    Most knowledgeable citizens will socially distance themselves without mandates from government. It will help, to a great extent, to prevent the spread of the Chinese virus.

    Same thing here in Ohio. I can work, but I think after I finish these two showers on an unoccupied lake house, I'm gonna take a break. My wife has to work too, and her employer is being a jerk about it.

    I personally don't want to get the shit. I think the whole country should have done the two week stay-at-home thing when the president first issued the guideline. That probably would have nipped it in the bud. You truly are essential, 75% of the things on that list probably are not. Moot point I guess, it's a little too late for that isn't it?

    Gee weren't you the guy that said the SG was causing a panic?
    And you think this statement by the surgeon general, inciting possible panic in an already semi panicky society, is a good thing? Good fucking grief man, get ahold of yourself. What the fuck.
    Funny now you want to heed his advice to not catch it.

    If that's the case, why do we have over 3 million unemployment claims in just one week?

    Does calling this a Chinese virus absolve trump for his ongoing failures in dealing with it?
