I have friends looking to take advantage of the dirt cheap all inclusive vacations right now; I’m telling them exactly what you just shared. I think all of this is stupid panic but I’m not leaving the country at all because you risk getting caught on the wrong side of a quarantine. 2 weeks vacation in Cabo is fantastic until it turns into 2 months stuck in Mexico and you’re not on a resort.

It looks like what we are doing in the United States to slow the spread of the virus is mirroring other countries. In other countries,they are not letting people travel from town to town. If that happens in the US, you know it's serious.

I'm currently visiting New Orleans, and not gonna lie, an announcement that each city is being quarantined is in the back of my head. (BTW, Canal St is a sh!thole). I'm enjoying all the amazing food and booze here, but I'm looking forward to getting out of here tomorrow.

The Tybee Island Irish Heritage Celebration Parade scheduled for 3pm Saturday, March 14th, was cancelled by the City of Tybee Island and the Irish Heritage Committee at 10am Saturday. In true Tybee Island fashion the parade participants decided to parade anyway! A grand time was had by all on a very beautiful day.
I did not attend because I had to go to the grocery store.

Comcast and ATT are doing something similar

Election officials in Georgia have postponed the March 24 presidential primaries over fears of the growing coronavirus pandemic.
The contest will be pushed until May, officials said.
Louisiana became the first state to do so on Friday.

ATLANTA, Ga. (WSAV) – Governor Brian Kemp issued an executive order to call up as many as 2,000 Georgia National Guard troops to active duty to address the coronavirus and COVID-19 in Georgia.
According to the Governor, the Georgia National Guard will help ensure the steady supply of medical equipment, food, shelter, or related materials to Georgia communities.

The Georgia National Guard is assisting with the transfer of thirty-one Georgians – formerly passengers on the Grand Princess cruise ship – from Dobbins Air Reserve Base to their homes this weekend.
