We need a flat limit of 20-100 people max per building or gathering across the country, or something like that...

According to what I saw on CNN:

World Figure Skating Championships in Montreal scheduled for March 17-22 has been cancelled.

I don't think you understand what is coming in a couple of weeks, it will be a disaster zone, you should read what is happening in Spain and Italy, and what are the projections for the US...You will be looking back to today nostalgically as "the good old times"...

Some people will still be complaining about restrictions and still planning to travel. It’s sad to see the “nothingburger” people from 2 weeks ago are now not saying “nothingburger” but still pushing their individual freedom to the detriment of society as a whole BS.

At some point most will flip their thinking either because a loved one who is in a risky group contracts the virus or widespread transmission causes incredible societal chaos. Even still there will be some lamenting restrictions on their mileage running.....

Walt Disney World closing 3/15 until end of month. Universal Orlando followed suit. Disney Cruise lines suspending departures 3/15 through end of month also.

Walt Disney World & Universal Orlando resorts closing amid COVID-19 pandemic

Ever seen a slow motion train wreck? It is coming but you just don't know it. Already played out in parts of China, Korea, Iran and Italy.

And I think adding to this, 2 weeks from now, we will start seeing general home quarantine recommendations for the mass public state by state.

Wow, that's practically in our backyard. Good thing though as people would come from all over for that and there would bound to be contagion.

If everyone just stayed home for a week, I think we'd see an impact for sure. But that's a hard thing to ask as that means the entire economy--everything--would literally stop for a week. And the problem with that is that someone has to pay for it--banks will still want mortgages paid, taxes are still due, bills are still due. This is what has me worried. If as many people as get sick have to file for bankruptcy, 1929 and the Great Depression will be re-lived once again as everything will almost literally dry up.

What, 2,500 people died in China in 4 months. In a country of 1+Billion?

And we’ve shut the entire global economy down because of the fear that THAT will spread. This is room temperate IQ decision making we are witnesses.

—
Over 150,000 people die every DAY around the world (~57Million a year).
And, uh, we have decided to sink the ship we’re all on because it might be 57.005Million this year)

It’s delusion at the highest level.
I think this is from a lack of critical thinking skills taught in schools anymore.
Everyone is just following the herd now.

Why think for ourselves - just cancel everything!
Cancel work.
Cancel meetings.
Cancel events.
Cancel shows.

Cancel something and it will go away. Then we are all safe and good humans.

- Tribeca Film Festival
 

Yesterday, the Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) in lower Manhttan - originally scheduled for April 13-27. De Niro started it back in 2002 as part of the renewal of the Lower East Side after 9/11.

I am very annoyed with the LM cancellations! Who cancels a major int'l conference three days before it starts? SXSW is one of the worst. But I am sure there are others??
