A lockdown won't work in the US where many citizens are better armed than the police What does this mean? People are going to take up arms so they can go around and spread the virus? People will not cooperate and some may be willing to shoot others who try to stop them, especially if they think their freedom is being denied

People just need to relax. Yes, this is BAD, but the way some people are acting is making it much worse than it has to be.

Maybe we should all stay home and just have a summer vacation, except for essential facilities wherin they could wear hazmat suits or something?

I think that this may be the end of the world. I'm not freaking out or anything but I have a bad feeling about this.

I just meant an extended vacation, by which for school-age kids around some parts seem to be starting summer vacation now by these schools closing up shop, but as an adult I have missed summer vacation, and would like my job to close down so I can have one too, so to speak...but I'd rather go to work and have all this virus disappear, in a perfect world. Now I am working and having countless people from the cities come into my building....I am self quaratining my office

Just wait and see all the new taxes and fees and whatnot are going to come out of this. Look at 9/11. So much more money we have to pay for travel and whatnot. It's going to happen with this as well. I hope I'm wrong. But knowing how this world works? We're all screwed.

I am so sick of this damn thing. I understand if you have weak immune system or our older, but's getting so annoying. The amount of stupid hysteria with the toilet paper, it boggles my mind. The fact my girlfriend paid $17 for a roll. Unbelievable. People continue to freak out, when we shut down places. BUT IT'S TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. IT IS CONTAINMENT. If anything I am more concerned about a recession.

Those buying up whole stocks of stuff just to sell on at inflated prices are the scum of the earth. The economy has been damaged already and it's all because the media are constantly telling us how bad this virus is and making people go crazy.

Well, here in New Jersey, they are putting in a curfew that no one goes out from 8pm to 5am. They are also asking restaurants, nightclubs & bars to close by 8pm.
Fun times.

So I’ve been doing research for the last two days and man this thing is ugly. I believe the media has been covering up a lot of the numbers here in the US to stop public outrage or people from panicking. I first got a grip when all the customers bought up all the food where I work. There was literally nothing. Upper management warned us and said we better start stocking up on food for our family because things are going to get worse... I saw videos of all the people lying in bed in China. It’s interesting that the doctor treating the first patients died, and somehow a reporter who was covering the virus “mysteriously” vanished. Roads were also being closed off too. Now going back to the states... There aren’t many icu beds and the real issue is how fast this thing could spread. Healthcare workers might stop showing up due to being at risk. If I had known this sooner I would of been prepared. Yeah, it’s people like you who causes the people to act like they are. No, you’re not going to run out of fkg food, unless you and everybody else keeps spreading the Sht you are saying food will run out. Quit spreading the lies, nobody knows what’s going on, the media, Or wanna be scientist/specialist like you and grocery store workers. Y’all just need to chill tf out. This virus has been around for months, and yes, it’s probably gonna get worse, but telling people food is gonna be a shortage to run out and stock up is just bs.

To suggest that stupid people need convincing to act stupid is quite laughable.

Chili’s is not open 2 days of the year. So on New Year’s Day 2019, we got really bad snow to where the city shut down. All the chili’s in the 25-50 mile radius were closed but mine. “To much loss”. If one stores greed and fear of loss of money for 1 day exists. I cannot think of the US economy or world economy on a 2 week-4 month shut down.

I don't know how feasible it would be but if it were up to me I'd shut every unessential business for a couple of weeks and suspend everybody's bills during that period. Yeah you're not gonna get paid as you're off work but you won't have to pay for things like rent, mortgage, electricity, TV, etc to balance that. Just stay at home and only go out for essential food. Supermarkets will remain open but keep an eye on how many people are entering the building. Some things are more important than company profits or you wanting to go out and buy new clothes. Everybody just have a nice little stay at home vacation. Well, France are now doing something like this. All gas, electricity, rent bills suspended indefinitely. Good on them.
