Actually surprised it hasn't already happened, considering the speed of today's society.

Someone is going to get arrested trying to get into a hospital to see their loved one
The young woman with disabilities that died alone is heartbreaking

I have friends in Long Island that are due in May & he cannot go into delivery room if she goes into labor, they are hoping it changes before the baby comes


ETA
I think vigils / protests outside of hospitals

When money runs out, day or two of electricity/internet outage. I don’t think it will take much the longer this shite goes.

Let someone get stopped by the police for simply walking outside at nighttime past "curfew". The man is irated for getting stopped although he technically was not breaking any real law. Altercation happens, police unloads weapon.

All hell will break lose, and a lot of social distancing will go out the window. I hope it doesnt happen, but it is feasible imo.

Push the isolation orders back about 2 months and still only have 3-4 hotspots.

I don't know. And I don't know if it would be widespread.

But I can certainly see a scenario where cops come to shut down some business, people fight back, cops end up shooting someone, and riots ensue.

People have rioted for less.

When a large % of good, hard working people lose everything and the marxist filth in this country start to antagonize those people by openly celebrating their loss. Think about the French Revolution transposed to modern times. Progressive media members and academics, and politicians will probably rue the day that the rubicon was crossed. I pray that we never get to that point.

I can see some potential unrest happening if we get into an extended lockdown into the summer. Money starts to dry up and the Trump checks quit covering everything.

Your racist fantasy aside, government services becoming limited or unavailable could be a big problem. When enough “essential” government employees in snap, social security, Medicaid, etc get sick those agencies are going to have to shut down. If it keeps spreading and hits police, fire and medical workers....well yeah, it will get bad.

No electricity. No plumbing. Not saying it will get to that point, but just think how it is after a hurricane, being one of the affected. We have the comfort and knowledge that others will come to the rescue and help us out, so that keeps craziness to a minimum. Now expand that situation to the entire country. Everyone is in the same boat. That’s when the shite really hits the fan.
