We are doing the social distance thing pretty serious now. Our chief Health officer has been on and she is very to the point and the information is getting out there and working.
In addition to that a lot of people are staying home...the playgrounds are closed and enforcement is coming into order soon because you know those teenagers...when they DO pull their pants up they are all playing 5 on 5 at the playground..so in about a week we will be on lockdown i figure.
people who cant work (looking after a kid or parent or someone sick or impacted by covid) can get 2k a month to pay the bills...mortgages are on hold...electric power at the cheap level (10.1 cents per kwh) and various other things are being done...like things are going to stall on hold.
That will buy time for the respirartors to be made (auto and steel makers have retooled and are making them).
Tailors and seamstresses making masks....distilleries making sanitizers.
Very much like wartime stuff...and its tricky for healthcare...all vacations suspended regardless of senority, when it was booked etc.
I said to my wife hey you have to think like....if it were war time i would be out punching bullets while you go help people at the hospital...shit changes when the shit hits the fan.
