So what are you trying to get across? You don't think it's quite the comical joke you thought it was last week? Nobody needs to view more news clips, it's a pandemic. RAY
Great bring that ship into my backyard them move them to Travis which is in a highly populated area.
The best thing they could have done was keep that ship on anchor in the middle of the SF bay or drop them off on Alcatraz and quarantined them right there, with food and hospitals 30 minutes away in SF or Oakland. This decision is going to backfire on us big time.
They could've air dropped food and meds to them using military choppers, but no lets load them up on busses and drive the 1 hr 30 minutes to Travis........these people are ignorant at best.

Setting up shop on Alcatraz would have made too much sense, remember, getting the ship docked was all run by politicians. I told my friend who was stuck on the GP he should be happy it wasn't torpedoed at night and sunk in the shipping channel before it ever got thru the Golden Gates. RAY
Easy folks, we all are concerned and the one thing in common is we don't have control. Stoking up the situation with hindsight observations only serves to inflate emotions when the true need is for calm, structured thinking by those in charge. What we do have is the ability to make smart decisions for ourselves and family. Keep things clean, cover your cough, and wash your hand A LOT. Let's also remember these poor folks on the GP are all somebody's loved ones and are going through a very rough time.
I know it is happening in CA but all NY state colleges have already suspended graduations...how they can make that call this early is beyond me. I can see the extended spring breaks...maybe. Although sending everyone back to other infected areas only to have them all come back to school might backfire.
I don't think there's much guesswork any more as to how bad this is going to be, at a minimum.
The only thing unknown is just how terrible it will get.

Like you, my father (86) is trying to seclude himself in PA and avoiding most social events even some as small as his local pot luck dinner. He has a restrictive lung issue (copd like) and other slight issues, he knows if he gets it, it won't end well. I won't even see him when I go to my house near him as I have a ton more interaction with people down here in Long Island.
I suspect schools shutting down, cancellation of sporting events, and everything else that is going on is both an abundance of caution and, more importantly, a need to avoid litigation. There's already one Grand Princess lawsuit. I suspect more will follow.
Two more cases in Middle TN. My alma mater (MTSU) just shut down campus classes for another week, and no fans allowed at the SEC championship in Nashville. Geez!

I still think it's a comical joke. I am just posting the news for those who are paranoid.
News is overblowing this as it does with everything else and people are panicking and buying out things that they shouldnt. Also, social media and homeopathic industry is going full gear into hawking products that don't work (FDA has allready shutdown 8 websites claiming miracle cures). Also, folks are buying stuff in bulk and price gouging. I saw an Asian lady at Costco walk away with two carts full of ribs. She bought out the whole freezer section.
Then another was walking out with a full cart full of baby formula.
It's crazy, some people are selfish and opportunistic aholes.
Oh and I am ready see below.

That was an official ArcGIS website. People please think and research before reacting! This above is exactly the reason behind what's going on now in stores. People react without knowledge.
Here is a cleaner one

Not you directly. I am just making a general observation.
Sure many sites can be fake but this is ArcGIS. If an official esri ArcGIS site were to host malware than they would loose massive contracts with the defense industry.
Of course many sites can be made to look the same. So yeah always verify your links. However if it comes directly from esri servers then it should be safe.
I have worked with esri ArcGIS for decades.
Why do you care so much as to what others are doing, are you not able to purchase a rack of ribs or some baby formula? Personally I never rally sweat what other folks are doing as long as I don't have a problem taking care of myself, that hasn't happened yet. You seem to worry about shoppers and websites enough for the both of us, kind of comical to me. I'll just concern myself with minding my own business.
