You and Moriah must be young or ... living under a rock. The movie is great but a little scary in regards to today's pandemic. You have been warned.
Austin is "officially" on government lockdown starting at midnight tonight and running through April 13th.
No statewide lock down yet here in idaho, but the board of education did close the schools, which I think was a dumb idea. I do think there should be more emphasis in all states to get the elderly to stay home no matter what, others can bring them food and medicine if need be, and that is happening to some extent, but there should be a greater effort. Oh, Boise is partially locked down but they have a newbie mayor from outside of Idaho.
This is on the back of my mind, what Summer says here; this; Also, this movie was on the other week, I watched it for a few minutes; Bruce Willis was going about how air the fresh was; I was caught it on TV years ago, saw Bruce Willis in a bank getting killed in front of his child self.

That's all I've ever seen of it.
My daughter's boyfriend works for Amazon in Seattle and he's been working from home for a month and a half...
Depending on where you live in my state (Texas), you are , or you are not, on lockdown. The state issued the standard social distancing, restaurant guidance, etc. So the large cities, Dallas, Houston, are on lockdown. Lots of corridor cities and towns (Interstates 10, 20, 30, 35 45) are also following suit. So far, most all cases here are from folks who travelled, and the majority have self isolated. The risk to the state continues to be folks traveling through from other states although air travel is virtually non existent. Mostly, we have endless load being trucked on the interstates, and most folks are staying home or close to it. The schools are all closed indefinitely. Thankfully, restaurants are still allowed to deliver or do curbside so many of our local restaurants aren't closed. They're hours are pretty limited now, but at least you can get delivery if you really need it. It is surprising to see what constitutes "essential" businesses here. It is very quiet here. Nice really. The bluebells are blooming everywhere and spring is sprung as it were. Folks are getting out walking and taking advantage of it being nice for a while.
The grocery stores and big boxes all have overflowing parking lots. Few people are using masks. Restaurants are limited to take-out, and the city and county authorities are considering taking that away from them, too. It ain't right, it ain't just. Some shopping centers are closed, more are open. We have not been in any stores or businesses or even used take out. We started laying in food and supplies in early January and have four months worth on-hand. We drove through one city to go fishing, and took another drive around just to sightsee and ease the cabin fever.
In the movies, it's always a monkey; 12 Monkeys, 28 Days Later; in real life, it's always a bat; SARS, MERS, COVID19... Bats aren't that important to the ecosystem, are they? Like the Metallica song; Kill 'Em All.
fyi, even when using 'recirculate' your vehicle's HVAC system draws some outside air in... and when on 'heat' it draws 100% air from outside EDIT: buy a Geely, it has n95 cabin air filters https://www.autoindustriya.com/auto...ill-get-n95-cabin-air-filtration-systems.html
Yeah, that is a worry. Somebody might roll down the window and sneeze out and give you a big dose of the coronavirus right through your compartment filter. But you can never eliminate risk totally. If you could eliminate all risk I guess you would never have to die. It hit 90 here yesterday on the barn thermometer in the shade.
If it doesn't kill plant life like crops and air giving trees and stuff, sure; disinfectant chem trails.
I thought of you today, when the water main in my street burst and my tap was running mud with what little water pressure was there. Then I came to work 3 towns from where I live and there's a boil water notice. I was thinking, "Need to search for that guy on PF who can't figure out why people would buy bottled water." You just never know!
Absolutely true! But, considering the unpredictability of those things, why aren't people stockpiling water all the time? A water main can burst at any time. A boil water notice can be issued at any time. Given that, if other reason always exist for stockpiling water, it just doesn't make any sense at all that people wait for a pandemic before emptying the shelves...
Driving into work this morning(healthcare), the highway signs said "Essential Travel Only", but there was about the same amount of traffic as usual. Because Americans are an essential people I guess.
I normally do buy 4 cases at a time, but don't consider that "stockpiling"....since I usually use almost all of it before I buy 4 more. I've have decided that from here on, I do want to "stockpile" at least 2-3 cases and buy 4 at a time above the stockpile. I can't believe the hoarding hasn't stopped already. Sigh.
Here too. We just went "lockdown" Tuesday night at midnight, but my industry is on the "essential" list. The county had two full pages of single spaced "essential work". I thought it would have been quicker to list who does not get to go to work. Traffic is decreased maybe 25% since day 1 on Wednesday. Today there was more traffic than the last two days.
Did they have the products you needed? I got tired of standing in line waiting to get into a store with mostly empty shelves. Reminds me of Venezuela (obviously not that dire....but reminiscent).
