Hello! I have been reading these threads with great interest and haven't posted until now. For context I am a Canadian living in the northeast US, my H and I travel frequently for both work and pleasure and we fly or drive to Canada to visit family several times a year.

As it happens we haven't traveled since the pandemic build-up/announcement. I did have a trip to Nashville with friends and family planned for the end of this month, but decided to cancel it yesterday when the Canadian government asked Canaidans to avoid travel outside of the country.

I realize different people have different opinions on what each of us should be doing to flatten the curve (and I agree with the poster who said we should be tagging our posts with IMO/MOO/IMHO), but I am curious about why some posters feel that individuals should be doing far more than what current expert guidance suggests? (Experts such as the WHO, CDC, Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, etc,). Is it mistrust of the experts? Fear? Anxiety? It seems like some of the people who are decrying knee-jerk behaviour (hoarding, spreading misinformation) are also advocating for a more stringent response to the virus than the experts.

Not itching for an argument and wishing everyone good health and a quick recovery from this pandemic.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

It seems pretty cut & dry what everyone should be doing, imo.

Federal govt is probably going to have to make all of them do this eventually. FDR originally set up the public utility system this way, in case of national emergency. Kind of a no-brainer, but some resist.

Agreed....saw some comments in GA that although they have done it previously they reported to credit agencies. Hope that stops....

Global coronavirus death toll tops 5,000

https://nypost.com/2020/03/13/global-coronavirus-death-toll-tops-5000/


Out of 8 billion people in the world, it's not a bad number, if it were in the millions of people dying from COVID-19 then yes I'd start to really worry.

And I just got back from Publix. We have enough TP as the store is completely out of it, but they are very low on the following: paper towels, citrus fruits, frozen foods, white vinegar, bottled water. They're out of bleach, and hand sanitizer (which I never use anyways).

I am still trying to figure out why the TP crisis. That does not make any sense at all.

Moo moo mooo
In my immediate area it sold out pronto after a woman from Hong Kong arrived in hopes of fleeing the virus. She got to KY just before quarantine rules. A concerned member of the community alerted the local newspaper & they interviewed the woman. She mentioned it was impossible to buy TP in Hong Kong. So everyone went to WMT & then we got our first case, a WMT employee. Moo
