The 10th Amendment gives governors clear power to protect the health and safety of their residents, no matter the consequence to the economy, and some governors are already expressing skepticism that it would be possible to go back to normal by Easter. -- The Washington Post, 25 March 2020

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

“I’d love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter,” President Trump said. Easter is April 12, just over two and a half weeks away. The holiday would be a “beautiful time” to have “packed churches,” Trump later said. He also repeatedly downplayed the threat of the novel coronavirus by comparing it to seasonal flu.
The advice from doctors and public health experts on the topic of social distancing is by no means mixed: In an increasingly desperate chorus, they have prevailed upon the American public to stay home to slow the spread of the disease. On Tuesday, the the American Hospital Assn., American Medical Assn. and American Nurses Assn. issued a joint open letter — quite literally addressed to “the American public” — begging people to stay home to give “everyone on the front lines a fighting chance at having the equipment, time and resources necessary to take on this immense challenge.”

Mandatory stay-at-home order in California, beginning Tuesday morning, 24 March. First case in our county is a result of international travel, and Covid-19 has begun its spread. What activities had been allowed are now severely curtailed. Enforceable order.

COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?
by JWTom inmy area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.
the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.
many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

I was in my local supermarket this morning at 8am when they opened - and was shocked to be greeted by many empty shelves and slim pickings elsewhere. There was: NO milk, no eggs, no bread, no meat - and No toilet paper or other paper goods. [bold added] -- LHG
Identical to my store, from which I just returned. Interestingly, at 9:30 a.m., we were all senior citizens shopping about, amazed, bewildered, and bothered (well, at least me). I did find a loaf of sprouted grain bread in the frozen section. Two cans of sardines . . .

cc: how about making the second item per person double the price, triple--- waton
Yes, that might work for the average shopper with a limited budget; however, when I see the cashier ring up a tab of several hundred dollars on a basket (trolley) piled high with junk food, prepared packaged items, soft drinks, and liquor, I do wonder.
Myself, I quail when my total gets close to $50.00.

By the way, our first case of COVID-19 was reported yesterday. Many more are in the offing, to be sure, but undetected so far.
What a world, what a world . . .
