Zep - trust me I do not want to shut down the economy. We are doing our second round of lay offs today. My wife and I own a restaurant so you can imagine how directly we are impacted.
Sorry to hear that wbuffetjr....I know it is really bad for restaurants. In Dallas they are trying to be creative with take-out and actually selling eggs and stuff....I am afraid if this lasts very long...most of them won't make enough to weather this storm. The governor is even allowing them to deliver alcohol drinks if someone orders food.

It is interesting that "99% of Those Who Died From Virus Had Other Illness", Italy Says. I think Italy has the highest aged population in Europe.
