For those that think a shutdown may be the precedence going forward after this is over. Are you thinking about the financial impact this will have on all of us, the government included? I just don't see it becoming the new normal, for that reason alone.

 

Doing this when absolutely needed is and then recovering from it is a bit different than doing this when it's not actually needed. It's not something you can do over and over and expect the stay financially stable as a whole.

 

That is the thing people may truly believe things like that is truly needed. Just think about the Swine Flu for example. Say that hadn’t happened yet, and it came up two years from now. The World Health Organization also called than a pandemic. Over 61 million Americans for the swine flu and ended up having 12 thousand American deaths. The country did not shut down for that, even though it definitely was a bad virus.

 

However, if that exact same scenario didn’t happen back then but happened two or three years after this. Chances are people would be using this as a precedent and saying it is needed. That is the point, where this may be a precedent set, to where people will start believing it is needed when things like this, the swine flu, etc come around.

I've heard Kings Islands parking lot is bustling with a lot of military vehicles.

 

No military personal is at KI. I have heard some Ohio counties have requested assistance. So, we should start to see some activity in Ohio.

You really need to read the report posted earlier. I think it outlines certain things that make this a different animal than that.

You think?

 

I'm not denying they're dirty, but cash is...well, cash.

 

Agreed, not sure if folks are rolling up credit card machines to do blow or sticking them in the strippers g string. That's definitely happening with cash though.

Numbers are going to spike pretty quickly here in the next day or two when the labs that can do 10,000 tests a day come online. (I believe the ones running right now can only do a dozen or so.) There'll probably be another run on TP and such, as people will suddenly think the thing is spreading so much faster...when in fact, it's already spread and the tests are just being done quicker.

Maybe people will actually start staying home when the numbers go up.

We are getting closer and closer to a national shutdown of everything '"non-essential".

I'm probably going to steal this. You're 100% right.

City of Cincinnati is making parking free within OTR so that people don't have to pay parking to pick up take-out food. Every little bit to help encourage people to support small businesses.

I'm probably going to steal this. You're 100% right.

 

If I remember correctly, they said we'd be getting about a week's worth of results all in one or two days. So you know the number is going to explode.

You really need to read the report posted earlier. I think it outlines certain things that make this a different animal than that.

 

I read it, but that is the thing this is setting a precedent. At the end of the day the Swine Flu was still bad and lots of deaths. So even something not as bad as this, is probably going to cause people to want to be extra safe and lead to panic. It just is how things work, especially with social media. Especially if something new hits our country first and not another country before us? We had time to prepare for this and still didn’t prepare for this. So if something new comes, and literally know nothing about. It very well could cause people to want to take this drastic step, because as they say better safe than sorry.

At this point it just needs to happen.

An 8-month old baby in Louisville has tested positive.

No doubt numbers are going to explode. And truth be told, I'm sure the powers that be are secretly wanting this (you know what I mean) to help push the message we got to isolated to get ahead of the curve.

What should be done to businesses that refuse to close...such as the Bingo Hall in Pikeville that refuses to close?
