Not at all. If you look at one of my earlier posts, I say lock down the country.

Was just trying to keep everyone informed. Was bored at work lol

I got up at 5:00am to take my wife shopping at Stop & Shop this morning. Unfortunately I'm now in the high risk group ( over 60 , copd and diabetes). Thankfully they gave us older people a head start food shopping being that we're the most vulnerable to the virus. How depressing it was......especially with no hotties to look at. Lol

My mom stopped in her local Acme for “early elderly hours” as well. She was a bit shocked and dismayed that all the TP was gone. Clerk told her it was fully restock this morning. These old biddies were down right Looting the place. they set a crazy high limit for the elderly on the TP-limit 4 packs...16 rolls for many who live alone or with 1 other person? Come on grandma!!!

No shortage of Meat, Chicken, Fish at Uncle Guiseppe’s in Yorktown Heights. However, I can’t find baby formula anywhere. My wife picked a bad time to go dry breastfeeding. Even online it’s sold out. Was forced to buy packages of smaller ounces and overpay to get more

Just got this from BIL with a friend at FEMA:

"Please listen...Homeland Security is preparing to mobilize the National Guard. They are gonna dispatch them across the US along with the military. They will also call in the 1st responders. They are preparing to announce a nationwide 2 week quarantine for all citizens. All businesses closed. Everyone at home. They will announce this as soon as they have troops in place to prevent looters and rioters...they will announce before the end of the weekend, within 48 to 72 hours the President will evoke what is called the "Stafford Act". The President will order a 2 week mandatory quarantine for the nation. Stock up on whatever you need and make sure you have a 2 week supply of everything." 

Only time will tell how true this is, but if it IS true, I wanted to share with all of you. 

@moog what is the stafford act?

Federal Emergency Relief Statute.  Don’t know much about it but I doubt it authorizes a 2 week lockdown.

You know more than me lol. Sure hope your right. Hope @cbyzerman is right too. If we are not locked down by next week, when I see BIL, I'm gonna step on his tongue.

Just Google it, a quick search gives you an explanation of what it is, and also all kinds of articles about those messages being fake news.

More proof why the mortality ratio is off. So many out there that most likely have it but never tested.

Its hitting close to home.  They closed us down at 4:00 pm today.  
A family member of a co worker tested positive yesterday and she came in to work this morning to alert management.  They arranged testing for her and we will know those results Thursday or Friday.  For the meantime, our three facilities, Clarence, Buffalo and Amherst closed at 4"00PM today and everyone is in quarantine.  I may go fishing tomorrow (alone).
Our Amherst facility is affected because I worked there in the morning, then worked Clarence for the afternoon.  I was in close proximity with the one that was sent for testing... I feel fine and so does everyone else.  I hope this is just a scare, but you cant assume anything.

She couldn't have just called?

Millions of grumpy old men stuck in the house for two weeks with their wives ???

Do you realize how much that will increase the MURDER rate  ???....

Wiping your azz with bagels is the new thing   And Tide pod eating buzz is spectacular.  Heard from a friend

Went to gun shop today... NICS system was really slow this morning, then went down completely.  Apparently lots of panic buying.

Just wanted to let people know.  If you are an oxford resident and a child in school they have 2 meals per kid each day for pickup and its alot my teenager couldnt finish it. One is at the school another is in mcdonough.   This food doesnt depend on income if you have a kid in the system(actually my 3 yr old is also) they have 2 full meals for pickup. If anyone knows someone or is apart of the school and needs help picking up food me and my wife will be trying to help get the food to the kids.   Im sure alot of schools are doing the same just trying to get the word out for people.  

Biz one of my friends wife is a manager at a big chain store and they have formula hidden behind the service desk because people were stealing it.  So that might be the situation as well.
