SIX: So,you won't believe there's a real problem until a million people are tested or tens of thousands are dead?
Well, I'm glad YOU'RE not in charge!
When faced with a rapidly-moving situation, act first. Even in the face of imperfect information. You can always back off if you find it's not necessary, but you can't rewind the clock and get a do-over in this case.

I saw more masks than just us. I saw one at Ralph's, but five at Stater Bros.
Ralph's had a sign posted that they were going to let in only 50 at opening, and 25 per 10 minutes thereafter. It didn't seem to change the crowding; I think this was "business as usual" for them (except maybe the morning of Super Bowl Sunday) but boy, were the shelves bare!!!"
We've known for at least a week to #STAYTHEF*CKHOME
Lemmings gotta shop...

"As far as stores are concerned around me, I can only speak about two of them and report that it's pretty much just as bad as you hear on the news. Went to Aldi around 5 days back...
Yesterday I went back, first thing in the morning. Chili with beans was back in stock and full, but all the peanut butter was wiped out. The entire frozen food locker was empty (no beef, no vegetables). Milk was wiped out. No bread.
Went to the dollar store after that and although the store as a whole didn't look nearly as bad, toilet paper and towels were gone as well as any hand sanitizers. Surprisingly, the ingredients to make your own sanitizers were still in stock. I know that Amazon was sold out of all of that, so it looks like the DIYers haven't raided all the dollar stores yet."
Do you folks know what a virus is?
Only 2 days ago, probably after posting death and infected numbers online:
KIKI:
"I was running errands today, and everybody seems to be doing their best to comply with best practices, but they're all doing something different!
At AAA where I went to re-up my car registration, they were asking people at the door if they were healthy before they let you in. And the stanchions were set WAY back from the counter, but there was no 'social distancing' for people in line. But then there were hardly any lines.
Then I went shopping at Whole Foods. It's kind of a long drive, so I go maybe every 6 to 8 weeks and stock up on things I can't get anywhere else. There was someone standing at the door asking if you were healthy but people were wandering in anyway. Despite that, it was relatively empty. And BOY! were there a lot of empty shelves!
Then I went to Trader Joe's. They had someone spritzing everybody's hands with sanitizer, and another person wiping the cart handles with sanitizing wipes before you went in. And they made sure of it! No spritz, no cart-handle wipe, no entry!! OTOH the spritz was really volatile and the handle wipe one perfunctory swipe. So while I appreciate their intentions and diligence, I'm not sure it does much good. Anyway, the store was empty as well, along with a crap-ton of empty shelves. But no social distancing in lines, and none between the cashier and patron."
Damn! Peoples was everywhere! But they looked okay to me, and since infected people have a red light over their heads I knew I was okay... derrrrrrrrrr....

CDC UPDATE:
Yes. Just as I suspected, the numbers from another site would be different than what the CDC is reporting.
Looks like the CDC updates the page every weekday around NOONish...
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.ht
ml
3/19/2020:
Confirmed Cases: 10,442
Deaths: 150
Mortality Rate: 1.44%
3/20/2020:
Confirmed Cases: 15,219
Deaths: 201
Mortality Rate: 1.32%
Yup. The number is going down. Just like I said it would. And even more than the numbers posted on the worldwide site was saying.
Expect that Mortality Rate to fall faster than the DOW Jones once the tests really ramp up.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I'm a bit confused about this post. I never told anybody to #Staythefuckhome

ules-as-newsom-orders-all-californians-to-stay-at-home
What stays open:
Pharmacies
Food: Grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, takeout and delivery restaurants
Banks
Gas stations
Laundromats/laundry services
Essential state and local government functions including law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.
What is closed:
Bars and nightclubs
Entertainment venues
Gyms and fitness studios
Public events and gatherings
Convention Centers
Dine-in restaurants
Under the city’s new order, officials said residents are permitted to:
Go to the grocery store;
Go to the pharmacy to pick up medications and other healthcare necessities;
Go to medical appointments (check with your doctor or provider first);
Take a walk, ride your bike and be in nature for exercise — just keep at least six feet between you and others in the community;
Walk your pets and take them to the veterinarian if necessary;
Help someone to get necessary supplies.
Residents are not allowed to:
Go to work unless providing essential services as defined by the order;
Visit friends and family if there is no urgent need;
Maintain less than six feet of distance from others when you go out;
Travel to or from a job outside the city, unless to perform essential activities;
Travel to or from a vacation home outside the city;
Visit loved ones in a hospital, nursing home, skilled nursing facility or other residential care facility.
These are considered essential services:
City/county government services
Healthcare providers
Food and grocery service
Hardware stores and nurseries
Plumbers, electricians, exterminators, custodial/janitorial workers, handyman services, funeral home workers and morticians, moving services, HVAC installers, carpenters, landscapers, gardeners, property managers, private security personnel and others who provide services to maintain the safety, sanitation and essential operation of properties and other essential activities
Banks
Organizations and businesses that provide food, shelter, social services and other necessities of life for economically disadvantaged or otherwise needy individuals (including gang prevention and intervention and domestic violence agencies)
Laundromats/laundry service
Newspapers, magazines, television, radio, podcasts and other media services
Educational institutions, including public and private K-12 schools, colleges, and universities — for purposes of facilitating distance learning or performing essential functions provided that social distancing of six feet per person is maintained to the greatest extent possible
Please note: this isn't China. Barricades haven't been set up on the streets with armed guards enforcing these orders. Drones don't fly the skies taking pictures to feed into the 'social credit' AI system to identify malefactors. People who are suspected of being positive aren't dragged from their homes by force to be put into mass quarantine camps. No one will be arrested for going grocery shopping and buying candy instead. And so forth.

And why the FUCK are you talking about mortality rate? You can't even figure out how to do that simple calculation! You tried TWICE to make some kind of non-point, AND FAILED.
And worse, you can't be bothered to know.

GSTRING: #SHUTTHEFUCKUP
I only shop for groceries or go out for necessities (like, to the pharmacy or to mail some random bill payments) and I only do that once a week. I no longer do our usual weekly restaurant thing with dear daughter, which is a shame because it's to help her socialize, but also stopped her participation in a gym program - another shame, as it was also to help her learn how to socialize without mom or dad present. I'm not running out every day to pick up something I forgot the day before. I use a mask, which not only protects ME, it actually does a better job of protecting EVERYONE ELSE. I have given a few masks to pharmacy clerks.
When you've stayed at home for a whole week or two, then you can tell me about it. Otherwise #SHUTTHEFUCKUP

JackSHIT's answer, which he provided TWICE, is that there is no such thing as too many dead people. There's a problem of not enough of them to do the job.
