I know we all have different perspectives on CNN and MSM. That aside, there's a lesson here...We're someday going to be on the other side of the slope peak. The policies put into place then will determine how well we do or don't control additional outbreaks. I think we're going to see policies in place for the entire calendar year. We're going to need to have enough test, tracing and isolating capability in place to address everyone - even the asymmetricals. 
I dont mean that to sound dire, but I do think it will be our reality - and the worlds reality
=====================
Hong Kong (CNN) Only a week ago, Hong Kong seemed like a model for how to contain the novel coronavirus, with a relatively small number of cases despite months of being on the front lines of the outbreak.
That was in large part thanks to action taken early on, while cases were spreading across mainland China, to implement measures that are now familiar throughout the world: virus mapping, social distancing, intensive hand-washing, and wearing masks and other protective clothing.
Hong Kong was proof that these measures worked, with the city of 7.5 million only reporting some 150 cases at the start of March, even as the number of infections spiked in other East Asian territories like South Korea and Japan, and spread rapidly across Europe and North America.
Now, however, Hong Kong is providing a very different object lesson -- what happens when you let your guard down too soon. The number of confirmed cases has almost doubled in the past week, with many imported from overseas, as Hong Kong residents who had left -- either to work or study abroad, or to seek safety when the city seemed destined for a major outbreak earlier this year -- return, bringing the virus back with them.
On Monday, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced that all non-residents would be barred from the territory as of Wednesday, the latest addition to a raft of new measures.
This is a pattern playing out across parts of Asia -- mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan -- that were among the first to tackle the outbreak. All are now introducing new restrictions as a sudden wave of renewed cases begins to crest.
Compared to major cities in the West, like London or New York, residents in Hong Kong can sometimes feel as if they're living in the future. Many of the measures enacted in the Asian metropolis back in February are now being rolled out in European and American cities.
But this latest lesson may be a bitter pill to swallow, as it indicates that quarantines and social distancing must continue well beyond the initial wave of cases, if another round of infections is to be avoided.
For those just going into lockdown, that could mean they're in for the long haul.

Yeah, Trump is hinting he wants to possibly relax measures in the not too distant future. Big mistake.

I watched this last night...Informative and sobering:
In clinical trials and laboratories, the hunt is on to find vaccines and drugs to treat, prevent novel coronavirus
The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus has prompted medical researchers worldwide to go on the offense and look for vaccines and treatments. Bill Whitaker reports on some of the leading efforts.

Take a gander at eBay. Check out all the toilet paper auctions.
For example, a 12 roll pack of Charmin with 43 bids = $70.00.
These are the people who are lower than whale poop. Retailers, in time of emergency like what we're seeing, need to limit purchases from the start.
I am hearing from my MN customers that they are expecting MN to get locked down today after governors news conference at 2pm. So I guess that means the SD bars just inside our boarders will have a record week since our governor is to insecure to just shut shit down preemptively.... especially non essential shit like bars.

true, but if he was using the pool and fitness center after being tested (before he got the results) it is still a horribly selfish decision. I will say though, was he tested as a precaution, or was he feeling ill in some way? if they are testing congress regularly then I can understand him not breaking routine, but if he wasnt feeling the best and worked out anyway...
