Governor Wolf shuts down all "non-life-sustaining" businesses in Pennsylvania

No drive-thru or curb side food pick-up? Would think they would keep this option open for the same reason as grocery stores. Maybe they have transmission concerns, but these might be more easily managed vs grocery stores where random members of the public wander inside and can contaminate many spots.

Plus it at least keep some people employed and the tips flowing.

Oh Good.....let's destroy the economy for a virus that 97% of infected recover.

No bitching from those who bang the stay home bell.

At least we get a cashless society after all this has passed.

My business is me. If I don’t work I don’t get paid. MD will surely do this next week and I will be fvcked.
My wife has the good job and willl continue to get paid but when this happens in MD, this will get tough.

I'm in the same boat, except my wife does not work. (We homeschool) I won't lose my gig, but I cannot work from home. If I can't work, I don't bring in any revenue to pay myself.

Will not comply. I have a full list of activities planned this weekend and will be OUT doing them. The outrageously overblown response to this "crisis" is ridiculous. Shame on those who will so quickly give up the Freedoms and Liberties bought with Blood by our Forefathers. Our "government" treats us as slaves and so many meekly and even readily accept it. "It's for the greater good." How many tyrants have manufactured crises and uttered those words in the not so distant past? Patriots are indeed rare in 2020.

The president may have to step in on that. He promised already this week that he'd talked to all the fast food chains and assured they'd stay open with drive through service throughout this mess.

Shocked to see Child Care Services on that "No" list. How do they expect Dr.'s, firefighters, police, and military to go to work if they have child care issues?

Great point. D#3 works in the child care center at St Joes in Towson and the center is almost 100% populated by children of employees...

There will probably be special arrangements for the special people.

Between him as the horse's ass and AOC as one of the other ends, I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that...

SCOTUS sucks right now. They aren't hearing any good cases or when they get a chance to affirm a right and crush some communists, they let the bastards go *cough* NYC...

Shouldn't this be in the unpopular opinion thread? :innocent0

AS FOR ME...

I don't know how many of you are 40+ but I am 48, hardly get sick and when I do I recover quickly....BUT, I am slightly overweight, have high BP and don't get as much as exercise as I should....

Even though they say most people recover, I am not willing to bet on my immune system with this virus..I have three youngin's and I for one don't wanna leave them prematurely if it can be avoided...

We all know how fast kids spread illness..I would prefer that they keep schools closed until they get a better handle on this...financially its gonna hurt, BAD!!

But the alternative to me is worse, if I lose a child or they lose one of their parents or both!

Just do your part and stay the **** home. If the virus spread does not slow, the hospital system will be overwhelmed in about 2 weeks and we will be rationing care like Italy. In some places, it already is.

Melnic · Mar 20, 2020

I don't think it will be as simple as everyone staying home.

danb · Mar 20, 2020

It wont be as simple as everyone staying home. Historically, pandemics only end when there is enough herd immunity.

Staying home is mostly about preventing the heath system from being overwhelmed. We have about 750k hospital beds in the US, and 15-20% of COVID patients (both young and old) require care. If we ration care, the death rate is 4%. If we spread it out, maybe 1%.

If 20% of the population gets COVID, we will need about 10 million hospital beds.

I'm sure .gov has a plan or at least an idea to provide child care to certain folks deemed "needed". The problem is who feels comfortable dropping off a baby, or anyone under the age of 5, at some random "center" to have some unknown person watch over them.

I certainly wouldn't feel great with that idea.

I know my wife's hospital has set up an informal group of employee's older kids who have either volunteered or were voluntold they'd be watching kids for folks. To me that's much better than using some unknown .gov employee watching someone.

alucard0822 · Mar 20, 2020

Seems much of the fear is the sheer volume of NY's covid cases(almost 1/2 of all active cases) spilling into PA primarily through infected people leaving a state in lockdown to get things in an adjacent state that isn't. Of course it looks like Wolf is all to comfortable as a dictator that can't wait to "enforce compliance"

Can't fight crime, fire, or enemies if you're on a ventilator.
