Matt Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Arizona is doing fuckall about it. Governor won't issue shelter in place and is preventing individual cities from doing so. But all sorts of random shit is closed. Like the boat launches at my favorite nearby lake. Golf courses and salons are supposedly essential services. 🥴 Edited March 30, 2020 by Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city of Detroit and Wayne County is lower income and big portion of the population in Detroit has underlying medical issues. Oakland County is affluent and I would think generally more healthy so not sure the issue there.

Advertising Member Seatofmypants Posted March 30, 2020 Advertising Member Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Maryland has a nursing home with 66 of 104 infected. That thing is going to run through nursing homes. I believe 3 dead already in that specific home. MD just went to shelter in place. PA (where I live) is slowly starting to go shelter in place. I work in MD at an essential business so I get to keep grinding. Edited March 30, 2020 by Seatofmypants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those conditions are forever and not cured. Any population center is going to be at a higher risk. More people touching the same surfaces day in and day out.

I was wondering about this and though it may have a lot to do with the auto industry, the amount of overseas travel is pretty significant for a relatively dense area. And I’m sure the unhealthy population certainly contributes. Edited March 30, 2020 by Doos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local meat market was full of those fucking assholes this weekend..They need to put up a wall We have about 51,000 full time residents in our county, on any given weekend in the summer that can nearly double, the amount of taxes we get from these part time residents really helps out our tax base, a double edge sword as they say.

Oh yes, The taxes they pay on their lake houses and the money they spend on everything else here definitely helps our local economy, but spot on with the double edge sword reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 30, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 30, 2020 I'd say states with under 500 cases are doing pretty well. There are 24 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres all kinds of automotive around here as I’m sure you know. Apart from the big 3, there are quite a few other manufactures with a decent work force. VW, Audi, etc etc have thousands alone. Then you have hundreds of tier 1, 2, and 3 suppliers. They’re all back and forth to Asia and Europe frequently, stuck in airports and planes full of sick people. Hell I was just in Toronto stuck in meetings for 3 days with guys that just got back from China and Italy. Easy to see how it spreads so quickly.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 30, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Business or tourism hubs with worldwide travelers will be hot spots. No way to avoid that even as early as travel was limited. Chinese love Hawaii. Bit surprised it hasn't been hit harder. They also love Vegas. Only time I was there was around the Chinese new year and the Bellagio was packed with them. Edited March 30, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
