I'm honestly unsure how to go about it. I know some media orgs have anonymous lines/email addresses but if not I'd just call them up and ask to remain anonymous in any published stories. One has to imagine they'd honor the request.
Day 4 of the Ohio shut down... everyone is working as normal, or so it seems.
Our numbers are going to spike HARD before anyone takes this shit seriously.

Yeah that banning of plastic bags happened at the worst time.
wonder if this will spread to other places, I know its been a little retailer specific thus far outside of this statewide ban.
I haven't left the house in a week but what proof do you have for your claims? Looks to me roads are dead during rush hour here in cleveland.

Driving on 76 East every day, and there seems to be only the slightest reduction in traffic.I haven't left the house in a week but what proof do you have for your claims? Looks to me roads are dead during rush hour here in cleveland.

Went for a drive during lunch n the Chapel Hill area of Akron and the stores that WERE open were packed.
Sure, Cleveland may be empty.. but outside of that there seems to be a lot of push back on the "stay at home" thing.

Understandable for this time. I've actually been hesitant on bringing my own, and just using single-use ones (well, I do re-use them as trash bags, but right now will wait a while before touching them again).
Yup, Wisconsin is in day two of their safe at home and a shit load of non-essential businesses are still operating as normal generally. People aren't gonna take it seriously until someone close to them gets it.
And here is it. Public schools in NM are staying closed for the remainder of the year.

Not surprising we unfortunately live in a state full of right wing morons stay safe out there.
which is why I started working from home over a week ago and haven't been out since. I'm dreading going grocery shopping next week.
That's why we really needed the President to declare a shutdown and coordinate with all the governors. At this rate some states will be on lockdown for up to six weeks before others even hit two weeks.
Unfortunately, the dealership I work for decided to stay open as normal during this.
Most others have reduced hours, or just flat out closed for 2 weeks. We have had people in here a lot and I feel like someone here is going to get sick... then we are ALL screwed.
My right wing family in Wisconsin still thinks it is fake and all to tank the economy so Trump isn't elected again. It will take it getting bad for them to wake up.
In happy news our local animal shelter announced that all adoptions are $25 because Bissel is paying the rest of the fees.
Find it interesting that other states are bringing back plastic bags. At my local store they are just making people with reusable bags pack their own groceries.
Same. At least stained stinky clothes make social distancing easy.
I'll keep using mine until they're banned. I carry them through the supermarket and then pack them myself without really touching anything else. I can see why they're being banned in places but I haven't had any hesitation using mine.
Honestly, it feels like the "Stay at Home" order in Ohio is kinda "Crowd the grocery stores/parks". There needs to be tighter restrictions on those two spots.
Yep. I clean over two dozen various businesses and offices in WI, and I've had 3 clients tell me not to bother coming in. Some of them have barely acknowledged the crisis is even happening.
More just annoying as one more thing to wipe down and clean.
This seems to be pretty much everyone's initial reaction to the order, it's how it was here too. Playgrounds, golf courses, etc. had to be explicitly closed after the initial order began.
Even today, there were teenagers running down a supermarket aisle close to each other, laughing like nothing was going on. Other people socializing like "how's your dog? nice day today" while everyone else who actually seems to be aware of what is going on, just wants to get done shopping as soon as possible.

‘Non-Essential' Businesses Should Be Closed. What if Your Employer Demands You Work?
Some Bay Area businesses have apparently defied Gov. Newsom’s shelter-in-place order, and remained open even if they’re not classified as “essential” by the state. NBC Bay Area got a tip that a chain of non-essential retail stores was still open for business this week, and employees were ordered...

Thanks! The company at least changed its limited manning plan back to what it was, so that's back on.
Going to go in Monday and see what management has to say and take more steps if I don't like the answer. We have a Union so going to talk to the steward, going to talk to HR, going to even ask my leadership if an unpaid furlough would be on the table until the worse of this dies down. That's not an option a lot of people can take but I want to know what I can do.
Once those are exhausted, I try your idea, call the press, and cross my fingers . 🤞

I didn't pay attention to the news this weekend so I missed it, but Gov. Kelly of Kansas issued a stay at home order on Saturday lasting until April 19th currently. The most populous counties had already issued their own, but I'm glad she finally did it for everyone.
My wife saw a toddler with his mouth on the grocery cart a couple days ago and was aghast. She wanted to say something to the kids mother but was worried how that would play out. Crazy how nonchalant some people are.
"Should we shut down the state?"
"No, no! Only PARTS of the state. That'll contain the spread!"
Jesus. Florida 'bout to kill everybody.

Oh I know. The "something" wasn't relief, it's...well it's something.
DeWine said today he might have to create restrictions on parks. And grocery stores need to seriously limit the number of people allowed inside at once. Although I was there around 3pm and it was kinda dead tbh.
How is NJ not completely locked down?
It's got the 2nd highest cases in the country...? NJ now has almost 17K cases?
Yet, the only things closed are non-essential retail?

We are so lucky we elected a new governor in Kentucky. This would have been an absolute shit show if our last guy had still been in office.

So NYC peeps, what are you doing in regards to groceries? Are you ordering online/ delivery, in-Store pickup or just venturing out to your local supermarket? Looking for some delivery recommendations. Sorry if this has been asked before.
