That's what I say also. BTW guns and ammo stock running low. Better safe than sorry for own protection. Just being prudent.

Yea I know, most 9mm ammo outta stock sad... Stay safe.

Also, a request regarding this post from twitter, can someone translate?

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1239664623491653635

There are few more posts in that twitter handle's profile.

Recording doesn't make sense, it's most certainly missing a lot of context.

It talks about "experts signing" to supposedly end quarantine, but then talks about how the decision is made based on X-Rays.

The purpose of quarantine is to prevent infection. This has nothing to do with x-ray images. You can certainly have healed lungs but still be infectious. To date, the only criteria for recovery has been testing negative for the virus twice in a row, with 24 hours between the tests.

Since the subtitles are in traditional Chinese, I can only assume that some Taiwanese person/organization manipulated this recording to disseminate more anti-China propaganda.

The twitter handle is "jenniferatntd", the "ntd" stands for New Tang Dynasty which is a Falun Gong TV station in New York, so yes, it is definitely anti-China/CCP propaganda.

Sorry your guess is as good as mine. The only thing we can realistically do is prepare for that possibility. I count myself lucky as I do not share elevators, wide space neighborhood, stocked, and 5 minutes walk to work if necessary. I worry about some of my more vulnerable neighbors though as this can be potentially fatal to some.

Ideally, work from home if that is possible!

I hope you've stocked up on food, staying home is the safest thing to do right now!

Considering how crowded NYC usually is and how fast this virus is spreading, if you must go out, make sure you wear a surgical mask and gloves. Do not take chances, avoid people! I fear it's going to get very bad in NYC...

Stay safe!

I'm actually planning to move out to the suburbs soon, but I have to wait for my contractors to finish renovating the house. I just really hope I can make the move in time before any kind of lock-down/travel restrictions. I kind of regret start renovations now... when I started them a three weeks ago, the coronavirus was already looming in the horizon. And the cash would've come in handy to buy all the under-priced stocks available in a few weeks time...

I think a lockdown of NYC would happen very soon. The mayor has acknowledged that there are many many more cases. Keep in mind that there are backlog of testings which mean they know things are bad but just waiting to confirm how bad it is.

It doesn't take much to incite riots against Chinese and Asians especially if things deteriorated. Trump might think it is a good way to deflect blame. But ultimatically East Asian Americans would pay the price.

Sorry to hear that. You'll have to figure out what works best for you. It is not the end of the world and you just need to stay calm and make the best out of tough situation. I hope things work out.

who is the real "sick man" now? why no reporters reported the same way to China a month ago by The Wall Street Journal? very biased and double standard to suit them

Try to keep politics to a minimum, I missed some of the good links coming out of this thread since it was locked.

Crazy to see the situation at grocery stores right now. I can’t believe that the Canadian governments around the country had allowed so many conferences to continue. They should have been a little more proactive.

Still have a conference last week! Unbelievable. I think maybe they were a little overconfident due to the fairly effiecient testing so far. I believe over 30,000 done, which is more than the US, a joke considering the much smaller population.

Even with this in mind, I still find myself looking up Mossberg 590 online... also, does anyone like Holosun sights?
