Universal is closed, Disney is closed, SCHOOLS are closed all over the place, and bars/restaurants in 5 states (Ohio, California, Illinois, Washington, and Massachusetts) are also closed. The NCAA basketball tournament was cancelled. NASA just closed the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and cancelled a bunch of future events, including Yuri's Night. The CDC recommends cancelling any event that would draw 50 or more people. And the list keeps growing...
So, yeah, it's well past the time to start taking things seriously. Right now the US infection rate is mirroring that of Italy - just delayed by about 11 days. That fact alone should give anyone serious pause.
People are dying of this disease, and there will be plenty more deaths in the weeks to come. In light of that, jokes about price gouging are definitely in poor taste.
