    I was sort of like that, but in the last 24 hours or so the wife and I are trying to cut back on getting out and where we go. We both stopped this morning going to the gym for extra precaution and we will see wher things are in a couple weeks.

    This was just shared with me by my son. At his work last night (mfg facililty) an employee left a line feeling ill and while in the parking lot called 911 as he was dizzy.
    The paramedics and FD showed up and they were in all white safety suits.
    One of the paramedics told my son that the plant should shut down immediately and everyone inside should go self quarantine.
    The paramedic also conveyed the man wouldn't likely be tested just checked over and released, from hospital.
    The temp agency called my son's GM and said the guy forgot his blood pressure meds and didn't have a fever, and was released.

    The test for which he tested negative was IQ, not Corona.

    It was the joke I made at home; I figured it would be well received here.

    If his coworker is who I think it is they can substantiate my claim of being a mean asshole.

    I'm 31, but that hasn't stopped me from stocking up on tp and booze. If I'm going to be stuck at home, I need the essentials.

    They may do more than that in all this panic. It is not going to take much to incite people or for people to snap in the midst of this. The last thing our country needs is more guns.

    Also, they know there is a waiting period not including those lines wrapped around the building right?

    If things get bad, mass panic will sweep the nation. People will become animals. They will loot, assault, and kill. They think they can act without consequence. Look what happened during the Rodney King riots. Korean store owners got guns and used them against rioters because the police abandoned them.

    I absolutely support the use of lethal force to protect yourself in the worst case scenario.

    I do not trust the government or the police to protect the public. Look what happens when there is a protest. This will be much worse.

    It will be a situation of kill or be killed.
