Yep - I've been saying this for a while.
:iagree: What good is it to quarantine cities for a couple of weeks if diseases are running rampant in the homeless camps? After the quarantine, will the diseases know to stay in the camps?
I will never understand why people look to government for answers.

It is real easy at this point, even pleasurable, for those who are able to work from home and still get a paycheck. It will be interesting to see how many of these folks change their tune when they get cut off from a paycheck.

there are hundreds of thousands of people who have been fired/laid off, if you count the travel industry, probably millions....
and people are just respond, "oh, I'm sorry, but it needs to be done...."

There are still a lot of folks who think it won't affect them. they think everything is good because they are sitting at home on the computer while getting paid. Their turn will come. The millions who are already affected with no job are no longer able to spend money. This will trickle through and get everyone. What we need to think about is the damage to our economy is FAR worse than what the corona virus will do.

I was really surprised we didn't get a curfew going into this weekend. At least in the major cities.

"Clarifying remarks, California governor says virus called unlikely to prompt martial law"

I don't see martial law coming into play at all.

Zoom in closely on the image. That's about a battalion's worth of vehicles ON RAIL CARS, as on a train track (looks like two tanks per rail car, or something like that). There's even a passenger looking train to the right.

If the original person posting on social media is trying to pass this off as going down the street, then it's a good indicator they're practicing mis-information, or like causing drama. Perhaps even a foreign agent looking to sow discord. 👀

Kansas City metropolitan area has been shut down for 30 days.

Only essential trips out of your home.

Sounded like going to work wasn’t essential unless you worked at a grocery store.

30 days. Not 15 and we will see how things are.

BTW they have 15 cases, I checked.
