Some businesses in an American coronavirus containment zone are planning to shut their locations for at least two weeks. That's a tough pill to swallow for many small businesses, which notoriously operate on razor-thin margins. But they may have no choice.

Normalcy bias is a psychological state of denial people enter in the event of a disaster, as a result of which they underestimate the possibility of the disaster actually happening, and its effects on their life and property. Their denial is based on the assumption that if the disaster has not occurred until now, it will never occur.

everyone I know

Let's hope the 17 people who live in that state are practicing self-isolation.

Right. My husband told me "everything is fine here". As he went to church last Sunday with about 250 people!

We do have over a million people here. Just saying.

American on coronavirus lockdown in Italy: 'It's surreal. It's dystopian.'

From the American on "lockdown" in Italy:

"Each of you, today, not the government, not the school district, not the mayor, each individual citizen has the chance, today to take actions that will deter the Italian situation from becoming your own country’s reality," she wrote. "The only way to limit contagion is for millions of people to change their behavior today."

First case/s in my state of New Mexico today. Three confirmed. Two traveled in Egypt, one in New York. They all live north of me and are self- quarantined. One final trip to Walmart and I'm on lock-down.

Omg do people still eat buffet style? Nothing nastier, imo.

There are still buffets? Worse.....there are still people eating from buffets??? Just can't imagine. Stay at home. If ya can't roast a chicken and potatoes, buy canned soup and chile.

I prepared for my family. I had less time than the government did and far less resources. Now I'm back to my original fears that no matter how much I prepped if we end up sick I or other family members will end up dead because the medical system is not prepared to handle this.

Remember, as it stands right now, most people don’t require medical intervention. If anyone feels ill, it is best to stay home. I don’t think self isolation means being alone 24/7, either. I’m in self quarantine but I do have friends that drop in, we maintain a reasonable distance between us & we refrain from sneezing and coughing at each other. What I am not doing is going in public other than one quick trip to the store during non peak hours, I used self checkout and had zero contact with anyone.
My friends that stop by are working cowboys so they have jobs with little person to person contact. I think you can visit with your friends and family if they are taking precautions. My friends that work in positions with heavy person on person contact stay away.

There are NO cases of Coronavirus in Montana.

The fact that no one has been tested yet, is irrelevant.

I'm not sure if you meant "no one" in the sense of overall low levels of testing but public health is actually reporting 21 negative tests.

I don’t have to be careful about it, if I walk into a restaurant and see or smell dirty wait staff, it is my dime, I can take my biz elsewhere.
It is not difficult to determine if one is clean or not.

Last time I went to Bojangles, the drive thru lady got me with her extra long pointed fingernails.
(Khloé Kardashian style)
If I smell something funky - I don’t stick around. But then I’m considered weird because I look at restaurant inspection scores posted on walls as well as elevator certificates.
