National shelter in place due to the vinyl chloride spill in OH?

Another two weeks to flatten the curve? That's what some are people are saying needs to happen.
They are finding dead animals 100 miles away so far and allegedly a cloud of this stuff is heading East toward New York
I know nothing about the stuff but I am sure there are some guys that work at places like Westlake Polymer that can tell us about it. This was uncured polyvinyl chloride which is a very deadly and dangerous carcinogen. This stuff is going to destroy that OH town it happened in. Their water supply will never recover. Just wondering what the risk of it affecting the rest of the country really is.
The odd thing is the national news is very silent on it yet we all know Rhianna is pregnant again.
I imagine it's going to be a hard sell to get most Americans back to two weeks to flatten anything.

It's damn close to some of the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh.
Honestly I can't imagine how we've fricked this up so badly.

Our government no better than the fricking USSR in 86
Focus on your work, comrades.

You don't think a massive chemical spill of a deadly known carcinogen is a big deal?

So I’m confused because it sounded like it was vcm and not pvc. VCM is way worse.

The exposed PVC in Tiger Stadium was about as bad as it gets.

In those train tankers the it's not "poly" yet. It just vinyl chloride.
When it burns one of the by products is hydrochloric acid, HCL among all kinds of other dangerous stuff during incomplete combustion. Not good for the lungs.

Ok that makes more sense to me. Pvc is largely a solid.

I live about 300 miles east of the spill. Should I be concerned?

OK thanks for the clarification

Well, it makes sense that they set it on fire then. Acid rain sounds fun

Yes
But if you have cloth masks leftover from the pandemic use them.

Twitter is a bigger cesspool than the air in the surrounding area of the derailment.

Also byproduct is trace vcm I believe. We just ran a scenario last week.

It’s unfortunate that this post will not get the upvotes it deserves.
