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BUY IT FROM THE STORE!!

Just saw today where the CDC (U.S health officials) we saying they recommended a 14 day time period where people didn't leave. That would be sometime when if go out and buy a gallon or 2 of milk more than I normally do. A bit more bread and maybe a pigs butt to cut for lunch meat. Not panic because the world as you know it isn't working the way your used to.

I think this unmasked America. Everyone loved in their eutopia thinking America was impervious to anything like this, not realizing America is made of human beings, just like anywhere else. The "I can go to the store whenever I want and get whatever I want and always have the choicest cut of it" mentality just doesn't work in life and it's about time we woke up and began making some hard changes.

I'm sure I sounds heartless, (been called worse) but I honestly feel VERY bad for those families who have both parents who NEED to work and now they have their children that aren't able to go to school or daycare. What are they going to do? Where are they going to take there children? I thank God that He hasn't placed me on that situation because I wouldn't be as strong as those parents and I pray for them.

I know there is going to be an economic hit to everything along with lay offs and the unemployment rate will raise.

Hopefully this may reach people that they can't simply live like their not ever going to be a problem.

Once this is all ended people will be very reserved on buying things for a while, almost afraid of it happening again.

Democrats will blame Trump, Republicans will praise Trump and in the end I will still have this darn lean to that needs to be built that's on my to do list.

I agree..my son Ben saw a man at the gas station buy 16 huge bottles of hand sanitizer...maybe going to try to sell them? It’s all crazy... I thought everyone would blame Trump for letting it get into our country at all...you don’t think so?

 

[mystang89]

I don't know if they will go so far as to say it's his fault for letting it into our country at all simply because I personally can't see how it's possible to stop a disease from moving anymore than I can see it possible to stop the rain from falling. Seems a weak argument. I think a stronger argument for them would be that the disease got as widespread as it is. I don't know enough about disease control to make a sound judgement either way though.

This morning reports say 45 tested & confirmed cases in VA. One man died a few days ago, also confirmed from testing, about 100 miles from me. He had respitory failure and ALSO had had lung issues for a long time prior to infection.

Hopefully the shutdowns will allow time for things to settle.

I've seen groups here helping to be sure those who need food and supplies are getting them by delivery and drive thru pick-up -- elders, kids who need the free school lunches, etc. My area has their panic buyers but, also much organized assistance.
