We are the only animal ophthalmology clinic in the Seattle area and we are booked six months in advance for appointments. We treat a wide variety of animals and our doctor goes and does work at the zoo and other wildlife establishments.

So your point is that young people are bringing their animal into a clinic is evidence that they are not concerned about the virus? OK.
Meanwhile a cruise ship with 3800 passengers disembarked in Miami with no screening even though a previous passenger tested positive

More than 3,800 passengers on a cruise ship disembarked in Miami without screening for COVID-19, despite a previous traveler testing positive days earlier
"If we have it, it's going to spread throughout the country," one passenger told the Miami Herald on Sunday.

Before the colleges closed down, the local news featured some real genius students who weren't afraid because they were "immune" to the virus.

I'm assuming Seattle will get told tonight or in the morning that the bars and such need to shut down. Im really starting to wonder if I'm going to be stuck at home not able to work in the next week. Bye bye money I saved for a week long Disney trip in September. I just hope we can all bounce back from all of this and be stronger. If you are able to help those who might not be able to go out please do so. We are all in this together!

Dang I have a smaller concert on May 19th I was hoping to attend. The 19th is technically past the 8 week window, but I guess we'll wait and see. It's a small band at a small venue, so it's nothing like Coachella getting cancelled and the band has claimed they still plan on doing their US tour since it doesn't start for a bit, but I am just waiting to get an email saying the event has been cancelled / moved to a later date. If the concert was right now there's no way I would be arguing that I want to go, but I am hoping that since it is over 2 months away that we would have less restrictions by then but I'm not holding my breath because I know this could potentially take a long time.

Well that was quick.
Yes, it looks like Disneyland won't be open for several months.
Thank God that President Trump banned travel from China six weeks ago, or this outbreak would have been many times worse and more widespread by now in the USA. If we hadn't banned travel from China, California would be like Italy is today, with over 1,800 people dead already in Italy. Hundreds more dead reported in France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc. Instead, California has only had six deaths so far, thank goodness.
I only hope the travel ban from Europe last week wasn't too late. Although I question why we still have an open border with Canada, especially since the Canadians have not yet banned travel from China or Europe. But I imagine we'll close the border with Canada sometime later this week.
But the CDC announcement tonight doesn't seem to allow Disneyland or WDW to open until the middle of May at the earliest. I had figured last week that the two week statement from Disney was bunk, but I didn't want to stir panic last week and mention that. The cat is out of the bag now, and Disneyland will likely be closed for months.

Our governor (OR) is making her decision/announcement tomorrow about restaurants. Tomorrow is likely the last time I’ll be going into the office for months. : o
Well, there goes Downtown Disney. Governor Newsom closed all bars in California today too, so I assume Uva Bar can't operate, nor can the bars at Naples, Catal, etc. I guess you could order a cocktail delivered to your table still, but I'm sure Downtown Disney will be closed entirely by the end of this week.
I bet they'll still have CM's in the toll booths charging for parking, though.

I don't understand the restaurant thing. But then I don't understand the bath tissue stampedes either, so maybe closing restaurants is the State Governor version of running down the aisle at Target to get the last 12 pack of Charmin?
Restaurants are already some of the cleanest places in society, at least in this country where we have such high standards for cleanliness and heavy government oversight of restaurants in general.
I guess I could understand closing bars, because you are literally shoulder to shoulder at the bar. And table seating in bars and clubs is spaced closer and tighter than it is in restaurants, especially if the floor show is good that night.
But closing your average Wendy's or Applebee's or Morton's Steakhouse or mom n' pop pizza parlor? That makes no sense to me, at least from what we understand of this virus so far and how it effects people. And it's a decision that would seem to only make the panic at supermarkets worse, since food choices were just restricted further.

Omg, I just realized that my kids are likely going to be out of school till summer. How the heck is this going to work!?
And as for restaurants, If they were closing the delivery and drive through options too, I could see them not wanting potentially sick people preparing food for potentially hundreds of people a day, but if drive through and delivery is still an option, they’ll be doing that anyway.

Don't recall seeing this posted elsewhere but just a little bit ago along with ordering the closure of bars, gyms, nightclubs, and such Mayor Garcetti also announced a moratorium on evictions for renters, telling Angelenos that they won’t lose their housing during the crisis “because you can’t make the rent,” and that he has asked the city attorney to look into whether the city can stop commercial evictions.

It's not sick food prep employees. It is the customers gathering together. Folks, I think we're going to have to get ready for regions of the USA going full New Rochelle.

Honest question: How do governments have the power to force private businesses to close? I have a degree in political science and even I don’t understand that. Not arguing the response to the virus at all just genuinely curious if anyone knows the answer.
