I think the discrepancy is due to the difference between confirmed cases and the unknown reality regarding the actual number that have the virus South Korea is leading the planet in testing their people WTF, we should be the leading nation doing this but instead SK is kicking our butt Trump should of been preparing weeks ago instead of simply reacting today Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

So your are happy to self isolate for a year to accomplish this? You are happy to destroy the worlds economies to do this? You are happy to see all the deaths caused by the economic hardship and stress this is going to create. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

I don't think we are going to self-isolate for a year and I think economies will take a hit, but slowing it down by pausing seems to me to be the prudent approach as opposed to just allowing the virus to spread uncontrolled with the risks involved in that. Testing has been to slow in getting up to speed while prohibiting entry from China was a good idea in spite of early opposition...so there is a mixed boat of actions and results so far. Once we get more testing results, we will have a better picture of how we need to proceed. |

One local company manufactured over 58.000 rounds overnight; all of them were spoken for by this morning. They are running 20 hours a day or so. I do still notice many businesses running around my small town because agriculture and the support of it waits on no one. People are being careful and keeping distances as much as possible. |

Folks staying home will be saying time to get that new whatever fixed or replaced. My wife wanted to pick up some .357 loads on the way home from a ride but the line was out the door so she has to make due with what she has in stock. |
