fully immersed in faith..
and it is almost certain things would not have gone this route if demmycunts and lib'rul media had not intentionally incited public panic in their effort to take down Trump........

So nothing? Just say that then. Because all I really care about is being able to eat.
Liberal democrats have proposed not just a one time Trump check, but monthly payments until the crisis ends, and massively expanded unemployment benefits. Have you ever supported liberals and democratic socialists? Or is your voting pattern more a every-man-for-himself libertarianism?

Good morning I<3Big Anime Tiddies,
I don't think there is any plan to stop everything for that long. We just have to pause for a few weeks to flatten the curve, buy some time. 65% of the population is getting this bug. We are simply trying to stretch that out so it doesn't happen all at once. Most people won't die. It has a low mortality rate. It's just really contagious, so we have to keep our distance from others as much as possible up front. After more and more people get the bug, social distancing won't work any more. Things will be brought back online.
I am guessing that after a region goes on total lock-down for a while, the logical thing to do is to begin bringing essential services back online first, while keeping everybody else on lock down. Then, gradually, over time more and more workers will be released to go back to work, all according to how essential their work is to society. I agree, there is no way we can survive if everything is stopped for a long period.
I just got back from the grocery store. I hit 'em up just after the opened. As I suspected, there must have been a line to get in at opening time. I timed my visit so that line would have a chance to file in and get their carts. I got my cart and went directly to the meat display. It was about 1/4 stocked. I was able to find everything I needed. Then I checked for eggs. No problem. Got eggs. I could have gotten several dozen, but I didn't want to horde. Then I went to the bread isle. Plenty of bread. Thinking I was lucky, I went to the paper products isle. Nothing there. Oh well. I got what I really needed. I am cure paper products will be in full supply soon enough. I can conserve what I've got and be fine for weeks.
Basically, it was just as I thought. A store full of food. Maybe I didn't get everything I wanted (no chicken) but there was plenty of food.
Next will be a trip to the liquor store. We'll see how that goes.

Well think again then I guess.

Next up comes rationing of everything "essential" and with no capital for non-essentials those industries shutter for good. And since we are primarily a exporter of goods, the rest of the world isn't going to sit around and wait a few years for America to open for business, they'll go elsewhere. Probably back to China. In the mean time, we'll be reverting to semi-permanent agrarianism.

Wow, would you look at that?

Would not take much. Do you have something a little more challenging? Fucking Millennials.
Trump’s government fucked this up.
It’s a fucking virus, you fucking idiot. No more a Chinese virus than a Spanish flu.
The world has shrunk, dumbfuck, and there’s nowhere for morons like you to hide.

If it's no challenge then go do it.
Foreign aid is about $40 billion. That is a small portion of the already over $1 trillion for all the money proposed for fighting the virus and stimulating the economy.

Hello I<3Big Anime Tiddies,
I'm sure I don't know everything just as I am sure those predictions are not ultimate knowledge.
From your article:
" measures could be relaxed and tightened intermittently, but would have to be maintained at some level for up to 18 months or longer "
Just what I expected. I am sure there will be plenty to eat, it may just not be everything we would like. Despite people carting huge baskets of food out of the store, there was far more left in the store. Popular favorite items and paper products were in short supply. I am confident America is working on that.

That said, I will continue to grow as much of my own food as possible. Getting close to planting time. I am now thinking of it as my 'Victory Garden' in our war against the bug.
