My wife and I have had that discussion. For her, that wont do anything. Maybe for me in my line of work. but I can do my job from home if need be.
But still.. never seen ANYTHING like this.
Definitely one month, probably two months, possibly quite a bit longer. The US simply cannot return to normal until we have widespread, comprehensive, and free testing in place. Unless we can isolate outbreaks and act accordingly, we need to have blanket isolation like we do now.

Might as well close non-essential businesses at that point. No reason to do half measures.
Didn't see it in Title
But Nevada has shut down schools and all "non-essential" businesses for 30 days.
All gaming equipment in Las Vegas is to be turned off. Our restaurants are open though

Who's actually enforcing these unless aside from people ratting businesses out?
Trump can't say why professional athletes have access to coronavirus testing
President Trump wasn’t able to say when asked Wednesday why many non-symptomatic professional athletes have had access to coronavirus testing while many sick Americans don’t.
There is no damn way this asshole get re-elected.
Here in Columbus, despite the Governor calling for shutdowns, it really seems like no one is taking this seriously. Had a job interview scheduled for today since before the shutdown and called to confirm it was still on. This was the first time out of the house in like a week and I was expecting to see pretty empty streets and a lot of stuff closed down, but it really just looked like business as usual. The only place I noticed actually closed and had no one in the parking lot were gyms.
I actually asked in the interview if the employer has thought about work from home, because I'm coming from a work from home position and because of Covid, and they were talking about them still contemplating it. Still just thinking about it!

...annnnnnnd Ford, GM and Chrysler have shut their factories down.
This is gonna get much worse.
This is gonna get much worse.
Orange County just confirming "shelter in place" not actually in effect and non-essential businesses not closed after yesterday's confusing message. Seems like it will go in that direction anyway though. We'll see.

“#BREAKING: NY, PA, CT, and NJ will temporarily close all indoor portions of retail shopping malls, amusement parks and bowling alleys effective tomorrow 8PM. Together we will reduce density and slow the spread of #Coronavirus.”

Unfortunately, Dewine said nothing about factories having to enforce the temp checks. Just for retail businesses staying open. I work in a major auto parts store and they've been screwing around on what they want to do since our business has cratered.

I think NY, PA, CT, and NJ are turning into a super state or something. They are coordinating a lot.
Cuomo has been really driving the point home that it doesn't matter what a city/county/state does if their neighboring cities/counties/states are doing something completely different. PA joined NY, NJ and CT today. Hopefully more states close the region follow suit. It is great seeing this level of coordination, especially when the federal govt isn't doing shit.
Austin, TX Bans
Bars and restaurants in austin texas are closed until further notice. And gatherings of up to 10 people are prohibited.
Austin Texas bans gatherings of 10

I agree, as I've been watching his press conferences and all this unfold I've been thinking "Man, I wish he was running for President."

He's right. The more the states in the region work together the easier it'll be to really do something.
Not sure about PA, but tons of NJ and CT residents commute to NYC for work daily (or at least did before all this) so measures not being shared across the board here could lead to issues.
Fort Worth basically shutting down at midnight.
All restaurants and alcohol makers limited to take out, delivery, or drive thru. All bars, gyms, theaters, etc (basically entertainment) closed. Gatherings limited to <50. Churches, malls, and stores allowed to remain open but must be 50% of posted occupancy or 125 people max (whichever is less).
Occupancy limits don't apply to essential businesses, industrial, or office spaces.

With things for NY looking pretty dire for the next few months, it's times like this I'm actually really glad Cuomo's been being rational about this whole thing.
Who's gonna be supplying all these thermometers? I can guarantee you no businesses are going to do this, this dude has been doing a great job but this idea is next level stupid. Just close down non-essentials.
We are gonna call the super state New York City. No objections right?

Objection, the state should be called after the original name of the city, New Amsterdam!
City of Fresno issues emergency "shelter in place" order starting midnight Thursday, essential services will stay open
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The city of Fresno has issued an emergency order telling everyone to shelter in place starting at midnight Thursday morning and lasting through March 31, but carved out a long list of exemptions for essential functions.
Edit: I should add that they're only reporting 2 cases in the county from travel so far.

Hmmm, that's where I live. My profession is an exemption. This is a weird thing to mention in the article: "Guidelines exclude gun stores from being essential services, but there's no ban on gun sales, so online sales are still allowed."
I'm still trying to figure out how non-essential my work is, since they're a resort that's going on like business as usual. Granted, it does take a few days to kick people out of their rooms and cancel/refund reservations.Didn't see it in Title

Just fucking shut it down already. This isn't enough. Send a message.
No, read the article:
[The mayor] says public health officials have told mayors that because of a lack of testing, they should take whatever their local numbers of confirmed cases are and multiply them by 50.
"We've been advised to take action now and not wait for those (official) numbers," said council president Miguel Arias. "If we underreact, people could die."
It seems to be precautionary. The 2 cases were people from the Princess cruise ship. They're located in Fresno County but afaik not in Fresno city.
darn i was going to a conference in hawaii...but it got cancelled two days ago cause of covid but I guess it would have been cancelled by this state mandate anyway

Speaking of DMV, I hope they push back the dates for going in to get Real IDs for the whole country. (I haven't yet...)
Not a New York City closure story but a story from the city: the MTA asks for a $4B bailout from the federal government.
