Complete hearsay, so take this with a grain of salt...

My wife's coworker just called. Her (co-worker's) brother is a loan officer at a bank. His co-worker has an aunt that works for the CIA. The aunt called him today and stated that she couldn't go into details, but that she would strongly advise him to go to the grocery and stock up on as much non-perishable food and other necessities as possible.

If I read it on Ohio Chatter, it must be true.

Like I said, take it with a grain of salt. But my wife trusts her co-worker to not be full of shit. She said her brother isn't the type to worry, and had been making fun of the panic so far, but went to the store as soon as he got off work today.

Does your wife’s coworker’s brother’s coworker’s aunt know the lottery numbers too by chance?

This virus is all over the world.  There isnt panic anywhere else.

I’m curious as to what everyone is doing when it comes to leaving their houses. If you don’t have to go into work, are you just staying holed up? 
 

Working in healthcare I’ll obviously still be going in, 40-50/hours a week. Still need to hit up the store and as long as the gym is open I’ll keep going there too.

The gym sounds like the worst place to go? I mentioned before, I work in tourism so I’m not working from home anytime soon

Justin, I wonder if that’s because the trading may be halted for a bit? Food shortage...?

Just passing along info I received. Ignore it for all I care. 

But Italy is pretty much on lock down.

I’m at trivia at our country club right now. I’m living life like normal until I can’t.

I’m a respiratory therapist working in ER and ICU. My job is the worst place to go. Might as well go to the gym, too.

The Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton is saying 1% of Ohio's population is carrying the coronavirus.  Over 100,000.  This explains actions taken.  The picture speaks volumes just look at Gov. DeWine in the background desperately clinging onto whats left of his balls.

PGA Tour finally following suit and canceling events. Now canceled through the Valero Open. Which means the next event is possibly The Masters.

Not sure. We’re at Kroger and have a full cart of non perishables. Worst case we’re stocked up for a while.

Nope. But I saw that Netflix was all screwy for some people.

Weird. It wouldn't load at all on my phone but works fine on my computer.

We just got back from Kroger. Pretty crazy, still a lot of stuff available but the shelves are definitely getting bare. Lots of people out buying full carts of stuff. My wife and I filled a cart, should be enough for a month if something drastic happens. If not, we've supplemented our grocery shopping through the summer.
