Regarding food, I'm pretty stocked but would like to get dinner delivered. A bit concerned about whose cooking the food though.

Which will be the final nail in the restaurant coffin. They won't even have takeout business

Probably military MREs distributed by the National Guard.

Yeah. I was tempted to do take out but then I'm like...wait a minute, who's cooking this stuff?

Anyway...don't freak out! It'll just lower your immune system. Think positively, be informed, make good decisions, eat as healthy as you can and exercise! And surround yourself with positive, optimistic people to lift up your spirits. And laugh! Or surround yourself with people who will make you laugh. It releases endorphins. You can fight off this disease. Many people have done so.

I'm a law abiding citizen in every way but I'll lose my head if I am cooped up inside the house for more than 3 days.
this here is why china wins.
their respect for authority and collectivism mentality is why they were able to stop the spread of the disease.
whereas over here, it's all about me, me, me.


I too think there's an overreaction to the whole situation (probably because I'm not old and frail), but we have evidence of a model that worked, and it would be insane to not emulate it at this point.
i'm all for personal freedom, but turbulent times call for turbulent measures.

We're adding too much suffering to circumstance rather than using common sense and taking extra preventive measures. Allergy season is also on its way or rather may even be here already. The more the coughs and sneezes happen, the more paranoid people are going to be. All this over-reaction is truly ridiculous.
Well the anti lame stream, Fox News, News Max etc fanned conspiracies, called all this a hoax, encouraged people to travel and well after this may be responsible for our nation's poor response.

If you're a bit concerned, you will be a bit reluctant to eat a little bit of delivered food.
