Good.  Leave them a few bottles for insertion or better yet help them out and see that it’s done properly, lol.

Fox News may be taking this seriously NOW but they were not before. The difference in coverage last week between networks was obvious.

@Chucktshoes you may have seen this already but they have lifted hours of service rules for drivers.

Edit-only for goods related to the outbreak.

Good to know. Some of that will absolutely affect me. “Food for the emergency restocking of stores” is pretty much what I do. 
 

Edited to add: I say that, but I’ll be home Tuesday, it won’t matter to me until I head back out to work.

If we hadn’t been running on so many years of almost free money and loose monetary policy, it would have a much bigger effect.

Yeah, that means the Fed’s magazines are pretty well empty at this point.

New York City schools closed through April 20.  May not reopen this year.

You will see a spike in the numbers tomorrow as tens of thousands of test kits have gone out to community testing centers.

I don’t consume a lot of traditional media.

I can’t remember the last time a TV was on in my house tuned to anything of the sort.

 

But, your media is purposefully misleading you right now. For whatever the reason.

You need to take this seriously - if for no other reason than the country is going to get more liberal if you die.

I'm not a smart man, but...

I don’t trust the government to distribute the supplies effectively. Now these guys are assholes but the fact remains the stores and local governments could have implemented limits on those items, but they didn't. So when CV devolves society further will the government come rob everyone that prepared next for the greater good? I’m sorry, I thought this was America. Besides...If you bought hand sanitizer for 70$ you deserve to be gouged. This is wrong on so many levels: fear buying in desperation, cut-throat exploitation during a pandemic and government theft of private property.

[AuEagle]

Fear spreading. What a cluster.

Agreed on all points.

What exactly is that supposed to accomplish?  Are they only going to allow the healthiest 100 in at a time?

Not sure, with the state of emergency in place it gave new powers to protect public health.

Would have loved to take advantage and consider a home purchase...but my porfolio is down 20% in the last few weeks.

A lot of Broadway bar and restaurant owners have already said they are staying open. They said Cooper can ask but unless it is a statewide order they are staying open.
