Americans are starting to panic-buy guns with sales rocketing across the country and shoppers lining up around the block outside hunting shops amid coronavirus fears. California, Nevada, New York and Washington - the states hardest hit by the deadly bug - all saw a massive surge in gun sales. Some buyers sought to 'protect their families' from looters should food and supplies run out due to coronavirus panic. Others feared that the government's emergency powers could restrict their right to buy a gun while some Asian-Americans bought weapons to protect themselves from potential racist attacks.
The world's major airlines are bracing for impact amid the coronavirus outbreak, with United, Delta and Virgin drastically slashing their flight schedule, taking other cost-cutting measures, and storing their large aircraft which will be out of use. The airlines have requested a bailout package from the government, ranging between $45 billion to $65 billion. It comes as industry group, Airlines for America, has estimated that the nation's seven largest airlines will run out of money completely between June and the end of the year. Many of the airlines' wide-body passenger planes will be put into storage while demand is low. The aircraft, which include A330, A350, 767 and 777s, will be stored at Marana in Arizona, and Birmingham, Alabama. Earlier today, United CEO Oscar Munoz and President Scott Kirby sent a letter to the airline's 100,000 employees, which was made public on Sunday, announcing that flight routes will be slashed 50 per cent in April in May.
Hundreds of college spring breakers have defied orders from police to stop partying on the beach after a stretch of Florida's South Beach was closed due to coronavirus fears. Instead of returning home when the famed party strip was closed on Saturday afternoon many students continued the week of celebrations further down the coast on other parts of the beach. The most popular parts of the beach closed to the public from 4.30pm Saturday and are set to remain shut until March 19 with Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber declaring that spring break in Miami Beach is 'over' after a state of emergency was declared Thursday. #facepalm

A violent fight broke out inside an Iowa Walmart on Thursday involving four women, including the heavily pregnant daughter of boxer Antwun Echols. Cellphone video recorded inside the Davenport Walmart captured the altercation, which began as a verbal argument between three acquaintances, but quickly escalated to a physical confrontation. According to the person who recorded the video, the initial dispute was over hand sanitizing products, which have become scarce in the wake of the global coronavirus pandemic. #facepalm

President Donald Trump on Monday released a series of coronavirus guidelines to slow the spread that calls for a lockdown of America, including the closing of restaurants and schools. 'Each and every one of us has a critical role to play in stopping the spread,' the president said in the White House briefing room. And while his guidelines will be revisited after the initial 15 day proposal, the president warned the virus could affect American life well into the summer. 'People are talking about July, August, something like that,' Trump said. 'They could be right in that period of time where it washes through.'

Residents in six San Francisco Bay Area counties will be confined to their homes for the next three weeks under a new shelter-in-place order aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus. The mandate, which goes into effect Tuesday and will affect nearly 7 million people, orders residents to avoid unnecessary travel and only leave their homes for food, medicine and exercise, according to county officials who made the announcement. It affects the counties of San Francisco, Marin, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa, as well as the city of Berkeley. San Francisco Mayor London Breed criticized what she called a "terrible response" by federal officials. "We must move aggressively and immediately," said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, whose city is the epicenter of Bay Area outbreak. "History will not forgive us for waiting an hour more."
