If this goes on for several months, Aug Trump said, there are a whole lot of people who will be bankrupt. I don't see things normalizing in this country if it goes on that long. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. China’s and So. Koreas curves are flattening already. Ill bet we see ours doing the same in 2-3 weeks.

Tightly spaces intimate spaces like bars & restaurants too There will be parts of the USA like a few rural counties in NV that probably have zero issues with this virus...........tiny populations, with little tourism stops and people that stick close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those same places have almost zero medical support or ICU rooms. You better stay healthy. Lander Wyo is far off the beaten path with little tourism this time of year and they have a nursing home with 7 cases now. Just takes one traveler in those little towns. Plus they have to go to town for groceries. weird times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupslam1 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It’s going to be crazy when a world wide pandemic thread doesn’t reach the same number of pages as a UNLV basketball coaching search or Boise State suing the MWC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysfit Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 We all know trump never admits error. I'm far less interested in that issue than I am with what he's going to do now. I loathe and despise the man but he seems to have grasped the seriousness of this CV pandemuc and has a very competent man running it, Fauci. I'm also pleasantly surprised by Mnuchin. First working with Pelosi and now getting the necessary stimulus package. 1 Quote One of the Final Five.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First working with Pelosi and now getting the necessary stimulus package. As I said early Mnuchin is laser focused and he seems to get that this big problem is going to require a colossal solution. I don't think anything will be the same after this but I can't predict how it ends. 1 Quote thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same on surface streets here this afternoon. But yesterday there was a good amount of traffic on the 15. The most surreal scene is in stores. Making a habit of picking up a couple gallons of water whenever passing by the store, but today it wasn't just the household essentials that were missing. The produce section was 80% bare and the fish and meat counter was empty and closed. When I asked the manager when they would be restocked, here answer was . No worries tho - we have more small farms than any other county in the country. IMO it may be a few weeks before supply chains have worked through the disruption, but we'll get there.

The supply chain for essential goods is strong. Once people stop panic buying we will see most things return to their normal level of stock.

Hutterite colonies, similar to the amish, and farmers, brought trucks down to Billings to sell loads of eggs, beef, chicken, and veggies. crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
