For the US, I don't think so.
California should pay attention to it just because I'd expect Coronavirus + drought will be a thing in summer, for most places, filters should be fine.

We have drought-like conditions but droughts affect on water supplies take years to accumulate. We aren't going to have any water shortages in California for 2-3 years at least.

As far as water goes, is there any real possibility that public water services cease?

I realize not everyone has GOOD water utilities


I panic bought one package of bottled water on the idea that if our plumbing broke or something it might take longer than normal to get it fixed... I dont think were really in danger of the whole water system going down

The company that makes the trains for commuting in San Francisco is arguing they need to stay open because they are making the trains they'll be using in six months. ...Not repairing the current ones or anything mind you, just that they're making new trains.

Somehow they've still managed to stay open.

Ulti apparently banned me from his topic for pointing out that he isn't a neurologist, but please don't listen to his made up advice on this disease. Chances are nobody is taking him seriously because he's a giant manbaby, but just in case. Coronavirus can and will kill you.

Also I guess I am Ulti's stepdad now because he copied my lockdown warning from a few days ago pretty much word for word. No new info on that front, but I will let you guys know as soon as feasibly possible as soon as I hear more. Again, please don't get your news from Ulti.

I mean, it's ridiculous but I don't blame anyone for trying to keep businesses open. It's extremely scary and not many companies know how or if they'll survive this. The fact nothing is in place for businesses yet is absolutely absurd.

And having gone to the grocery store, its like, theres no way everyone there doesnt have it. Coughing sneezing, being aggressive trying to get groceries, people feeling every single item, face touching, etc.

Gamespot is still open

Nioh 2
Animal Crossing
Doom Eternal
Persona 5 R
Resident Evil 3
Final Fantasy VII

All releasing within the next 3 weeks or have been released(nioh 2)

Had this outbreak taken place 2 months ago here they would have shut down for a couple of months with no hesitation

Too many massive games coming out for them to ignore and they know they will lose a SHIT TON of money

Imagine those games coming out and Gamestop is closed....ti effects publishers too. They;ll lose a ton of sales.

All businesses that are closing are losing money. Gamestop is being incredibly selfish and are clearly not "essential" as defined by any of these lockdown orders.

According to some sources, even if you survive you can have permanent damage.

Well to be fair they say you can recover by doing cardio training so I think it's probably too soon to be sure if that's 'permanent damage' given that many people who recover from things that require hospitalization would experience similar things after being discharged and would gradually recover with time

That being said maybe they won't recover time will tell like not trying to downplay it but yeah I'm not sure that article isn't saying anything that's not 'duh' for anyone who has been hospitalized for a sickness or knew someone who was at the moment.
