The good news is that the lack of sporting events won't be a problem since we have a country full of armchair quarterbacks.

True that.

That might be politics, grandstanding, rather than science. I think there are already so many virus clusters everywhere in the US, and the world, that the moment has passed where barriers would be helpful. Quarantine of suspected cases yes of course. And restrictions on air travel and other places where people are forced to breathe one another's air. But general barriers aren't going to help because Coronavirus rates are now likely similar throughout the nation.
I'm kind of mixed on my opinion on restricting travel. Since it seems that some states are ahead of others in terms of infestation, it may help, but it is going to take everyone taking personal responsibility in exposure and hygiene to whip this thing with lowest numbers ultimately getting infected.

I regularly travel on airplanes, about 150K+ miles per year. I know at this point in time, I have no desire to fly in a tin can in close proximity to who knows what. I feel for the travel/vacation industries at the moment!

I truly just heard this on the radio. "To offset the shortage of Toilet Paper Wal-Mart says it has an ample supply of Pittsburgh Steelers T-shirts".

I've seen a few quantity purchase limits in place recently.

If the stores can't manage it themselves they need a law to fall back on as soon as the panic buying starts.

I struggle with restrictions. Not that I'm against them. Just that the people that need to be restricted, not intelligent enough to restrict themselves, won't adhere to them......

+1 just like they cannot seem to figure out if they are positive, ti self quarantine... Duh.

In Plymouth, Michigan at Costco they did exactly that, put a limit on TP. One 12 roll pack per customer.

No doubt some places seem ahead of others but the spread seems to be relentless. This morning a friend was talking on the phone with a friend in Ecuador. That's a real backwater, a beautiful country but without substantial numbers of tourists or international business. The friend in Ecuador said chaos has descended there. Stores empty of essentials and a general sense of panic in the population. They have sufficient medical personnel and resources for good care in normal times, but will be devastated if the medical professionals are the first to fall from Coronavirus. There are three Coronavirus deaths so far. Its advancing worldwide.

I doubt any US state is more isolated from sources of Coronavirus, in comparison to this.

I saw that on toilet paper in two stores yesterday... one purchase per person per day. Seriously, how much does one family really need? I actually did need it; I normally buy 12 packs and was almost out. Instead though I bought the smallest package they had because I didn't want to look like I was jumping on the band wagon. Now I have enough to last until the leaves come out on the trees. ;)

Leaves work fine, just be apprised of which leaves...

I can never remember; isn't the saying "Leaves of three, it's a tree"?
