The President is going to address the public from the Oval Office tonight in a live telecast.  I wonder what news he will say? 

It is said he will be calming but also address what steps the government will do to fight the Coronavirus.

It is starting right now.

It is reassuring major steps are being taken, but I hope it isn't just prolonging things as well to hit our peak later.  But at the same time, if we can diminish transmission, hopefully that vaccine will be done by the end of the year.

I really hope this can be contained.  I have dread in my heart.  I can feel it. :( I'm worried for family.

Anyone on these forums from other countries?  Would they care to share their situations and how their country's are handling the issue and how YOU are doing yourself?

Everywhere I am going is empty... It's weird... kinda freaky.  Even the forum is empty.  I would think with people being indoors it would be busier, lol.

Went grocery shopping yesterday. The clearouts were ridiculous. Meat and fish section? Gone. Frozen foods? Empty. Bread? Nada. Milk and Eggs? Bye Bye. I hate what the news is doing. Yeah the virus is something to be weary of but their overexaggerating of it always makes things worse.

It stinks people who are living their average lives can't get their normal food supplies because panicked (Selfish?) people are buying way more than they need.  I know this is happening around the world too, but come on people.  Be respectful of others.

I feel bad for the elderly who don't have access to all the info and they can't get their food at the store because someone else bought it all.

Not to mention cleaning supplies and bathroom products.  Everything is gone.

It's good to hear there will be relief for us, but I wonder what will be decided upon?  I also worry this will definitely inflate out nation's debt. :(  But I guess this is what we pay our taxes for in emergencies like this.

How is everyone?
