Then, because demand for hamburger goes up, so does the price of hamburger. But the price of filet mignon goes down. In the meantime, the price of potatoes, rice etc increase as people buy smaller cuts of meat/protein and increase the portion of cheap carbs. (Giffen goods theory.)
So hope it works better then the local grocery stores around here. I swear no one looks down at the arrows. The aisles are still mobbed with people going back and forth."Publix announced Thursday that the aisles in its grocery stores will become one-way to keep customers further apart amid the coronavirus outbreak."
“To help with customer traffic flow, we have added directional markings, companywide, to our aisles. This will allow customers and associates to better distance themselves while on the aisles,” a statement from Publix said.

They’re doing that here and nobody cares...in my very limited exposure so far
Granted, it wasn't very busy while I was there, but Stop & Shop seemed to be doing well with it, and people seemed to be hyper aware of spacing between them. (Which is odd considering what I've previously said about the town's biggest FB group and people saying they won't wear masks, etc...it's basically the opposite. But our town covers tons of land and is very spread out, with multiple different sources for groceries.)
I think the key question for the UK would be what degree of price gouging is likely to be present in any presentation of a U.S. developed vaccine. ( But I don't actually believe the U.S. will bring the first effective drug to the market.) If the U.S. drugs companies are looking for their normal rate of return on a new drug to the international market, we will just wait for India or China to produce a cheap copy and then fight any copyright case in International Courts over the next five years
Very sorry to hear that. Thank goodness she's very healthy. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
If I'm at the end of a one way aisle and forgot something at the other end of the aisle, I might get the evil eye if I go the wrong way."Publix announced Thursday that the aisles in its grocery stores will become one-way to keep customers further apart amid the coronavirus outbreak."

Mine would. And we'd be very grateful.
Challenge with the LTC residents is they do not get “social distancing”. Many also need assistance with eating and not enough staff to feed individually in rooms. Mine are being socially distanced in the dining rooms so staff can assist residents easier with just those that need assist eating (and all staff wearing masks). But isolating residents is a challenge, and it’s not even being attempted in the locked memory care units. Our NH have been locked down with restricted visitors for three weeks already and staff screening. Knock wood we’ve had many tested and no positives and it stays that way!
I dread to think about the task facing care workers in these units. My mother spent her last 18 months in one and residents with various compulsions were wandering around touching every surface and each other; staff were having to deal with personal toilet care for each resident multiple times each day and washing, dressing and undressing them, in some cases feeding them. My mother would never have understood the need for a mask, or for staff to be masked. Ironically, her acceptance of her confinement (for her own safety) and the personal care she had to receive was that in her latter months, we persuaded her that she was on a cruise and so couldn't leave the ship and the care workers were cruise staff catering to her every need. The people who work in these care units are very dedicated.
I am wishing her a speedy recovery.
Thats what I was wondering. Wouldn’t this make a second wave less likely?
They are - and it sounds like your mom got good care, working with her for her safety too! it’s a hard thing for families to witness.
The problem is that the model estimate for herd immunity is in excess of 60% of the population, so you would need in excess of 180 million people in the U.S. to have experienced the virus and survived. Plus you are assuming that being infected and either having no, or limited, symptoms protects you from any future wave of infection, which is not yet proved.
