D&D and the rising pandemic

I think the US needs another mandated country wide lockdown and mask law made official not unlike seatbelt law until this thing is under control. People won't like that kind of "control" but obviously Americans do not have the ability to protect themselves individually.

It's kind of an Anglo Saxon thing not just America. They're a bit more extreme perhaps.

Reddits been entertaining at least.

Level 3 lockdown. Similar to level 4 but you can get KFC.

To be clear, the US doesn't need "another", because we never had these in the first place.

Yes, that's right. To say another would be incorrect. But I've seen the videos; there are so many hundreds of thousands of anti-maskers, I don't even think law would help unless the fines were very strict.

Try to enforce something like that, scrupulously, and you'd likely have riots in the "Freedom or Death" States (mostly, but not all "fly-over" States).

It's more enforcement vs harshness of penalty IMHO.

6:57an, national alert reminder in cellphones. It's quite shrill lol. Been awake since 5:20.

Wear a mask she said. Went to Pharmacy at 8:33am, website said they opened at 8:30. Sold out already except for two double packs of N-95 at $10 a pack.

Big box retail pulled them from the shelf last night presumably for their staff.

I was able to by a box of 50 from my local pharmacy for people in my flat. Final box.

Currently waiting for the midday alert message stating lockdown is now in effect

What part of Auckland are you in?

I've got a grand total of 9 masks. Managed to find a few for sale but gave them to father in law.

I'm in Newmarket, so central. Hoping that the afflicted haven't spent time in the CBD recently but who knows.

Thought they'd do another alert to remind us that lockdown had started but I guess the morning wakeup was all they needed.
