Actually no, our governor Abbott refuses to do that because Texas is 'too diverse' or something.

You can kinda understand where he's coming from because there are a lot of tiny, isolated counties that you can imagine would be disproportionately affected but naahhh

Parks Canada basically just shut down all national parks nationwide, they originally had just closed buildings but people kept congregating in outdoor spaces so all vehicular access to any park or historic site space is now banned.

NYC handling things extremely well if this is going on widespread. Horizontal spread of educational info.
NYC and NYS public health agencies have divisions dedicated to producing stuff in every language and for everyone, and even then we have the challenge of getting it out there.

I wanna see a variation of this video for every possible expression of New Yorker, so I can die in relative peace.

people from cities all over the world have gotten the bright idea of fleeing to small backcountry towns, usually without getting tested or anything, places where there is like one town doctor. i wonder, at times like this, how would dr joel fleishman handle the situation? wasnt there a plague episode or something like that? i dont remember but this seems like a good time to find out

In the USA, we're riddled with "National Forests" that are maintained by rangers, generally, but don't have the gates and stuff, generally. Oftentimes you can just pull over in a wide spot of the road and find a trail head. You often won't see any other humans all day.

Generally.

I live in one such town in north Georgia! There have been thousands of people escaping lockdown in Atlanta here for the past two weekends, going shopping and going out to eat. Our city council did shut down public spaces after realizing what was happening, but yeah, it took two weeks and some degree of damage is certainly done. Our hospital has no ICU, no ventilators and usually one or two doctors working at any time. If you need serious medical care, you have to go to Gainesville, which is over an hour away, and it's probably gonna look like Armageddon in a few weeks anyway. We are going to be profoundly hosed, and I'm super mad about it!

We already know what happens from Idaho.
Rich folks fled to Sun Valley, infect townies, in a county with 1 ICU bed.
Now the state is anticipating at least 9x more cases than the total beds in the statewide.

When rural Americans start fleeing to urban centers to seek care we'll be in the position to experience massive civil unrest in the US.

Imagine people rushing the border to get access to services they assume exist because of the better management in neighboring states.

We are about 2-3 weeks away from that being the national disaster scenario in the US.

If I see someone's dog take a poop on my yard and they refuse to pick it up after I stick my head out the window and tell them to, can I/should I bag the poop and throw it at them? This is relevant to my quarantine situation

So far Wisconsin parks are open. We have a state-wide shutdown starting today so I hope that doesn't change. The parks website still says they're open but no camping until April 30th. I might go hiking tomorrow if it finally gets warmer out.

In terms of number of deaths: probably around 10.
