Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom of California announced a mandatory lockdown for all Californians Thursday evening due to the coronavirus. Newsom said that over the next eight weeks 56 percent of Californians could come down with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. However, it was clarified that Newsom's estimation didn't take into account the efforts to slow the spread of the disease. The order, which Newsom calls a "safer-at-home" order, is mandatory and will make the vast majority of the 40 million residents stay self-isolated in their homes. All non-essential businesses will also close; grocery stores, pharmacies and banks, among others, will stay open. Residents will be able to leave their homes for exercise and for essential needs. Some restaurants will also stay open, however, they will be delivery or take-out only. Before Newsom's order, a number of counties—including Los Angeles County—issued similar directives. "This is a moment we need to make tough decisions," Newsom said. "We need to recognize reality." The order comes into effect Thursday night at 11:59 p.m. local time. |

Yep, that is the balloon going up. https://www.cnn.com/?cid=web-alerts Stuff usually happens in either California or New York first. Experience in Italy and China shows that too many folks are asymptomatic carriers of the virus, and transmit it all over the place. We screwed up on testing, we should test EVERYONE in each of our countries and isolate anyone who tests positive, regardless of symptoms. That is the only way to break this thing's back....it worked with SARS in 2003. Can't play patty-cake with a lethal virus. Stock up if you haven't, lock & load, and get ready, boys and girls, this is what we've been planning for. AFTers know how to do it. SHTF time. Chuck says. |

The enforcement will be interesting to watch. Things may go well for a few days or so, but at some point people will extend the trips for essential items (doctor, food) and when does the authorities take some level of enforcement action and what does the enforcement look like. |

It's called a "pandemic." Authorities will do what they have to do. China beat the virus down at the point of a bayonet, we're trying to avoid that. This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. |

"This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around. " That's not what some of the talking heads were saying. Oh well, looks like we're going to experience life during wartime.... |
