Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has warned violators of coronavirus lockdown measures they could be shot for causing trouble and said abuse of medical workers was a serious crime that would not be tolerated.
that is where the big trouble is....china literally had one epicenter, but there are many epicenters blowing up in the US...that is why I liked states like RI who acted to close state borders...but under the US political system, it is not legally feasible.
RI took a page from China. Some of the smaller towns in China took it upon themselves to roadblock and checkpoint their own. But instead of, "you're from Wuhan?!" it's "You're from New York?!"

Nobody knows how many epicenters they had in China. Need to count all the urns

They showed on TV some people in Manila violating order were being put in dog cages
New York has become the epicenter of the world. It may surpass Italy or Spain in terms of cases tomorrow. Still, you see lots of people on the street and packed subway. If life continues that like, it won't reach "apex" anytime soon
A perfect storm': US facing hunger crisis as demand for food banks soars
Food banks are reporting unprecedented demand across the US as millions lose jobs, investigation shows
An unprecedented number of Americans have resorted to food banks for emergency supplies since the coronavirus pandemic triggered widespread layoffs.
The demand for food aid has increased as much as eightfold in some areas, according to an investigation by the Guardian, which gives a nationwide snapshot of the hunger crisis facing the US as millions become unemployed.
About one in three people seeking groceries at not-for-profit pantries last month have never previously needed emergency food aid, according to interviews with a dozen providers across the country.
The national guard has been deployed to help food banks cope with rising demand in cities including Cleveland, Phoenix and St Louis amid growing concerns that supplies may run low as the crisis evolves. Overstretched food pantries are switching to drive-thrus and home deliveries to minimize the spread of Covid-19 as almost 300 million Americans are urged to stay at home.
