Corona Virus

I just seen on the news that liquor stores are a essential business that will remain open. I like a beer as much as the next feller but can someone explain that to me please.

In NJ many liquor stores also serve food and such, was kind of scratching my head also when I heard this, because there are also many liquor stores that sell just booze also. Now for some interesting info that I've been reading about in NJ, many micro distilleries are switching from making liquor to hand sanitizer, Im wondering if the state is keeping the liquor stores open because they can take deliveries of the sanitizer one production gets going since there is an automatic network in place

Another question:
Stay inside orders - are they for high density urban areas, suburbs, rural, is it defined? I was just out cutting and working in the woods, nearest other person 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Anyone effected by that yet and how so? Got critters to tend to - must be a definition.

Ha! PA the liquor stores are state owned so they are all shut down. Beer distributors and breweries are still allowed to operate on a carry out basis.
Maybe they figured if folks drink they'll sleep it off and stay home.

All the major press releases from the NYC governor have stressed that being outside is good for the mind and soul, but you need to be away from anyone, think 10ft radius is the closest you want someone to you that is not in your inner household.

That's interesting. I never thought of that but hopefully so. I had to double take to make sure I was reading it correctly.

Starting to panic.

New Glarus is only 40min away. We're good.

Indeed, I think a lot of alcohol will be required to get through this.

You mean hand sanatizer?

The governor of Ohio just imposed a mandatory 2 week stay at home deal. Don't know if it's enforceable but why not.

Lack of alcohol would not be the issue.
22:00, for the retail market.

This weird little jag of PA is currently home to about 10 breweries and 4 distilleries within a 45 minute drive of Erie without leaving the state.

All of the distilleries here have started producing hand sanitizer for the local use.

Small businesses try to do some good and keep their employees and equipment busy.

There are grown ass adults doing this too. There are several stories of adult Americans going out and doing things while knowing they are infected.

And then there is this. The lowest of lows. These scum don't deserve to be in the human race.

I took the time to read it. It is just new wording for the exact thing they have been saying. Nothing new really closed and nothing with any teeth to stop the general population from being out.

I’m ok with restricting people but, I feel it’s no more than a political ploy where a governor can say in the end he did everything he could.

The announcement that they were closing the stores last week had exactly opposite the desired effect, a 2-day jam-packed rush on the stores, which likely created more risk of exposure than just leaving them open ever could have. People who went to be part of that "last call" reported it was elbow-to-elbow people, all day for two days.

I haven't seen any "stay inside" orders, only "no socializing" orders. I was outside all day, both yesterday and today, and I can't see how I'd get anything mowing or gardening.

It's great to see local manufacturers stepping up to the plate. This makes a big difference.

Mukilteo manufacturer switches from making couches to surgical masks to help hospitals

MUKILTEO, Wash. – When Jeff Kaas inherited his father’s furniture manufacturing business many moons ago, he never could’ve imagined going from making stylish couches and chairs to sewing together surgical masks amid the outbreak of a deadly virus. “It’s been crazy. ” As doctors, nurses and...

Because China held back critical data that could have helped Italian Authorities prevent so many from getting sick. The Chinese regime suppressed a lot of data and information coming out about Covid 19. They also waited weeks to tell anyone about it, long after people had already traveled out of China.

Looks like we could have had that info, if only...

I few mayors in NJ had previously issues stay inside orders, mainly the city of Newark NJ, they broke up the city from the classic wards to sections by streets, the mayor then said if your in section one, stay inside unless its an emergency. This was quickly stopped by the NJ governor, the governor saying that local area's need to be on the same page as the rest of NJ, or havoc will occur, and people will just flood other open areas instead.
We have a storm blowing in today so hopefully people stay isolated from the rain and not in lines together at food stores and other places.

does anyone know where the list is for essential workers

Your employer will be able to provide that info, this is all different state to state, so your local news agency may provide better info, but in general it seems that all police, fire, ems, utility, food stores, gas stations, laundry mats, liquor stores, convenience stores, retail that sells majority of supplies for children under 5, banks, us postal, pharmacies, hardware stores, carry out prepared food, city transportation are open.
Be advised that all of these companies maybe open but they may have there own protocols / reduced staffing , limited services, best to check ahead before going (especially in more rural locations) and as always things are subject to change, sometimes by the hour.

With relations with china the way they are whose to say what really happened over there. Maybe china told us to kick rocks so I wouldn't speculate over it to much.

You could probably call the state or local hotline for your area.. Some local areas have decided to put out their own list versus state directions. This is just adding to issues in my opinion. It all reminds meOf my time in the military. Too many chiefs not enough Indians making things way too difficult and confusing.

Some forecasts released this weekend show we’re roughly 6 - 7 weeks from peak, meaning we’ll likely be dealing with these epidemic-level restrictions perhaps another 14 weeks, or well into June. It’ll be interesting to see the run on the stores, esp. the liquor stores which closed a week ago in my state, the day the restrictions are lifted.

Of course, I don’t know the source, authority, or accuracy of those forecasts. Lots of inaccurate and un-cited information coming out of our television news, these days.
