I heard they shut down Burbon St in NO. Miami and Ft Lauderdale beaches also closed. I assume all Florida beaches will be shut down eventually.
Does anybody know if/when we're going to see more widespread restaurant closings? I know it's starting to happen here and there, but it hasn't happened up here and I'm wondering if it'll happen down in Georgia.
A couple have up here. Lots have closed dining rooms and are doing pick up, drive-thru, and delivery only.
All restaurants and bars shut down at 9pm here last night until further notice. Take out only here in Ohio now. 1 confirmed case here in the county I'm in so far.
My company sells medical supplies so you can imagine that we've been a bit busy, and no we haven't jacked our prices up. Our biggest problem is the manufactures seemed to be overwhelmed and product that was suppose to have been delivered isn't showing up. Mask are the item that are in biggest demand and we've pretty much sold out. Hand sanitizer is the next item, surprisingly haven't had a run on gloves and we have a good stock of it hand. Have a lot of friends in the medical field and there's a real concern about being overwhelmed by people that don't need medical attention. People please be smart and stay in as much as possible, it just ain't worth it. Want to see ya'll next fall at Sanford!
Here in indiana, we went from 5 to 50 cases very quickly. It can be attributed to 2 things. No hospitals in the area, other than a couple here locally in Indianapolis, had tests to check for infection. The second was people just weren't taking it very seriously. Since Friday, we went from cautious optimism to sheltering in place. It's crazy how fast it turned. Work from home has been approved indefinitely, which is nice. Hanging out with my family, keeping the kids healthy, but necessities like baby formula, bread, and milk are scarce. Thank goodness we stocked up on Thursday. Even still, we will be low by weeks end, and its hard to tell when they will be replenished. We are in good spirits though. Lots of forts built, disney+ is going nonstop, and we are doing every science experiment you can find on the internet. Enjoying an unusually large amount of family time together.
that's pretty awesome to hear with the family fun. My wife and I both work jobs considered mission essential, i.e. have to come in to work no matter what is happening in the world. My kids are enjoying the no adult supervision but it would be nice to be able to do the things you are doing with your kids.
Building forts. Man, those were the days.
Now we know why there is no TP left......
....jk!
All is well here in Madison County. I've been kicked out of my office for a couple of weeks. My 17 year old son fell asleep on the sofa in the same room I work from home and he was not happy when I turned my desk lamp on at 8:30 this morning. At least I can keep him on a decent schedule while he's out of school. His biology teacher was working sending out work for them to do this week so he won't be able to be too lazy for the next couple of weeks.
I started buying a couple of extra things at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago in case this happened so at least I'm in good shape as far as groceries are concerned.
It's nice to revisit this skill i forgot I had.
Do y’all know if Dawgnation Daily will still happen this week? I’m going to cry if that’s been taken away too...
Doin well here in the Capitol. Shut down a couple school districts over a case where a 4th grader and his parents had it, but his older siblings didnt.
County meetings shut down through mid May.
My work has gone mobile, trying to limit the bodies In the office.
Still, the grocery stores are wiped out of can goods, cleaning stuff, and tp.
The liquor section is well stocked at this time.
Were good. Blizzy and Bella are good, too.
DND is live as we speak
The mods closed the original thread!? Lame. Really lame.
Alright folks, I've gotten to see this up close and personal now. Confirmed case, middle age, absolutely no prior medical history and co-morbidities. Very critically ill. Didn't travel but their occupation put them in contact with many people.
It's not a joke. Avoid the crowds, wash your hands frequently and thoroughly.
Thanks for the Thread Kasey. We are doing well here in SW Kentucky. We have kinda stayed in more than usual, as we are both in our 70's.
Next few weeks are gonna be critical for dealing with COVID-19 spread. I know it sucks, but these drastic measures are necessary to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed.
Definitely not good that the case numbers are still climbing but isn't it a positive sign that our numbers are about the same as Italy given the fact that we have about 5X as many people?
Honestly not sure. I would say raw numbers are more important at the beginning rather than percentages.
Edit: also lots of other things like population density will affect this. Right now we're seeing population centers getting hammered, but rural areas in Georgia are beginning to see community transmission.
Thank goodness!!!!
