I just received a call from a reliable source inside a federal agency. They told me that they expect habeas corpus to be suspended and Marshall Law deployed in the near future. They could not go into detail, so something must be up. Wow folks, that is unheard of, just wow.

I heard the same, except my source gave me a date she said starting Monday. Get prepared folks!

Thanks man, sounds good

I wouldn't ride it out at home if other people living there. Doesn't sound like a safe environment. Just my opinion.

I was in McDonalds in Hampstead about 6:30, the area manager called and said to shut it down, drive thru only.

You do realize we are about to have a major shutdown in the US right?

Just because no one is freaking out doesn’t mean they don’t take it seriously. It has been proven throughout history the people that freak out are the absolute worst during a crisis or panic. Level headed people with a sense of humor can take it just as seriously and actual have more of a positive influence in situations like this. Feel free to freak out but it doesn’t do any good and people who don’t freak out aren’t the problem, quite the contrary.

Who's freaking out?

Im saying take this serious. I know the people who are freaking out are the people buying up all the grocery stores.

The world isn't ending. It's just "worse flu." Unless you are 55+ or are in poor health, you should not have grave concerns, just concerns. Be cautious, be reasonable and the walls will not evaporate around you.

My man people are dying from this, it doesn't matter if they are older people. What if one of those older people are someone in your family? Also infants are at high risk as well.

This isn't about protecting the elderly, it's about protecting everyone of all age groups. The virus spreads rapidly. This is just not another flu.

Lighten up, Francis.

Lighten up in this situation?

This seems like a joke to most people and I don't really get it.

Stuck at home teleworking not getting poo done. I know some people love it but I am the type who likes going into the office at 0600 everyday and get poo done. I work for the federal government and we are not allowed whatsoever to go into work. Yea this is just me bitching there are bigger and more important things going on and I understand why. I can imagine 60 days of this.
 

But damn I hope they get this vaccine out quick and administer it effectively and efficiently. I was having a good year too. I think that will be more the end of it than telling people to just stay inside and not spread it.

Luckily my liquor store down the mountain hasn’t closed yet so everything is still good around here.

You worrying about personal needs in this situation?

Nobody cares about you wanting to go to work at the office. And liquor damn sure isn't going to make things better.

We have to do better people.

I bet Trump has the Coronavirus. That stupid bastard keeps holding press conferences and shaking people's hands. He doesn't care that he's putting others at risk. Trump admitted today that he took the test and is awaiting the results. If it comes back positive, I highly doubt he will admit that he's infected.

lol I was thinking the same thing.

pretending whose life is better on the internet, is that what you call 'enjoying life and all it has to offer'?    

Not once did I say I had a better life. How about you quit reaching?

Have you seen the picture of his firepit area? I could live there.

Im sure it is nice. But I prefer to enjoy life and what it has to offer. Staying isolated all day is not what I call a productive life.

Just my opinion. Not saying im right or wrong.

Wife is stay at home and kids are online. Whatever argument you are having with yourself you can claim victory.

Sounds like you living in prison not going to lie. Im not one to tell another how to raise their family, but I would suggest maybe getting out a little bit more with your family after this situation passes over. Stay safe!

Half right. I started my own firm 10 years ago. Last year I sold off 75% of it allowing me to be off from May - December. 

But I do live with a wife, 2 kids, a dog and some cats. 

That's my point how are you safe at home when your kids have school and your wife has a job?

Nobody is going to sit at home everyday for 2 months. At some point you're going to want to go out and have family night.

One thing we have going for us is our population density is nothing like China and Europe. Most of us don’t take public transport, etc. It’s way easier for us to isolate. 

Nobody is staying in the house all day though. People will find a reason to go out and come in contact with public places.

I'm kinda confused...what is "Corona Virus" doing here under "Carolina Panthers Football"?

Shouldn't be under "The Lounge" or "Tinderbox"?

Because this is bigger than football. Life and Death situation>Football.

They escorted a kid out of my daughters High School today for having contact with someone with the virus.  I have a feeling schools will be shut down very soon

Schools are already getting shut down. It's only a matter of time for NC to shut down their schools.

Wow they already closing schools Nationwide. This about to get ugly for the grocery stores. People better start stocking up on food and water. This might be a while before everything is back to normal.

That whole "not eating for two months" is gonna be tough.

If you don't have enough can goods in your house to last you 2 months you are doing yourself a disservice.

My family has enough to last us at least 3 months. We got a closet with nothing but water. We get delivered huge jugs of water once every month actually.lol

Your only real choice is to bunker up for two months with zero human contact. 

That's literally impossible unless you live at home by yourself and can actually work from home. Wife/girlfriend/kids will still leave you exposed.

If there's a long term benefit to this whole ordeal, I really hope that it's a more widespread acceptance of working remotely. With the technology available today there are a LOT of jobs that can be done arguably even more efficiently remotely. I've worked remotely for the past 11 years. Fug going to an office for 40+ hours every week. 

The average working citizen doesn't have an office job. What about those major companies like Amazon/Wal Mart etc... those people actually have to go to work because it is a warehouse environment. This is how viruses like these spread. I was just talking to a guy who works for Amazon and he said it's already people testing positive for the virus who work in these warehouses. They are touching products we order online. People don't think about this stuff though.

I would stay away from ordering online as well.

Scary times. Be safe people. Im done traveling and eating at fast food restaurants for a while. Going to be a homebody for a few months until this gets under control.

Workplace is the most concern. If someone gets it at work it can easily spread. Just think about this when you're at work. Make sure to wash your hand every chance you get.
