    Who exactly are we kicking that's already down? Politicians? Please.

    Every one I know or hear about has stocked their homes for the armageddon and they're sitting around watching Netflix because there's no school or work. In other words, America is on vacation.

    All Truckers should sacrifice and work for as little as possible. Just enough to get by. Oh wait a minute, we already are.

    Schools are closed, there’s talk of providing day care centers. I don’t think they’ve thought that one all the way through. Also trying to figure out how to feed the kids. Since they only eat at school. WTF? I’m all for feeding hungry kids. Too bad their own parents aren’t.

    THEY never think it through.... are you reading kids can go to a day care setup, BUT can't go to school?? Is that logical?

    I just ran a few errands and the way it looks now, I don’t think you’ll miss rush hour. Wal-Mart and the local grocery store is packed.

    I’ll make sure to pour out all my pee bottles on a tree far from the lot.

    Just doing my part to halt the spread.
