    US is about to go into a 2 week lockdown

    Take it for what it’s worth but someone very high in the pentagon just told my pops that the country will go into a 2 week lockdown. Confirmed by someone else I know. Trump to announce in the next day.

    I’m not sure if this means essential people can move around or if restaurants can open, etc. I personally think it will end up longer than 2 weeks. We shall see.

    Define lockdown. Pence just said the states would be left up to the governors

    There were a lot of people claiming that they had sources that Trump was going to announce the 14 day lockdown today at the 5 PM EST briefing today. There would be no interstate travel, no travel between states, and all flights would be grounded.

    I hope the stock market pauses asap as well before the Monday open. Monday looks brutal. Already limit down in the futures market tonight and it happened very early into trading. Looks very possible they go through to Level 3 tomorrow where they stop trading for the day.

    Yep, very weird that he just said it would be left to the states but now they would go to a national lockdown??? I think it means a quarantine in place for 2 weeks. No leaving the house.

    I understand the frustration. I'm not going to punch anyone, but I will definitely go outside if I want to. I live in CA. A million homeless people. How the F are they gonna stipulate not being outdoors when something like skid row exists in every major CA population center?

    CDC just released rule number one no gatherings of more than 50 people in one place, schools and businesses excluded. They didn’t go into details, so who knows what it really means. Going to last 8 weeks.

    later

    This thread is ridiculous all of this is old news and there’s no rules with the CDC they are just recommendations. In fact the recommendation said that it doesn’t supersede local guidelines.

    Any “lock down” would be entirely voluntary they’ve already said that.

    They already suggested the people over 60 be prepared for an extended stay at home on March 10th...in case you guys don’t understand that’s what a lockdown means.

    Recommendations to close bars and restaurants are being considered and followed all across the country.

    Please don’t mistake CDC recommendations for some kind of federal mandate, martial law, or some sort of forced lockdown...LMAO

    There’s no national curfew coming guys I know how bad you want it but it’s just local. Everything else will be voluntary unless you’ve been put in quarantine from travel.

    Tomorrow the government may issue guidelines, they’re not at a stage where anything will be mandatory, states counties and cities are handling those rules, like closing bars.

    Local governments will set rules but no one will force you to stay home; that’s voluntary.

    Can’t emphasize enough that guidelines and recommendations from the CDC and the government are not mandatory rules.

    See. Now all those retards that went out and hoarded will face my wrath. If I'm left without food, I won't even bother knocking on the door. This is exactly why people should not be selfish.
