We have to slow the spread so we can actually have enough resources to handle it. A million people getting it over the next 2 months is a lot easier to deal with than a million people getting it in a week. Not only that but the strain on hospitals could be enough to cause problems with other people needing care not being able to. It could get to a point to where they have to turn people away because they don’t have space/tools to care for everybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieMonstah Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Makes sense. I’m in New England and I know our administration has started to discuss the possibility of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a matter of time before they send us home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My offices are now WFH until further notice (I was transitioning to a 100% Remote role anyways, but this makes it official). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Distinct possibility that the FAA restricts air travel in the next 3-4 days. Travel returning you to home but not away for vacation/leisure. Not sure if other types of "essential need " travel would be permitted. Just some scuttle I have heard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of restricting travel between States (essentially quarantining heavily effected States) is also reportedly being considered. I live in Indiana but work in Michigan... Wonder if there would be exceptions allowing people to go to work if it did happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwAg Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm under 30, not immunocompromised, and mentally incapable of caring for anyone else, so the Boomer Doomer is of little concern to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
