Just to expand a little on MA:Massachusetts Stay at Home Advisory takes effect tomorrow. Pretty similar.
Sure - I get that. Some because owners refuse to protect employees.many places have to work even thou they are non essential.
Amen to that!many places have to work even thou they are non essential.
There’s a stay at home order statewide made in the last hour-ishWashington State. No stay at home order. We are out and about every day. Restaurants still open for take out. All the grocery stores still open. Went to Costco this morning. Plenty of toilet paper. Number of cases is not exploding as others have predicted. The hospitals have a few cases in the intensive care units but they are not overwhelmed like the fake news media is reporting.

I went to CVS to pick up my medication. I was not able to do this inside the store. I had to go outside and go through the Drive Up line, and get my medication there. I did not feel safe doing this. Surely, they could come up with a better/safer plan. I have heard that my bank's lobby might close. I don't drive, so will I have the same problem there? My husband sends me to the bank every week to cash a check, so he will have enough cash in the house for a week. I understand most of the precautions taken, but this one boggles my mind.
A lot of banks around me have already closed their doors, and are only allowing customers in if it’s necessary for in-person and by appointment only. Actually, even some of the retail stores allowed to stay open because they were deemed essential have only pick-up available.
It’s interesting that the list of essential businesses for a blizzard is much shorter than during a pandemic.Just to expand a little on MA:
Gov Baker: “I do not believe I can — or should — order U.S. citizens to be confined to their homes for days on end,” Baker said. “It doesn’t make sense from a public health point of view, and it’s not realistic.”

Michigan's governor addressed us Michiganders this morning saying as of midnight our state is on lock down. You can only go places that are deemed necessary. Two of my nieces received papers they will carry in their cars but it's not like we're going to have Checkpoints to check those papers as the governor said; so we'll see.
I noted you mention you don't drive. Hopefully your husband has access to a car and can drive?I went to CVS to pick up my medication. I was not able to do this inside the store.
