Trying to balance budgets in a crisis like this shows our money went to the wrong places

All of this sounds good for people who have the means to get to a store and spend hundreds of dollars. We are not all so fortunate.

On our own, the most honest thing they have said in years

Even if you are not concerned for your own health, I implore everyone to take this disease seriously. Because it's not just about you. It's about the people around you, and the people around the people who are around you. Your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents, and the parents, grandparents, and great grandparents of your friends. These are the people who are at risk, so please, *please* do not let yourselves become complacent, do not think "Oh, I'll be fine, it's not that bad." Because it's not just about you, it's about everyone else.

Bunker down. Meanwhile you’ve created an economy where people live paycheck to paycheck. How about suspension of loan payments? Mortgages? Credit cards? Etc. People can’t bunker down. People need to work.

3000 cases and the country is going to hell. Insane.

What A joke this is. Lets NOT report on the truth and helpful information about whats happening. Instead, lets spend time, waste time and efforts pointing fingers, and collecting sound bites to forward our agenda instead of help the nation that they "SAY" they care about. This is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

I went to the store for a normal shopping trip to restock my kitchen for the week and EVERYTHING was gone. Toilet paper, meats, milk, soup, hand sanitizers, and soo much more were completely empty. The line was over an hour long in every lane. Absolutely crazy.

American we can do better than panic, Italian were singing from their balcony’s, Spain clapping hands for the medical staff for the job that’s being done, we are made of better stuff from our fore fathers. We should praise our official hard work to solve this. Europe is now considered epic center for virus and 6000 people positive. Support is each other in this difficult time, stop hostilities toward each other. Think how our grandparents would of handle this situation.

They're urging us to hunker down and i'm willing to do so but will i get paid? I would like to ride this out at my home until this dies down a little bit but the Govt is only providing support for people who have the Coronavirus. I don't want to get it, and i don't want to spread it to anyone either. You should be able to voluntarily stay home and receive some type of compensation from your job. After all you're doing everyone a favor.

North Korea Kim must be kicking Himself. All He had to so was send a Bat. He wasted time and money on missiles.

I love how these state officials say it's the federal government's fault when state governments do their own thing all the time, like becoming sanctuary states. Gtfoh

[IvyTheBlindHusky]

If corona virus is not about the beer, then why do I keep hearing about cases of it?

[jesusgutierrez]

Americans out here buying tons of toilet paper, water, and food supplies when all that was said was “wash your hands and keep them clean”

[jayhill]

That whole hunker down thing sounds good, but most americans live paycheck to paycheck and HAVE to go to work so thats not gonna happen!!!

[javieremoya]

And tell people who are young, or aren't predisposed to stop hoarding packs of toilet paper from those who actually need them.

Let's build an economy the relies on the majority of low wage worker with little to no health care going to work fulltime at one or more jobs without being able to take any time off for fear of homelessness. Then let's introduce a flu-like pandemic. Forward thinking, 1%.

[Meatwad.Baggins]

Can we just take a moment to recognize that Corona beer has seen a drastic fall in sales. So let's get out there and clear those shelves. Who's with me!!??

[Terrathrax]

This is the chaos that ensues when cities and towns let developers produce apartments, condos, high rises, people farms of all types. They should be much more limited. Not removed, just limited. It's unnatural.

[ChriS-zhbh]

I think the government is doing fine, the media is scaring people

[Sulposition]

Scaring the population into a panic.. this is disgusting.
