    ones. Martial Law is coming...

    Washington, California and New York first... I hear that the military is on
    the way to those locals.. two Navy Hospital ships going East and West, to Southern California and New York area...

    They will have to watch other locations and [IMO] will push military enforcement to the areas that need it/have civil disobediance...

    I do feel that we, as a nation, ALL need to heed to warnings and get involved in the social distancing... but am worried that a lot of Americans are dumb
    as rocks, and won't listen.

    Time will tell.... we're all in this together, and a hereeeeee weeee gooooo.

    No doubt at all, in my mind!

    The only question to me is if they will go full blown matial law or if it
    will be a lighter version to see what control they can have without full blown...

    Every state in Australia has shut their borders with police from each state preventing anyone entering that isn't essential. I'm hearing similar rumours about the same happening on a state-by-state level in the US with either state troopers/local sherrifs or even national guard manning the state lines.

    As far as full blown martial law goes, i think that would only be as a last resort in the even of full societal breakdown, which at the moment seems only possibly if food and essentials supply lines get cut.

    Hopefully it doesn't come to this, and it shouldn't if all levels of govt can work together.

    Yeah. I think it's inevitable :( but we have to protect our first responders. Capitalism isn't able to do that in this situation, so we need to rely on our troops, who are able to stockpile aid resources, hasty tents and hospital (cots) beds, etc.

    I'm really surprised we waited til now.

    Hmm not entirely, as the "Leader" of the free world so to speak, I think you're
    kind of locked in to some limitations or people get antsy about it pretty quick, and start comparing stupid things like china or russia and the usa.

    Still now that its in motion, I don't expect to many half measures.. they should get right to business.

    cut.

    Or it just gets beyond the capabilities of the local enforcement. A lack of food and essentials will be a contributing factor....

    Haven't heard anything about that around here... I'm in Tennessee and close
    to the Mississippi river, so Arkansas is 'close' as the crow flies, and Missiouri and Kentucky are less than an hour away...

    I hope we don't come to that... Martial Law could CAUSE civil unreset,
    but maybe they won't do that...

    Where is local to you? And is it true?

    Yeah, my wife's family is local to the Missouri Ozarks and while it seems like things aren't taking off too bad there at the moment, I'me getting worried about what's happening in New Orleans and how many people might have gone down ther for Mardi Gras and may have brought it back into the regional communities.
    i was listening to Steve bannon's WarRoom podcast and he seems to be quite worried about the regions along the upper Mississippi. I really hope he's wrong
    about it, but he's been pretty much on point since this first started

    Yeah - I think it will get worse before it gets better...

    I had a buddy that went to Mardi Gras area early - not sure when, but it
    was JUST as things were starting to shut down, so they came back early...
