Do you ya'll think people will remain civil?

[Cparck]

I think everyone who is reasonably prepared and level headed will remain civil. The problem is those who are not prepared and have nothing to loose. The drug addicted, the homeless, the unprepared morons always become hungry and desperate in times of crisis. And then there are always the violent criminals trying to capitalize on things.

And I think I read that the jails are letting prisoners go to reduce the chance of the virus spreading. I am not sure I am ok with this.

I heard about a twenty something year old in Orange county who is sick with flu like symptoms. He is still going out in public and when someone called him on it his response was. He doesn't care and he will continue to go where ever he wants. They pointed out he may spread it to an older person maybe someones parents or grand parents. He said he doesn't give a crap it is their problem not his... By the way he is unemployed so he has no reason to go out in public.

This is a big part of the problem we are facing people who have no responsibility or concern for other people...

This has been a problem ever since the democrats declared war on poverty and established the welfare state and then the nanny state.

People will mostly remain civil as long as any businesses that have food for sale remains open. Once street people have no businesses to steal food from, they'll target us.

When people become desperate, nope.

We’re a poor, rural, service and agriculture county - supported by welfare. Everything still functions just fine, and the govt tells people to not go to work and to expect a large amount of free money shortly.

People be breeding like rabbits for the next few months!!!

People will be civil. Now that the marauding hordes of high school students have to stay home, the devastation they've done to upright porta-johns will come to a halt. Now begins the long cabin fever Spring, and incivility inside the home.

What worries me most of all is how people will react if the younger crowd and older self indulged crowd does not adhere to our governments suggestions, and our government tightens the belt on all of us. At this point, we've all been given a chance. Some of you might find it draconian, un-lawful, etc, but some of us see it as a necessity to slow this virus down to levels that our system can handle.

I'm on the fence as to whether this is a OMG pandemic, or an overblown fart in the wind. With our social media world, it's truly hard to decipher between what is real or fake news.

I'm on the fence whether people will blow a gasket and go all out anarchy if or when the government tightens its belt; if that occurs.

Yes, then no.

This is an interesting thought. The homeless have a variety of "bread" lines where they get at least some of their meals. Churches, etc. are involved with that a lot. Are those going to be operational? And what if they aren't?

The problem is that the homeless are not able to shelter in place. They have no assets, they have no stores of food, clean water, sanitation facilities. They MUST be out and about and get what services they get in group situations.

It is my opinion that the California lock down being driven by the LARGE HOMELESS POPULATION and the extreme likelihood that they will ALL get and carry the virus. The democrats in Sacramento KNOW that all the homeless people they invited and encouraged to come to California are a huge risk to the population in the state.

From what I've seen on the news, they're still offering food curb side to the public. Servers had gloves/ masks on.

IMO, the civility will be short lived. In the beginning it might be fun having the kids and mom and/or dad at home. Kind of like summer vacation but instead of taking a family trip they will all be locked down together. Add to that the loss of income in some cases and how long do you think it will be before the domestic dispute calls start coming in at the local police station?
I can remember having a wife and young children and on some weekends I couldn't wait for Monday morning. Also, over half of the arguments my wife and I had were about money.
So yeah, I give it about a week.
