So far, the best [SIZE=5]FAKE OR EXAGGERATED COVID-19 NEWS[/SIZE] I've seen, this one from The Babylon Bee. However, the premise that decreased airport traffic would have a negative impact on CNN ratings intrigues me; I've always wondered why all those airport TVs were constantly on CNN...

For those of you into Conspiracy Stories, the article has a wonderful TV Ratings Political Twist, but in deference to the site, I didn't include them. If you want a good laugh, you can read it here: [[SIZE=4]CNN's Ratings Collapse As Coronavirus Fears Empty American Airports[/SIZE]]('https://babylonbee.com/news/cnns-ratings-collapse-to-zero-as-coronavirus-fears-empty-american-airports')

***CNN's Ratings Collapse As Coronavirus Fears Empty American Airports
March 13th, 2020***

U.S.—CNN's ratings have somehow tanked even worse than they previously had as Americans began to quarantine themselves and stopped taking commercial flights, emptying American airports and robbing the cable channel of its captive audience.

While CNN is usually able to claim millions of captive viewers every day, their audience dropped to almost nothing overnight. With airports completely devoid of weary travelers with dead smartphones and nothing to look at but CNN, the core of the channel's audience has disappeared overnight.

Screens at airports across the country continued to play CNN to empty airports, creating a spooky, dystopian atmosphere as hosts ranted to no one in particular.

In CNN's agreement with the airports is a clause that when a major air disaster happens, it get's scrubbed from their airport feeds.

Well i can say this, I am on "Social isolation" as of yesterday. I'm not staying in my house exclusively but i will stay in my yard ,in my shop and away from other folks. Canceled my hotel reservations and my Tuna bash. I have a family member who's a Doctor at a big hospital keeping me in the loop. As I am in that 80 year old group with bronchitis i think that's the best thing for me. Not that i'm afraid of dying it's just i don't want to die from something so easy for me to prevent.

Some economists say Italy’s early outbreak could prove that taking a short-term hit to business is worth the cost to stem the human and financial carnage. “Italy is a precursor of what will happen in the U.S. and in Europe because of the speed at which the virus spread,” says Nathalie Tocci, director of the International Affairs Institute in Rome. “Germany is on the same trend as Italy, but two weeks behind.”

That fear has led to a sudden boom in grocery delivery services. The day after Conte announced the national lockdown, Rome supermarket entrances were jammed with bicycle couriers, mostly immigrants from Africa and South America, jostling for orders.*** By then Milan had settled into a home-delivery routine that has left residents waiting more than a week for a slot to get groceries.

Just got a notice they closed down our Harborfields school district all next week. Didn’t say why specifically just out of an abundance of caution.
this is all so F’d up

No reported cases in my school district. Closing to clean and sanitize all the schools. Think this is a very good idea.
