We are not hoarders! We are connoisseurs!
So Champaign Illinois city council just passed an ordinance giving the mayor the ability to seize personal belonging and property. The madness begins

Champaign City Council gives mayor power to impose curfew, seize private property
Water rationing and forced business closures were among a litany of emergency powers the city council granted Champaign’s mayor and city manager in response to the global health crisis.
Police officer here. So, we have to deal with the regular murders, thefts, robberies, domestics and child abuse cases, PLUS I have to set up additional surveillance on Olkofri and Brian64's houses. AND I have to come up with a way to use Covid-19 to my advantage to seize their guns. Because I have nothing else to do.
Gov't crackdown on producing and selling bottled water and toilet paper? I don't think so! But there's some parallel or other here.... The panic hoarding of the above is ignorant and pathetic....or so I dearly hope!
Not here. Domino’s has been pumping out pizza like crazy. All our loads have increased by 20% in weight.
Here in Europe most of the auto makers are closing the car factories, VAG, PSA, Renault/Nissan, FIAT and and others.
Our favorite bar has set up a fund for the staff and I made a donation. Life won't be the same if I can't return to having a Manhattan there with my wife on Friday nights.
What I do like about what's going on is that it is giving me an opportunity to think about how to support my community and what's important to me. Ok, back to my coffee...

Breaking news. The US and Canada have a deal to close the border to non-essential travel. We will hear the details shortly.
In Israel Total lockdown inevitable'
The goal is to "flatten the curve" and spread out cases over a longer period. Police would enforce required closures; Home Front Command would supply the public with essential products.

That's ok...I know you have nothing to do with policy...just following orders. Just don't try to take my toilet paper.
I'll leave a tin of Middleton's Cherry on the porch for you to help pass the time on your vigil.
Oh...and congratulations on still being employed. Many aren't so fortunate due to all of this batshit hysteria.
We have a few plants in Europe and so far the one in France is the only one closed, so far the plants in Germany are still open and the eastern European plants are still going. We have just heard that the Honda car plant in the US will shutdown for 2 weeks
Retired, so not a major impact...yet. Living in a trailer park I am hearing the arguments already. "What do you mean we're out? You went to the store yesterday, why didn't you buy some?"
My IT job finally shifted to full-remote just yesterday...however, I got sent home as I have a cold. I am quite grateful that all my symptoms strongly indicate a cold rather than the dreaded "C" word (not that c-word! lol) ...afraid I won't be able to properly enjoy a pipe for a couple more days, definitely feeling solidly on the mend...
Unfortunately, my very healthy gig schedule has been murdered...I play jazz/funk guitar music as a solo artist and with also often with a drummer, we have had some great momentum ...but, bigger fish to fry in the world at the moment, I hate seein people gettin' sick :/

If we had the tests I bet we would have over a million infected. I just saw a clip on the news of Clearwater beach and there were tons of people on it. These stupid fucking kids think this is some kind of joke. We need to enact martial law, bring in the National gaurd and the military. If we don't get a handle on this soon our economy will completely crash.
I am 62 and have seen some serious economic shit storms but this dwarfs aii the others combined. We are headed for a depression like the world has never seen before.

I’m working from home and getting cabin fever. I expect new business to stay slow but I have so much backlog/inventory I’m looking at this as an opportunity to finally get ahead of things for when the office reopens and things get back to “normal”.
