I understand this. I was talking about a small nature park that hardly has any visitors as it is. They get maybe a dozen people in a day.

National Parks will be next. I guess we all need to stay locked inside with our stockpiles of toilet paper.

No, I wasn't wondering that. But those trucks are driven by people.

Yes, this was the concern I saw being voiced in comments.

Certainly a dicey situation if the truck drivers get sick.

damn man. Sorry to hear.

My wife works at a Dollar General supply center. They pack and ship everything that goes to the stores.

She got a text yesterday stating they were working 11 hours a day, 7 days a week until further notice (and likely at least the next month.)

I know they will be shipping out what they have as fast as possible...

Yeah and most of those truck drivers have limited contact with other people.

I live in a dogshit neighborhood that averaged a fatal shooting a month for the last two years. Last may the tornado hit and around 60-70% of the houses where I live were ruined. The people left were not great people.

I was worried the worst was inevitable. The next day we couldn't leave and the streets were blocked off. People walked around, shook hands, and I met neighbors that lived 5 houses down I hadn't met in 7 years. People shared water, smokes, snacks.

These weren't good people. Drug addicts, drunks, lifetime welfare parents that screamed at and then violently beat their kids. Life was forced to slow down though and given the option to hard reset I was shocked how everyone did. When given a chance to un-**** themselves they did and were human again. People were polite and charitable. I was amazed and I'll never forget it.

Now, a serious virus is much different than a tornado but we are all capable of being much more than we are right now. Everyone is worried but these types of events can also bring out the best in people...
I 100% agree....hate saying that but this weekend was proof enough that enough morons in this country won't take this seriously until they're forced to.

This is not even about the virus any longer- it is about taking over this country.

Zero cases in the entire county- yet the city is going on full lockdown. You can't even go to a nature park now- ridiculous. Store shelves are empty and small businesses will be hurting including my own.
That sucks man.

I'm lucky that even if there is some sort of forced closure for my office that we can still get people in remotely. Maybe not be at full force, but still able to help our customers.

As someone pointed out previously, truck drivers travel a lot, but there is no need for human contact other than when they transfer paperwork.

same thing with the reserve ventilators. We have 12K in reserve but we don’t have people sitting on their ass at home we can call in to run them. All the qualified people are already busy in the hospitals.

Here's what I'm wondering, assuming this stuff coming out that suggests asymptomatic people are actually the most contagious is true - what if we all just wore masks all the time in public until this is over? Doesn’t have to be N95, just the cheapy surgical ones. Govt could set up stations and hand them out.

Obviously it’s not going to stop everything from getting out - but if it catches the droplets that could make a big difference.
