Expand Yeah. I don't think there's necessarily a *huge* difference from what the orders were before, other than now this gives authority to enforce it if people are blatantly violating. I'd be frustrated if I were him, too. You can still go out for necessities, exercise, that sort of thing. That's mostly all I've done myself the past couple or so weeks. I think they also still have some carry-out at various restaurants...order ahead and pick it up. I've done that a couple of times, too, just to at least still patronize some places to help keep them afloat. Like I said before...yes, this sucks and nobody likes it.

If the latter is true, please seek help. Expand I am not being facetious at all.. people need to get sick to fight this virus.. it is the only way. The virus will stop spreading when people build up the necessary immunities. And this happens in schools. Shutting down schools was probably the worst thing we could have done. This is informational warfare at its finest.. checkout china for instance.. they instituted social distancing at the end of January and then about 6 weeks later they reported no new cases. How can anyone with half a brain believe that this is true? Thats not how this works!!! If we are only trying to "flatten" the curve.. how is it that china how some how miraculously made the curve go away? they didnt. They either ran out of test or (more likely) stop testing or (most likely) stopped reporting new cases and deaths. They want you to believe that social distancing is the answer so that while world shuts down, they ramp up production of the vital products the rest of the world needs... they artificially are driving the stock market and world supply and demand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weigh that how you will. Expand There is two very problematic approaches when it comes to the numbers that we see.. #1 is that we do not have consistency in methodology. Anitbody testing is non existent in the US.. and this is what we really need in order to determine who has been exposed to the virus so that we know the actual mortality rates. #2 is that we need to be able to determine if Corona Virus is the cause of death vs Corona virus is present at the time of death.
