Apparently, one of the first pieces of advice from the Chineese doctors that came to Rome yesterday was that EVERYONE should wear a mask.

Well, I check the old man box.

End up? Dry land, thanks.
Was just a little banter, I know a VERY posh fellow who would never hoard. But he'll push over an old lady to provision Lol.

Not gonna happen in UK.

Like with audio, you need spirit and a willingness to learn. It helps if you put in some effort and know where you want to end up.

It surely does. Poor saps who don't.

Agreed. We each have our methods to our madness, and there is only so much we can each do.

Then again, others try to push people off cliffs to get them there faster. I like the slow walk, smelling the roses, or touching the moss, the sense of discovery the journey provides.

I wonder if any cable channel will be clumsy enough to play Logan's Run during this period?

Very helpful for those not inclined to do the math.

No one will play Logan’s Run, but the modern version “The Island” will be showing on my screen. I love Scarlett

Someone decided to run a more subtle real world version...

Bob, in the end it is the responsibility of people to manage their own lives. Just because the stores are open doesn't mean one has to go. Businesses have done a great job in closing to protect their workers and their communities. But even as they start to open up people have to make decisions for themselves.

There were strong winds here last night, I went to bed with my glasses on ...
Only this morning when I woke up that I realized that I was wearing them, and when I opened the front main door to take a fresh breeze of air in the sun I saw the chairs on my deck pushed by last night winds.

The decisions we make in life they not only affect our directions but also theirs.
Life must go on, in good times as in hard times.
Tim Cook he does what he does, so is Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and all the other leaders and followers living on Earth since the beginning of times.

The times we are in now we discover it each and every minute.
The decisions of yesterday and today and tomorrow lead to our destiny, ours and theirs.

We as the most intelligent animal species on Earth we fail miserably in brightening our destiny and theirs. We are selfish, materialist, arrogant, egoist, hypocrite, inhuman, greedy, unrealistic, blind, not knowing the difference between right and wrong.

The decisions made in pandemic times are erratic as much as they were before it happened.
We couldn't see it coming, or we didn't believe it, and we cut our resources to fight it.
The decisions made yesterday are our own undoing of what we're living today and tomorrow.

Some days I grasp the moments in time and space and live them to the full extent.
Other days I feel lost, insecure, not in charge of my own destiny.

I'm not different than anyone else, I'm surfing this wave as everybody else.

Wise advice.

I agree 100%

In the last 48 hours over 30,000 more new cases, over 1,000 more deaths, over 30 more countries affected by COVID-19

That's not taking into account what not everyone come clean with their numbers.
I suspect the numbers are higher in all categories.

This is the latest and it doesn't look good. Now a national lockdown is being considered. NYC is especially troubling because of the population density.
I suggest whatever your dispensation is...that you pray to the almighty for mercy and a swift end to this plague.
Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi.

Summary:

• NYC Mayor says 'every option on the table' when asked if considering complete shutdown of city + schools.
• US death toll hits 58, 1st death confirmed in Oregon
• US confirmed case total hits 2,952
• Wal-Mart, Stop & Shop cut hours
• Netherlands closes schools, restaurants
• Germany closes borders to neighboring states
• Poland bars foreigners
• West Virginia last US state that's virus-free

Update (1250ET): As Mayor de Blasio dithers, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer called for a city-wide shutdown, including closing bars, movie theaters and restaurants on Sunday as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread. Stringer said only "essential" services like police, fire and hospitals should remain open. Schools should shut, and it's not clear whether Stringer believes the subway should also close.
