    That’s just stupid, I guess the flu goes to bed after 9 pm??
    Because the virus is inside and when it gets to fresh air its ok??

    I don’t think the virus or those affected will be fishing.
    But what if they run outta food and the stores have been forced to close?
    No fish for you, go eat a rock.

    I have a relative who was part of planning and organizing a major tradeshow and they're now out big money because big daddy government shut it down. Not to mention the thousands each vendor attending is out by the time they dragged their stuff out for no reason.

    For the sake of Public Health I'm sure there's something legal that they can do to shut them down. There are a couple of things that go along with that.

    First this shows the government is afraid of this getting out of hand. It shows that it's a really serious situation. They are working overtime to contain this before our entire Healthcare System is overwhelmed.

    The second part of this is that they have found that 20 something people and maybe 30 something people are going out and doing everything they did before. They are going out to bars and nightclubs and hanging out and hooking up and whatever else it is people in their twenties and thirties do.

    So basically they will be the carriers of it and they will spread it through Society, not caring who else it affects because they're young and it's not going to bother them if they get a cough or feel sick.

    F'n selfish snowflakes! Too stupid to even know any better or care.

    So they close the places where they are going to mingle at 9 o'clock.

    Which is a good plan because most places don't start hopping until about 11 or so.

    I’m just sitting back and watching this craziness and over reacting that is going to bankrupt people and ruin lives and happy I’m not one of these people making all these blind decisions because they are going to be a laughing stock and a target of bad karma when this all passes.

    They’re trying to slow the spread, to buy time. Not a bad idea. Too many patients and not enough hospital facilities available is the real danger. For those that will need treatment. Well, I’m going out to find some coffee. Wish Me Luck. Gonna try Tim Hortons and Duncan Donut Drive thrus. Want no part of the crazies at the stores. Their all spreading it around now, fighting over anything that’s left. People are really panicked. I will too, if I can’t get my coffee!! Checking the boards today, don’t see any increase in loads, or rates. Doesn’t make sense.Stores should be restocking ASAP, You would think anyways. I don’t get it.

    I’m not getting crazy nor doing anything out of my normal routine. To me is really crazy and overreacting what people are doing, buying stuff like there is not tomorrow. What about the rest of people ? We are all in this. You don’t need to buy so much cleaning stuff !!!! You guys are the ones causing this crisis .... psychological crisis. Take it easy , relax . Don’t go out if you don’t need to . Remember you are not the only person that matters in this world !!! We got to share and help each other . Don’t be a #### A hole .
