Chicago and some other municipalities have passed bans on the transfers, of any kind (read: sales) of any firearms or ammunition: think about that for a moment.
Otherwise, there seems to be plenty of food on the shelves, at least at the local, smaller stores. Of course no toilet paper anywhere apparently.
That should not be a huge problem, we will just take showers every week instead of every other week- this should also help keep people at least 6 ft. away from us..... a two- fer.
Schools here also closed and this seems to be becoming the norm. from elementary schools right through universities. RI has banned any event that will gather more than 250 people in any single place. Not sure how that will apply to things like movie theaters. ??
Things may get, oh let's say mischievous with all the kids at home, bored and looking for things to do. But if they lose their connection into the neural net (the Internet), things are going to get much worse, much faster. Can we even imagine 20, 30 million kids w/out the little boxes from which their entire life flows? Gonna' be worse than NYC was in Ghostbusters.
The result is probably going to be something like 1,000 Americans killed by this bad cold that is going around, 100,000 Americans killed due to over- reaction and general idiotic behavior.
