The local normally packed Panda Express was a ghost town the other night. While the two adjacent establishments had a decent dinner crowd. That's cool, just means that sweet orange chicken is mine without any wait. Some people really are avoiding "chinese" food.

The Safeway near me is still stocked fine. They're hidden away on a neighborhood corner surrounded by strip mall garbage, so it's easy to ignore just driving by. They still had all the usual panic food when I went by yesterday.

The Walmart neighborhood market out on Academy though, that place looked like a disaster area, but still had plenty of crap this afternoon. Every pallet coming from the back was going to the pharmacy area though, and those shelves were pretty bare.

The King Soopers near me was nearly cleaned out. I grabbed a few things that were still left, because I usually don't go more than a few days without going to the store, but I feel like I was just contributing to the sense of panic.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Target, King Soopers and Sprouts near me were all picked clean of hand sanitizer and a couple other items. I assume it's because some idiots were buying them for resale just like the NYT rear end in a top hat.

When asked if he was surprised that Reynaud was able to fly into New Zealand while awaiting the test results, Bloomfield said that he was surprised Reynaud flew at all.
"I'm surprised, I'm pretty disappointed actually," he said.
It reiterated the importance of every person showing responsibility and playing their role, Bloomfield said.
"At best, this action has inconvenienced a number of people. At worst, it may well have put people at risk.
"I think you can draw your own conclusions that it wasn't really an appropriate thing to do."

Oh god, we had a dude at work last week loudly proclaiming he wouldn't be eating any Chinese food because they get their supplies from China and that's one way to get the virus.

I'm thankful some other dude spoke up rather loudly and told him "That's not how viruses transmit, dumbass"

FWIW, I flew through DFW (where at least one of the viral pics came from) for a domestic connection yesterday, and it was a goddamned ghost town in the A/C terminals. Only the international terminal was a petri dish.

I'm genuinely curious to see how empty my flights are next week. I did reach out to my Airbnb host in Moab. He said it's a deserted (heh) there at the moment, so It'll be actually kind of loving nice to have Canyonlands/Arches all to myself.

I'm surprised you think flights will still be an option next week. Why are you assuming the US reaction is going to be different than Italy/France/Spain or that our results are going to be any better? Italy let the impending quarantine of the north leak, allowing people to leave before implementation and exacerbating the spread. That could easily happen in the US.

Based on what I知 seeing I知 assuming our response will be worse than Italy. Therefore I fully expect people will be free to fly next week.

Honestly, I wish they would close airports so that way I can stay home and recoup my money. As it is, I either go and WFH after coming back, or I take a loss of about 1K.

I am assuming state/local governments again take the lead with patchwork isolation and people escaping them and driving the spread as in Italy until the federal government steps in.

I still am amazed part of the nation believes this is overblown and they should do whatever they want, but also that they must hoarde supplies because mass panic will ensue and they must be ready.

We have seen this kind of double talk so many times in history yet it always loving works as long as people are full of fear and hate instead of empathy. Geez.
