Curfew needs to be nationwide.

Attempting to basically shut down the drunken party crowd. Also why spring break cancelled in Fla.

Honestly, I wouldn't be completely shocked to find out I've already had it. I traveled a TON in January and February, including internationally. I spent a ton of time in the air and in airports. I developed the nastiest most lingering chest cold I've ever had that lasted the majority of February into early March and I still have an annoying lingering dry cough. The wife developed the same thing. It never bothered our four year old daughter in the least. Having COVID-19 never crossed my mind as a possibility because the protocol at that time was that if you hadn't directly traveled to an area of high impact then it wasn't considered to be much of a possibility.

Pretty much. The overall traffic is a lot lighter at those hours but also likely a lot more irresponsible.

My wife and I were both sick beginning of feb. I missed multiple days of work and that has not happened in years. Flu test negative but boy I was down and out. Lasted like a week.

Where is this taken from? We experienced a lot of different phases, so this graph is as inaccurate as it gets

Mayor Michael Hancock on Monday issued an order closing all restaurants and bars to on-site seating, effective 8 a.m. Tuesday through May 11.

That's Denver, CO. That should send a pretty clear message to the "nothing burger" crowd that this is going to be over in a week or two.

For those interested in how the situation evolved here in Italy, wikipedia has a pretty accurate page

Gov. Jay Inslee released a statement tonight that further expands protections against COVID-19. 

“Given the explosion of COVID-19 in our state and globally, I will sign a statewide emergency proclamation tomorrow to temporarily shut down restaurants, bars and entertainment and recreational facilities.  

WA shutting it down. Petition now for an order to restrict/forgive/wtfever 2 months of rent/mortgage during shutdown also, but I don't see that flying.
