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
