It wouldn’t surprise me if some states shut grocery stores down.
I know that’s insane but some people are having that conversation. A reporter ask Trump about shutting down the grocery stores.
Shutting down grocery stores would probably start the party. I cannot see how that doesn’t turn into riots.
Because of all those reported outbreaks that have happened at grocery stores, amirite?
We know where outbreaks and transmissions happen...in close contact where people talk to, work with or live with an infected person and in big crowds like concerts and churches where people are sitting or standing close by lots of people.
While transmission is possible elsewhere theoretically, it isn’t being documented and it definitely would not happen in large or unmanageable numbers. Walking past an infected person is very unlikely to offer an opportunity to transmit the disease.
The point of these shutdowns was, I thought, to not overwhelm the health care system. That means you shut down things where a large outbreak could happen. Not things where only very minimal transmission could potentially happen.
This is very much like the 1980s AIDS scare now where people were thinking you could catch it from anywhere. The paranoia has to stop.
Those people are truly insane and don’t have a clue as to what they are asking. They fully don’t even understand what is happening as the soon to be here economic depression is quickly picking up steam.
Just don't say here on FR that people should stock up on needed food, supplies, and medicine (and only say that).
You may get attacked for "encouraging hysteria!"
Ask me how I know?
Yeah, sure, let’s just cut folks off from life preserving nutrition needed daily by all humans. If you wanted to start mass riots, panic, and mayhem, I could not think of a better way.
