President Trump was asked about a lockdown today, IIRC. We are less than two weeks behind the stage of the disease Italy is in, according to many. And finally, portions of discussions this administration make take, in combating the spread of the Corona virus in the US, have been classified.

Which leads me to believe that some of what the author describes above could be imminent. This isn't fear mongering - it's a logical conclusion.

If a lockdown of the entire country for a month (WAG), was announced tomorrow, beginning this Monday, would you be prepared?

Heck, while we are at it, why not suspend congress and adjourn it till after the next election.

He can do that you know.

This has gone way beyond the realm of reality.

In unofficial terms, this is sh#t getting real.

Things are going to get worse – possibly much worse –

Yes.

There will definitely be more than 40 people die.

And perhaps the vast majority won’t be ancient invalids in the same nursing home community.

The plan is to extend the time frame over which people are getting infected — in order to avoid overwhelming the ERs and ICUs.

That doesn’t require tanking the entire economy — which what you are proposing would accomplish.

I’m not sure I like this. It is using whole numbers of people and not percent of the population. You need the percentage to understand how far the virus has to go. It will reach a certain percent before it tails off.

If you do what Japan is doing, which is all it can. You end up with a population that can’t inoculate itself. So, while its slope is low, it will keep going until it reaches a similar percent of the population. Germany and Italy will get a large percentage very fast. And while that may overwhelm the health system, it will also inoculate the population. Japan is saving the health system, not the population. There will be some beneficial affects of the Japanese way. Obviously the slower the rate of cases, means you will likely have the ventilators to treat more truly sick people. But it also means the economic price will be catastrophic. Japan will need to clamp down longer than Germany will. So, Japan’s economy will be stopped longer, causing a larger economic depression.

The biggest question people are asking now is, “When?”

Indeed. When will I stop hearing about it. When will I stop witnessing the hysteria.

Yes, much more prepared for that than no effort to contain it.

Was just at the 24 hour Walmart, stopped after work, which I occasionally do. I needed a refill of nicotine gum and some bread. At 1:00 in the morning I seldom see more than a couple of people. Tonight, I had to wait in line behind people with carts full of multiple bottles of bleach, soda, water, big bags of beans and rice, one guy had about 10 bundles of tortillas. The kind that stack high. A few elderly people who stopped and stayed back when someone was heading past them about 10 or 15 feet away. The store was hopping. Had a conversation with someone in the middle of an aisle lol.

Lock downs (quarantine) are certain.

It’s the only thing that has been proven to work.

When it becomes clear that the virus is not that virulent and people are recovering from it, the lockdowns will cease.

I’m predicting more in the range of 2 to 4 weeks.

Warmer weather also will dictate this time line.

I put what is being published in the media and what people are saying in public into two categories.

1. The agenda of the article or the commentary is to harm Trump.

2. The information is accurate and the agenda it to safe guard the public.

“Workplaces are taking more thorough sanitation measures”

I wish I could say where I work but let’s just say they’ve been around quite awhile and from what I can see they aren’t taking any different measures. I just heard yesterday that corporate is also buckling down on attendance issues. Granted this agenda was most likely put in place before the start of the pandemic but I can only guess. They use to keep sanitizer wipes in the office then got too cheap and this past fall stopped ordering and having them available. I haven’t received one memo or seen one notice not even “Be diligent about washing hands.” Other ladies are barely running their hands under the water after using the bathroom.

Excellent article—they are going to do it anyway.

That is why sooner is better.

I will say after today’s local announcement in the State of Ohio that schools will be closed starting this upcoming Monday...I’d say we should strongly consider individual states locking areas down starting Monday.

The governor’s announcement caused huge panic buying at the local grocery stores and many people as of last night complaining ...food...was running short in their local areas.

Part of me wanted to reply to them...you were told almost a month ago by the President to prepare, you laughed. You joked. You claimed it is ‘just the flu.’ But then people laughed at Noah when he was building the ARK too. And they all perished in the flood.

My only prayer right now is for God’s protection of President Trump and VP Pence. Please Lord, protect them from harm and protect our Nation from the Pelosi Presidency.

If massive lockdowns are occurring on about day 22-23 in other countries, that means we may have 7-8 days before we see major lockdowns and quarantines here. That would put us at March 19th or 20th.
