Still no idea how this is different than the current situation. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:17 14
- For our purposes, it shuts down additional non-essential business and, in theory, adds enforcement -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:27
- One more question out of you, bub, and you go into the lockbox. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 11:20
- I would hope they make it crystal clear but to me it means that I stay home. Right now I'm at work because there isn't a lockdown. -- nm - oblique Mar 20, 11:19 10
  - I wonder if this means restaurant pick up and delivery has to stop? -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:41 2
    - That would be something, as not even Italy is doing that -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:44
    - It did not in Cali and won't in NYC -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:42
  - This is probably the answer. People who are still working in the office have to stop going in. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:27
  - I am going to work even if there is a lockdown. I made the office closed to the public as of this past Monday. There are only two of us here in - Spawn Mar 20, 11:23 2
    - yeah, my office is moving to WFH Monday, but either I or my partner have to be physically here in the office for various reasons. We're switching -- (edited) - decline Mar 20, 11:31 1
      - I could see us switch off a few days for a break but there is just too much to do not to be here. - Spawn Mar 20, 11:33
  - This is what I'm hoping for Florda. MrsJax's employer won't stop making them go to work sans that order. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:20 2
    - *ding* -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 11:33
    - I gave my bosses 3 days to make that step...they didn't. So I left yesterday. If everyone's essential, no one's essential. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 11:22
- Because now they *really* mean it!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 11:18
It's truly remarkable that most states haven't done this already. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:13 21
- So that would make it California, New York, and Illinois. 3 Democratic Gov states, right? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:18 11
  - Depending on whether we're just quibbling over terminology here, PA probably counts, too, no? -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 11:29 6
    - Has PA ordered a state-wide lockdown? That's kind of what I'm asking - I thought only those 2 so far, then 3 including IL -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:33 5
      - From all accounts, Florida is operating almost normal? Some but not really great restrictions? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:43 2
        
        Yes -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:44 1
        
        I take it that everyone is assumed to be about to die soon anyway due to age, guns, or drugs -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:46
      - not as such, that I've seen, but all "non-life sustaining business" are required to close as of today. You're still allowed to leave the house if you need to, though. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 20, 11:38 1
        
        In my mind, I'm putting California and NY (an IL soon) into the same category Italy is. Currently, other states aren't "officially ordered" to close. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:41
  - didn't GA just announce? EDIT: i was wrong, just TX... -- nm* - colin Mar 20, 11:28 3
    - GA's entire state senate is in quarantine, so you would think they might. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 20, 11:29
    - and TX? -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:28 1
      - I don't think this is any different than a lot of other states (like FL) have now. Still no gatherings of 10 or more, food open, etc. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:34
- WV claimed they had zero cases until a day or two ago.. you really think they're going to lock down? -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:13 8
  - If they're smart, yes. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:14 7
    - Federalism. Not a suicide pact! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:22 3
      - Randomly, I just used the same phrase with Kim a moment ago. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:29 2
        
        brilliant minds -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:32 1
        
        Righteously furious is how I'd describe it. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:35
    - ah, we've found the key issue. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:14 1
      - Heh. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:15
    - So, no. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 11:14
yeah, heard that from 2 different sources. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 11:12
