There was a press conference from the UK Prime Minister this afternoon where he outlined the escalation of measures to help combat the spread of it. They are advising against people going to pubs, clubs, restaurants, theatres, basically all social venues but have stopped short of actively banning people although doubtless many will choose to close instead. They have also removed emergency services cover from mass gatherings and large events basically meaning none can take place, as well as advising against all non-essential social contact or non-essential travel. They are also preparing to instruct those in the most at-risk groups to basically isolate themselves for 12 weeks.

Anyone who has the symptoms is being told to isolate themselves for a week if they live alone and any families with someone who has it are being told to isolate everyone in the household for two weeks.

^President Trump said something similar.
12 weeks? Ain't happening.
Not containable for all practical purposes no more than the flu.
Time to thin the herd.

The USA now has the 4th largest coronavirus case load worldwide.
Boom, coronavirus give me your best shot... here be the whiskey drinking, cigar smoking boys from the South.

Once we are all in lock down it will be a UE related photo mission to go out and take pictures especially portrait shots of peeps sneaking into shopping plazas and like laying there in the parking lot during daylight. With no cars parked and all the businesses closed. Photos would be sick! Never mind driving 7 hours out to nowhere land and spending a butt load in gas money. Just sneak outside your place in a camouflage outfit taking the forest route and get some pics of places desolate of people since everyone is at home in quarantine. That is if you are not sick at home with the virus and stuck. Bite my lip I don't already have it.

The folks in Ottawa have some new restrictions regarding the Southern Border.

We are in for an interesting lesson in stateside human behavior.

Agreed with the photo ops. Get out there and get some empty city shots!

Starting Wednesday, Russia is closing the border until May 1.

My guess is so that infected foreigners don't mess the Victory Day Parade, but Steven Seagal can still sit in the bleachers.

NJ is almost at a complete lockdown. The guard dogs are out and we are "urged" to be inside by 8. They're threatening Disorderly Conduct charges to those who dont comply.

Ha! That’s my plan since I’m considered essential and our county was just given the shelter in place order

Fat Ron's is closing their dining rooms nationwide. Drive-up only until further notice.

Some Walmart stores are self-checkout only, but that's not universal.

Creepy sort of old school cool...



Not cool at all...

Apparently in a disaster according to San Francisco Mayor London Breed, exercise is essential. Right.
With all the homeless drug addicts it will spread like nuts.
Or are they going to round them up and put them in a quarantine internment?

We'll see... voluntary or involuntary if the pandemic continues as it will.
The hospitals are filled to capacity in some areas already in the US.
Don't you just hate it when I'm right?
