Governor was on TV yesterday and said Arkansas now has 6 "presumptive" cases of the virus which I think means one confirmed case and 5 persons exposed to that person, but have not yet been tested. I read that about running the races, but no spectators and had a similar reaction. How can they run the races, but make no money off them? I guess I was forgetting about the account deposit wagering which will still be coming in and might even be more than usual with more and more people isolating at home. Maybe they figure those people playing the slots will be so intent on feeding their money into the machines, they won't even notice whether they have the virus or not.
Panic buying has hit here too. Sister-in-law called yesterday and said she went to Wal-Mart Super store to get some stuff, but all toilet paper, hand sanitizer etc. was gone. I guess I went during the quiet before the Corona Storm.
