I think we can forget the government at the federal and depend on individual states

To give the direction on how to deal with this coronavirus.

My own state of California is stepping up with its own response. our Governor Newsom is being very proactive in the state. It will take scientists at universities to research and find vaccines. I also think the CDC former employees will also be speaking out.

1. Absolutely, kim - this has been obvious as of the last couple of days - states and communities

are going to do all the right things they can, 100%

Hang tough, everybody, this might get - rough

[2naSalit]

4. As I have been saying...

Brace for impact.

[Leghorn21]

7. ++ yes, 2, yes indeed

Wish I could help, like, rolling bandages at home or something...but our medical community is going to be...pushed HARD

hard times, hang tough

2. Sadly, it's the only way to

protect and save ourselves from this menace... and the virus too.

3. I completely agree. Trump's fed are less than worthless

[unblock]

5. We will have to, but the usual failings of the race to the bottom

render the combined state-level responses close to useless.

8. I live in a great state..

for proactive responses. Amazing what a few miles can mean.

[defacto7]

9. Absolutely...

10. That use to be a good solution but since Walker. I've decide I have more faith in a HS valedictorian

Walker and Trump cut from the same piece of cloth. Me, me, me and power, power, power. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Oh for those that don't know Wisconsin.

11. The federal government ceased to exist as soon as the russian agent orange took office. nt

12. Like climate change. The tRump-RepubliCON regime blocks progress and is INCOMPETENT. . . nt

13. Unless you live in a teabagger state like Arkansas.

Our closet hospital in 50 miles away.

14. I just wonder when it starts getting bad in those southern states with no close hospitals

And people not being able to afford going to see the doctor. It could really spread more in those states then blue states that have functioning governments who are there to protect and serve their citizens Instead of red state government that serves business interests.

MF45 supporters are the perfect demographic group who will ignore warnings because the stupid orange one told them the whole Coronavirus thing is a hoax

15. Everyone is talking about vaccines, but what about treatment?? Is there nothing available to treat

the virus?

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. I am completely fucked then.

Alabama, nuff said

17. I would start wearing gloves in public if I lived in one of those southern states.

18. I live in California. And I was in Costco yesterday.

Most of the employees were wearing gloves. And if they weren't, the second they did anything with their hands, they used hand sanitizer.

I don't know about other states, but here in California most stores offer cart wipes, to wipe off the handles on the cart so that you don't pass germs along. I've been doing that for years, and I always carry my own wipes.

Anyway, one of the Costco employees saw me wiping the handles on the cart, and he actually thanked me for doing it.

[kimbutgar]

19. I live in California also used my arms instead of hands to push my cart at Costco

But I did notice the employees wearing gloves thinking back about it.

[Dem2theMax]

20. It really surprised me. But I don't blame them.

When you have that many people coming into one place in a day, can't hurt to do what you can to protect yourself.
