"How people are reacting"is already pretty poor.New Mexico here. Northern part of state. Supposedly "unconfirmed" cases nearby. And supposedly a "confirmed" case just over the state border(about an hour away).
We have been placed under a no more than a 100 ppl gathering rule, only exception being churches. Thus places like SAMS are doing head counts. There are lines to even go in, once inside, lines to get your allotment of water, paper products, etc. ((IF they have it.))
As of Monday, schools here are closed for at least 3 weeks. And our local college hasn't yet made a determination as to what they are going to do yet. ((Our college also contains a high school for advanced kids.)) Kids are on spring break here come Monday, so I am assuming the college will make a decision once it is time to go back. Lots of push for computer/online courses, as we are an area where the kids are issued a computer in 1st grade and keep it until graduation. The college also insists all students have a computer. All sports are canceled. All academic meets are canceled. All theater shows canceled.
I "saw" this crap coming and did my shopping a couple of weeks ago, although I didn't do anything like buy enough for a year or anything. I am glad I did, as I wouldn't even currently step in any stores locally. The people in the house have enough supplies for awhile. As do the pets. This is one of those times when I am glad that I have two fridges, two freezers, and a pantry. Also glad that I grow a lot of Pistachio's food.
And whether folks like it or not. I checked the cabinets/fridges, but I also checked the ammo situation.
I am not afraid of the virus, and maybe that is dumb? I am more afraid of how people are reacting.

I am a member of 111% here in Oregon...I so believe in owning and open carry guns...But with the run on guns I don't understand...I've been asking...What'cha gonna do Oregon...shoot sick people?"How people are reacting"is already pretty poor.
Most Americans are armed. And a lot of us are NUTS!
It doesn't make sense either because there is literally thousands of fans that were going to the race camping out and tailgating outside the track to listen to the race. Might as well just let them in lolSo no Pac 12, no school, no NBA, no baseball, in Oregon gatherings of 250 people is illegal, no t-paper, empty store shelves, cheaper gas. But...my prayers have been answered because NASCAR announced that the next 2 NASCAR races, Atlanta, and Homestead will run...without spectators...good for me...not for the 100,000 fans who will miss the race in person, and NASCAR will lose so much income it boggles my mind...Hurrah for NASCAR and all it's loyal fans...
Open carry always made more sense to me. Florida is concealed carry only.I am a member of 111% here in Oregon...I so believe in owning and open carry guns...But with the run on guns I don't understand...I've been asking...What'cha gonna do Oregon...shoot sick people?
Thanks for that report.I'm in the small town of Colonial Beach Va, Everything is normal here. the only grocery store in town is a Food Lion and shelves were full of all products except no powdered milk and only 3 bottles of coke zero in the big bottles yesterday. Today I went to the great valu store a couple miles outside of town to get ground beef for $1.99 a pound and their shelves were full, they had powdered milk and coke zero. Filled the truck up with gas yesterday for $1.96 a gallon. Everyone I've talked to about the virus here is expecting it to show up but not panicking about it. Also almost all my friends here are over 65 years old and been through times like this before. Everybody Stay Safe.
We are sorta off the grid. People want to come here to be here. You don't pass through here while heading to go some place else unless you are totally lost.Thanks for that report.
Nice to know that the entire U.S. east coast hasn't gone nuts.
Oregon has the same 250 people...I know I'm just a dumb broad...and even tho I am deficient in math...isn't 250 people enough to start and infection...all it takes is one right??? ...Just sayinGovernor of California has ruled that groups larger than 250 people can't meet. That means the school where my daughter works has to serve half the kids their lunch outside and the other half in the cafeteria, as they serve more than 250 kids at a time.
This doesn't make sense to me. What do they do with the kids in the cafeteria when they're finished with their lunch?
Will told me that some of the reptile shows where he had planned to be a vendor have cancelled their shows.
