  1. I wonder what would have happened if the CDC/govt had said a month ago, national emergency,  no larger than 10 and shut down all restaurants, grocery stores, walmarts, costco's, etc.  I think it had to be slow rolled somewhat to get a handle on the supply chain for all kinds of stuff.  The panic buying would have been 100x if they went basically full lockdown right away and I think they knew it.
    They probably knew it was already here and had spread beyond a few communities.   the system could not handle everyone running to costco/walmart/etc all at once.  I'm sure there was a mix of people in full panic/half panic/no panic which is not necessarily a bad thing.  and yes that did allow the virus to spread more. how much no one really will ever know.
    probably need a better system to mobilize national guard/police/military to big retailers and grocery stores in each city, list of items that immediately go on limited quantities, and documenting what people bought.  95% of the population act accordingly when guys in uniform and guns show up.
    hoping the mortality rate trends way down as testing/cases go up.
    You are giving them too much credit

  2. Same with Chicago.  I think we were the second to announce after Hoboken.  NYC announced the same this evening.  I already support the shit out of local restaurants with DoorDash and plan to continue for those that stay open for delivery.  I know many of us are saving some dough by not going out so if you're in a position to do so, show some love to restaurants that are able to deliver.  
    Cool. My wife will love to hear that
  3. Escarpment HEB has a checkout line double wrapped around produce and into bakery. The other side of the store had similar. Damnit Karen, I just needed charcoal and some bananas for my kid. In line at sprouts right now and it's busy but not stupid like HEB. Noped out immediately.
