Sorry not my mother tongue!
Of course you are right! 
California should be excluded as the bright sunshine will kill the bug there.
They need it more in dull damp Washington.

Or there, but there is no virus.
Those are all immune!
I was not translating, sorry, should I have done this.
A lot of leisure time to do this now!
“image translator”
What nice translating tools you have. 
None are immune but yes those remote isolated communities won’t get it til after the Vaccine is made. UK for example would be some of the smaller islands, crofters, etc.
It will probably be most US residents, not just citizens, as it will based on tax returns.
I am a US citizen, and I have no problem with that. It’s basically a $1000 tax refund.
I would take the 1000 dollar refund but right now I am hoping my grocery store has food in the next 2 hours

Whats the difference now?
Citizens or residents?
Enlighten an old man, not using English as mother tongue, but still learning
Dont panic!
What I still dont understand all are greedy for toilet paper?
Weird? Panic?
If there is no more, or less input, no more or less output…heheh!
Non-Resident Alien is people with a visa (student, etc) and is time-limited, is taxed while working in US.
Resident Alien aka Permanent Resident aka “Green Card” and is from approval til leave the country, is taxed while working in US.
Citizen is for rest of life, is taxed even if not physically in USA.
As very few people actually ill, the production and distribution (supply) is not yet disrupted, but hoarding can outstrip supply chains so any lack of goods in shops is due to people taking more than they need.
Supply will be disrupted at the peak as people like drivers are ill, but that’s just prioritisation of critical items like food and medical goods given priority over less essential things… so a decent society won’t have a real problem.

That helps me to understand.
The dictionary doesn’t te!l those facts of course.
Thank you.

Problem is they are breaking the supply-demand cycle and most get either more than they need or less than needed for survival before it’s all over 
I assume most countries workout a tax break this year 
For this pandemic, any problems today are entire man-made in the pre-peak countries (e.g. USA). Selfishness, greed, stupidity, fear.
The virus though will make many of us ill for 2-3 weeks, on average, about 8-12 weeks from now, so it will become real but even then… it’s like 20% bad at its worst.
Make sure people remember this time accurately.
Nature has far more real significant impacts on us, we’re over-due a large Meteor impact for example.

agree… essentials such as Grocery, medicine is more important than money, we had a pretty bad scene here in bay area yesterday… not been out today.
Since we are Americans, it would be checks. But we’ll see what happens. Can’t spend it anywhere anyway.

I was at Costco today buying a few things. It was surprisingly not crowded, but then I guess it was expected since they had no water, TP, paper towels, Clorox wipes, eggs, etc.
Anyway, one guy walked by with 8 boxes of 8TB Seagate external hard drives. Of all things, he’s hoarding 64TB of external storage???
.
Ok, maybe not hoarding. They’re having sale right now. USD $129. But it sure reminded me of all the hoarding pics. Should’ve taken a pic.

Maybe he’s afraid his computer is going to get the virus, so he’s backing up his data! Ha ha!! Sorry for the dad joke. I’ve started posting them online since my kids are about ready to gang up on me for all the bad jokes I keep telling them!

Why did the Chicken cross the road? He saw something to do as it made him feel in control.
Doesn’t feel funny to me.
