Indeed. Beyond stupid. As usual, the ones at the top knew ahead of time and did their shopping early on. But of course, no one can keep a secret and everyone knows someone, so by 3-4pm word is quickly spreading so that even before any "surprise" evening (why always the evening?) official announcement is made, everyone is out in huge lineups in markets with zero distancing panic buying, driving like maniacs and so forth. Guaranteed you'd see a real-time spike in cases BECAUSE of this. You'd think they'd have learned something from watching all the different approaches all over the world over the course of s year but no... Let's take the most reckless approach ever! Off the top of my head, I can think of like five better ways of going about it, but I'd have to actually sit down and think about it to come up with a worse plan. You have to wonder who/how they come up with these gems.
