Emergency rooms are still open and so are hospitals. Edited March 16, 2020 by missmuffet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not mine anyway. Stuff is open here. Grocery is closing at 9 PM though, they need the extra time, I think, to stock and to sanitize even more than usual. Fresh foods aplenty and lots of seafood, no TP but it is coming, the demand exceeds manufacturer's capacity to make it by 30% is all. Trucks are rolling bringing in the goods. That's here on the suncoast of Florida. My family members worked all day at their respective company's offices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should have a vaccine for those that will take it in a year or so and people are working on actual medication to stop the virus after you catch it.... I've read several places where people are testing different drugs.... so it really is good to slow things down for a couple of weeks if we can.. Especially if it turns out to be seasonal which will give us most of the summer to work on things... and if it's not seasonal we might keep the number of active cases manageable and people won't die due to the lack of care. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the CDC: "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is a respiratory illness that affected many people worldwide in 2003. It was caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. The illness spread to 29 countries, where 8,096 people got SARS and 774 of them died. The SARS global outbreak was contained in July 2003. Since 2004, there have not been any known cases of SARS reported anywhere in the world." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, grocery stores that are closing earlier than usual to stock, clean, and sanitize should reserve the first hour of the day for senior citizens to shop while the store was in it's best state of cleanliness for the day. Ideally seniors would have someone help them with shopping but that is not always the reality. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
