Once it is turned off, it will not be turning back on. No switch flipping will make everything better. [/quote] I disagree. The infrastructure is there to flip it back on. What will take time is consumer confidence. We need to get pass the virus hysteria. [/quote] The infrastructure is at home, collecting a government check and jerking off to porno. They will not be coming back anytime soon. The longer the machine is turned off, the harder it is to turn it on with every single business under debt stress and bankruptcy soon. [/quote] My brother...unless its Ma'am Not everyone has struggled in life on that kind of level like you :tomato::cruisewuflu: All jokes aside the federal government wont allow the infrastructure to collapse under these conditions. The steps taken may have inflicted serious damage but we are not quite there yet. Millions may be unemployed now and that is leading to trump considering opening thingas back up. If a 2nd wave of outbreaks hit, it will be catastrophic and leave only 2 choices. Allow it to run its course like in the UK initially or shut it down again which could destroy the american economy. Just my worthless 2 cents. [/quote] You are of the federal government will save us clan. I respect your clan but do not agree with it. No one is coming to save you. Save yourself and anyone you care about. Better start sooner than later. [/quote] On the contrary, im a wanna be doomsday prepper who got to waste his teen years preparing for y2k with his doomsday parents. Your full of assumptions my friend. I do enjoy a good spat even when its with an ac with a touch of downs. I actually crossed paths with one of the first 3 confirmed cases in my county 4 weeks ago and watched the state withold that info fron the public to allow business to protect their liability and control public fears. Watched as we all did as the feds downplayed this thing up until two weeks ago when the numbers were to great to divert attention. And no, your dead wrong if you're calling for save yourself and those in your inner circle. Thats a cowards move... Ive switched careers and will be keeping America fed as long as possible during the greatest crisis America has faced since WWII. If those within my reach are affected I will be there to help and support where I can. Enjoy hiding and watching from your window during your porn breaks friend :hf: [/quote]

Update 4/12
After considering the consequences of adding to fears I have decided not to proceed with keeping this thread updated on a daily basis. Those who wish to share information and discuss the subject are free to do so. The anxiety I created for myself alone is enoigh for me to step back. I recognize my limitations and will no longer participate in this thread. We need solutions to problems rather than adding to the problem themselves.
Supply chains starting to crack. I work for a major food processing plant in the midwest. Someone I work with has family that works at the factory who supplies all of our plastic products. This particular factory supplies our company with 30,000 cups and lids of all sizes every few days. Apparently that plant is shutting down for 28 days. This will disrupt our ability to distribute our food products at the plant I work at. As of now we will be down the next 3 days for fog disinfecting the entire plant for a 2nd week in a row. With this disruption we are expecting an additional week to two weeks of no production which will significantly impact walmarts and grocery stores across the region.
This is the real deal folks. Food manufacturing in the midwest are now seeing disruptions. You know what will follow. Will keep this thread updated.
