NYC Mayor makes announcements...

And so it begins...

Shutdown of cities and whatnot begins now.

Pretty huge announcements from Maryland about how they're gonna handle this...

Maryland closing all public schools.

Quote:Disneyland in CA closing as of Friday because of coronavirus. Only 4th time in history that operations have been fully suspended: 9/11, Northridge quake, nat'l day of mourning after JFK assassination

All of these "closures" and suspensions are worthless when they're
less than a 30 day period. I get that they're trying but somebody needs
to tell them that in this particular case, "a little is better than nothing"
ain't gonna work.

Two weeks shut down = two weeks wasted when you're
dealing with a four week problem.

It's a psychological tactic...

They want to give people hope, because it's shocking enough to hear of closures in the first place...

2 weeks always becomes a month, this has been the pattern from the start with the closures when they started in China...

A lot of those places over there still aren't back up and running...

They are just using these shorter timeframes to break the ice...

They'll extend it from there as long as they have to.

Yup... at the very least.

They are now declaring ALL US Coronavirus info as "classified".
I'm sure it's for our own good, of course. **sarcasm**

Yup, they classify their meetings on it because they know it's a bioweapon.

They can't publicly discuss that it's a bioweapon because America would freak out harder than America's ever freaked out in the history of America.

I mean there are SO many layers to this massive situation...

It has to be handled soooo carefully because China (accidentally?) released a bioweapon on the world...

How are people (countries, governments) gonna react??

It's a fucking huge mess dude.

Only 5 in Ohio have actually tested positive to this point.

Ohio has banned all mass gatherings of 100+ people.

Things moving very quickly here.
