Busses are free here now too, but it's warm. The homeless would rather be outside. They have their hangouts and cliques just like the 'homed'. Are they really just riding around for warmth there? No shelter they can go to?
Have they blocked or removed any seats, put up a plastic shield for you or given you a mask? Those things are happening here.
As you said, you're (more than) probably going to be ok. You've already beaten death with experience.

Re: State borders
Respectfully disagree. I’m no city planner or anything. But seems logical it would help some people some places. I don’t think it would take much for governors to close borders to things other than interstate commerce and I think it would help.
If there is a particularly nasty flare up in say, Cleveland, give it 3 weeks and mitigates itself a bit. Yeah it would suck but not permanent, I don’t think it’s a slippery slope argument like that erosion of liberties article from Vox I posted previously. It’s not 1918 anymore, but they did similar things then.

Hawaii has imposed a 14 day mandatory quarantine for all arrivals. If they can do it Utah can, too. Might not be as easy, but just as legal.

Fuck that. It's in peoples' cells. If your just going to accept that it's everywhere then cancel all efforts to slow the spread. Your doorway is no different than your state border and you should just accept it into your lungs now. Fuck that. Infection is relative. Same with spread.

I think Texas pushed theirs through already as well.
And my thoughts are coming from CO, while not the worst, I think we are currently in the top 10. Some of the rural places have been spared so far. Might as well continue if we can. Clearly just brainstorming but seems logical to me.

Honestly I don't know how they get fed. If you are a non-resident your designated quarantine location is your hotel and you are not allowed to leave or stop off on the way to or from. No car rentals, you have to take a shuttle or an uber. The state can call the proprietors and have them look to make sure you're there. The fact that there is no apparent provision for food aside from giving you the right to have deliveries left outside makes it pretty untenable.
We canceled, which was their goal. I think the airlines should have cancelled flights and used those planes to retrieve Americans abroad but this way they can keep your money (at least for a while--hopefully not ending with their BK).

The fact that it spreads between humans is exactly the point: in any given location some have it and some don't. Travelling between states is not more benign than going in to work. The potential to spread by moving around has nothing to do with whether you're bringing the first case or the 500th. Stay home. You don't know you don't have it.

^^^ Trump said measures were to get to one to two hundred thousand dead and avoid one to two million dead. Parade of CEO’s thanked Trump for his great leadership
