| Mar 31, 2020 at 3:21 | comment | added | Billy left SE for Codidact | Remember this feeling of helplessness, if you survive this crisis. Remember being unsure if you could defend yourself in your own home. And when this is over, talk to your lawmakers and elected representatives about making it easier for law abiding citizens like yourself to responsibly own firearms. If your land today called Chicago is still called that after this crisis is over, speak at city council and at your state legislature about what Illinois' heightened restrictions on access to defensive weapons meant to you in these troubled times. And good luck and god bless! | |
| Mar 26, 2020 at 3:29 | comment | added | phoog | @Studoku-ReinstateMonica probably because your question was essentially "how can I flee," whereas this one is "should I flee," and the answer is no. | |
| Mar 26, 2020 at 3:18 | comment | added | phoog | @eps your argument strengthens Mark's position, because in fact there was a good deal of civil unrest over civil rights abuses in the 1960's. | |

| Mar 24, 2020 at 15:56 | comment | added | eps | @Mark that's a really terrible argument. That would be like saying in 2013 that ferguson missouri would never have any unrest over civil rights abuses because it didn't happen in the 60s. Things change. What happened a century ago has no predictive power for what might happen today. | |
| Mar 24, 2020 at 13:10 | comment | added | fernandopcg | Many spaniards did this hours before the lockdown and it helped to greatly spread the virus, so I'd suggest anyone to just stay at their home and wait until this is gone | |
| Mar 24, 2020 at 1:10 | comment | added | Mark | In regards to looting/violence, I recommend looking at how your area handled the 1918 flu pandemic. If there wasn't looting and violence then, there probably won't be now. | |

| Mar 23, 2020 at 8:28 | comment | added | Stian | A factor in your determination would be the availability of health services where you are going. I would think that going from the city to rural would make outcomes more extreme (i.e. if you end up needing care, it'll be much worse - but if you end up NOT needing care, it'll be easier). Any city health care system is likely to be less overwhelmed than a rural one - given the same rate of infection. (rural health care is usually underdimensioned and city health care centers will be first in line for federal / military aid) | |

| Mar 22, 2020 at 22:35 | comment | added | njzk2 | @wearebob thank you for taking the situation seriously and taking the time to gather information and educate yourself before taking that kind of decision! I'm glad to hear that you'll be staying in town to help limit the spread of the virus! | |
| Mar 22, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | wearebob | @Benjamin there aren't any reports of violence right now, the fact that things are changing so fast has me worries though. A week ago people were still deciding if they should go into the gym or not (for example), and within a few days there's a shelter in place order. So probably an overreaction to expect violence right now, but it's still a balancing act between being alarmist and being prepared. | |

| Mar 22, 2020 at 12:46 | comment | added | Benjamin Gruenbaum | "Avoid possible looting/rioting/violence" - sorry but is this a real concern in the US? Here (Israel) covid is bad, and it's also really bad all around the world - as far as I know no looting is occuring and people are showing solidarity and strength. Is the US vibe different? | |

| Mar 22, 2020 at 2:56 | comment | added | Quora Feans | Your age, and the age of the rest of the family might be relevant here. The number of family members that will be together is important too. Also, what access would you have to health care if you stay where you are? All these are risk factors. | |
| Mar 22, 2020 at 2:25 | comment | added | alephzero | A further consideration is that you are unlikely to be the only person to come up with this plan. There have been news reports in the UK today of three separate "isolated" areas seeing a large influx of "vistors," and creating new potential hotspots for transmission. | |

| Mar 21, 2020 at 16:32 | comment | added | Traveller | With a new, albeit light, cough as a symptom, in the UK at least the instruction is for the entire household to self-isolate at home for 14 days. So no travel to your relatives until you’re sure you’re not taking an unwelcome guest along with you. | |
