So, the cause of traffic jams is non-essential people! I knew it all along. LOL. Stay safe, y'all.

What does a quarantine due to coronavirus mean for truckers?
I'm enjoyin' the intelligent debate. Y'all do a nice job of keeping it civil--better than F.B.! Some of my colleagues have seen people with actual diapers on their face! LOL. Personally, I'm just spraying alcohol between customers on the credit card machine and door handle. I have some really sick people come in, though. I'm pretty sure I've caught it already, but I'll be fine. I do feel like I have OCD with all this cleaning and sanitizing, tho.

My niece sent me this link. She's a night RN in this emergency room. She says, quite simply, they're overwhelmed.
If she's in NYC, then yea.. they're overwhelmed! Its a fast spreading virus. When it first came out, I was thinking ~10 million in this country could die from it (thinking ~ 5% mortality).. Right now, Italy has ~ 10%, but Germany ~ .6%, so perhaps many who aren't being tested are carriers and not showing symptoms. Germany is testing everyone, I think.. . that being said, if half of Americans catch it, using Germany's numbers, ~500,000-1,000,000 of us could die from this. I hope I'm wrong, but so far, it doesn't seem that way. ... Hopefully, all this craziness with quarentines and social distancing at least slows this thing down long enough for treatments or vaccinces to help. Back a month or so ago, I thought that we would have total areas of the country blocked off, nothing in or out, but that ain't happened, so this thing is gonna be with us for a while. Take care, y'all. Glad you feel better, Pack Rat!

Looking at some stuff coming from other countries, it seems that ~1/2 of everyone who has it wont show any symptoms... so there isn't much anyone can do about it, anyway. I feel like its already widespread, and isn't as bad as first thought. We can slow it down a bit, but some of the panic out there is over the top. It does suck in the north east, tho.. they're running out of ventilators in NYC and Philly.

We're sold out of thermometers (and everything else!). They don't do much good, anyways. Only half the people have a temp.
