    Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.

    Patient 31 in South Korea makes the case for everything everywhere to shutdown.

    1 person, the source of over 1000 contacts leading to more than 5000 infections - and that data is a week old.

      I said it before, you really find out a lot about people and companies by how they act in situations like this.

      If something like this doesn't make them think of others or their own well beings, nothing ever will

      Hearing some justifications for why some businesses are open is laughable. I heard a place stay open because "we need to think about the firefighters, doctors and others.". Nothing wrong with that. Except it makes no sense because they're not an essential service, and 0% of their business deals with people who are firefighters, health officials, or anyone who is part of the essential workforce. They're trying to use real concerns as fake reasons for them to stay open and squeeze every dollar possible out of people and avoid paying employees for staying home.


      The second the government gave a warning about fining places that were told to close for staying open, they closed down. So much for their grand plan of sneakily staying open and putting their own employees at risk, all to make a few hundred dollars extra a day.

        Maryland has shut down all non-essential business but will not do a settle in place order.

        Seems kinda pointless. Just shut the place down

          My gym is still open. And judging from the parking lot, still fairly busy - though nowhere near as busy as before all this.

          Seems crazy that with everything else shut down, a gym is still open.

          I think I'll stick to dog-walking to get my exercise for the time being.

            Just as I expected... we just got an email for the head of HR and it says that we are considered a "Critical Infrastructure Business" and are exempt from the order.

            I mean, pretty much everyone has their own office and no one works within 6 feet of each other. However, we still have a bunch of people opening the same doors, using the same bathroom(s), coffee pots, etc. It doesn't make much sense to me but as they say... c'est la vie.

              Does your office have the infrastructure to work remotely?

              I can understand needing revenue services, AR, etc for "essential businesses," but having you guys come into the office defeats the purpose.

              At least you can still hoop on break, right?

                It's about control, not functionality. If you let people work from home during a pandemic and there's no drop in production/revenue, once it ends, what's your excuse for taking the option away?

                      Shut the state down?

                      Nah, they don’t need to do that

                        Not to freak you out, but that is one of the newer symptoms that they have discovered.

                        https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/23/healt...ntl/index.html

                        "Anosmia, in particular, has been seen in patients ultimately testing positive for the coronavirus with no other symptoms," reads to a statement on the academy's website.
                        Those symptoms "warrant serious consideration for self-isolation and testing of these individuals," continues the statement.

                          Keep ur distance from people by 6 feet and Wash regularly ur hands. Most don't do what health officials giving the advice what to do.

                            Wisconsin's Governor is signing an order tomorrow "Safer at Home" with a more details later attached.

                            He's shutting down all non essential businesses and using wording like, stay with the people you live with only, no sleepover, no inviting neighbors over for dinner, etc....

                                A day after Canada and Australia announce they're not going to the 2020 Olympics, the IOC says they won't happen in summer 2020. 2021 seems likely
