Can confirm. Girlfriend just lost her job today due to impact of coronavirus and I doubt it'll be easy to find a new job during economy tanking pandemic. Our bills are now coming for me like the dude in this gif:
I'm already being sent home. Should be a done deal by the end of the week.
McDonald's is closing off the seating areas of it's company owned stores, and urging franchises to do the same.
A number of other fast food joints, like Taco Bell, Chick Fil A, Hardee's/Carls Jr., Jack in the Box, and Cook Out are doing the same thing.
McDonald's to shut seating, play areas amid COVID-19 pandemic
In the latest nod to how the coronavirus is disrupting Americans daily rituals ad patterns, McDonald's says that it is seating and play areas.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Eased my mind. Had a bunch of folks calling in and telling me what turned out to be nonsense.
Time to add Oregon to the list: Oregon orders restaurants, bars shut to all but takeout and delivery service to prevent spread of coronavirus
We're up to 47 cases out here: Coronavirus in Oregon: 8 new cases, most in single day, bring state tally to 47
Stay safe ya'll!

They just shut down San Fran and New York is saying all options are on the table.
Any major population city is probably headed for a similar situation. The grocery stores are overrun.
Well there it is. Was waiting for it. I guess my wife and I can cross our pre trying to get pregnant trip off our list. So be it if it's for the greater good!
Here in NJ my company is doing business hours as usual. Not sure I quite agree with that since we're a manufacturing company.
I think we've only had 12 cases so far? Not sure where we are on shut down and more strict measures.
ABC15 said we had 18 cases this afternoon. Haven't heard anything yet, but keeping my fingers crossed for good news.
Leaving my office right now (Santa Clara County in California). Just moved a bunch of stuff and prepped computers so we can securely work from home. Shelter-in-place starts at midnight.
The lame thing is that a lot of our clients have postponed projects as far back as a month ago as many of the work was related to game industry conventions, cyber security conventions, and educational locations. Money is gonna be tight :(
Never seen our parking lot so empty, either. We're practically in the middle of downtown.

I've been periodically checking traffic in the area and NEVER seen so much green during peak hours in the Bay Area... Too bad it wasn't normally like this, but considering the circumstance it sure makes it eerie :/
Yep, weird for so little traffic on a Monday of all days. A lot if the shops downtown were closed when I drove in, too. Giving my patronage to a sushi joint by my house before staying in for the next however many days.
San Francisco shutdown
11 Milwaukee County leaders issue order closing bars, restaurants except for carryout, delivery

I've been noticing that it's been getting colder.
I wonder if that's because of the reduction in CO2 emissions around here.
Shit, March is chilly!

I'm seeing so many people say they have inside sources citing a 2 week or possibly a whole month mandatory lockdown but it's all rumors at this point.
I don't know if a whole month lockdown is even possible and how that would work but 2 weeks seems plausible. If we do get lockdown I better get my paid leave. Would retail stores even do this? We'll see...
I work at Burlington and it was empty on the weekends. People still flocked over.
The hours are still the effing same though. You would think we would close earlier but nooooo.

Add Pennsylvania to the list
Why isn't it possible for NYC? The entirety of France is on lockdown. We got this.
Harris County (Houston) is doing this apparently I was told. I'm not listening to any news about it was only told on my way to work
Chicago is a ghost town. Feels eerie even walking the dog. Both the wife and I are working from home, but it's day 5 and the boredom is already setting in hard. Hopefully Animal Crossing being delivered Friday helps!
"Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds declares a Public Health Disaster Emergency. All restaurants and bars to be closed as of noon today. Carry-out only. Fitness centers, casinos, theaters also closed. Many gatherings of 10+ people prohibited."
Add Iowa to the list.

It's kind if annoying how slow Florida is reacting to this.
We got loads of people coming in for spring break now so if they do something its going to be a mess.

Those pictures of people on beaches in Florida... I wish you guys the best of luck.

“NEW: Effective immediately, @NewYorkStateAG & I are suspending state debt collection. NYers with student debt, medical debt & other state-referred debt will have payments frozen for at least 30 days. We're doing all we can to support those suffering financially due to #COVID19.”

Rent when?!
Tampa Florida is business as usual. Everything is open and busy. Beaches crowded. Traffic only a little less than normal mostly from closed schools. Same for other cities around here.
I need to collect unemployment so what's the news about that in NYC?
I'm really scared for Florida. Huge old population + tourism + completely irresponsible management of the situation...
Here in SoCal we're self-quarantining as a preventative measure, knowing we're already late and nobody here has forced us to do it yet. I can't imagine what it's like in states that aren't even shutting shit down right now.
North Carolina's press conference is going on right now. They're increasing testing and there are over 1,000 samples waiting to be processed, so I'd expect the number of positive cases reported here in NC to increase in the next few days.
Update:

2 p.m.: In addition to halting dine-in services at restaurants and bars statewide, Gov. Roy Cooper said an executive order that he signed Tuesday will make it easier for workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic to obtain unemployment benefits
So glad he's doing this, hopefully this will help.
Update:
Duke University Hospital has tents set up for potential coronavirus patients

Reports from family members down there is that no one cares, NBD, life goes on.
Really, really short sighted.
Yep. All the idiots going on bar crawls this past Saturday scared everyone with a shred of common sense, and it seems like most people here are taking it very seriously now. The streets in my neighborhood are very quiet. I can see the Red Line from my apartment, and no one is on the train. Kinda spooky, especially on such a beautiful day.
No shit? I can see the red line from mine too haha. Up North
I don't know if it's in the thread but Houston (Harris County) is doing the no bars and restaurants as take out only.
