I know it's a time where rumors are ruining crazy, but I heard this is a possibility today. Anyone heard anything?
State shut down today?

More like the stay at home orders. I was just curious, I heard it but I know people here know a hell of alot more than I do
Essential businesses are still running and you can still go to food stores and places like Lowe's /Home Depot. Total shutdown of all places not considered essential to life begins Thursday at 8 PM by governor's executive order.
I work for the department of community based services (food stamp/Medicaid office) and the vast majority of us were sent home yesterday to work.
"Essential for life"=liquor stores open as usual. True story.
Have enough bourbon, beer and wine to keep me and my wife going until, well, until we forget why we're home.

Didn't see any mention of them on either list. Looked like those that have to close all services are things like retail stores, lawyers, accountants, real estate, etc. He said they all can do work from home. But, is fast food considered life sustaining business or life threatening?
Guess I was thinking more along the lines of don't leave the house unless you are going to the grocery or doctor type of lockdown
I would like to see someone set up a food service at rest stops for truckers. They are right on the front lines and are having a hard time with food. They are key to keeping our supply lines open. Without trucking you would have anarchy. Heck, the government could do it,national guard could set up chow wagons and when a trucker pulls in give him a free hot meal.Don't even have to get out of his truck.

I work for an automotive supplier in central Ky. I thought we were going to be shut down tomorrow but have been deemed essential apparently as we supply a high volume of service parts.
Truckers are reason enough to keep fast food open.
My place of employment (large aluminum plant) is still wide open.
If you read the details of the "shutdown", more things are open than not.
And it'll stay open. Logistics, shipping, manufacturing, those types of places will not be effected.
Is the production in your plant essential for something that could be considered necessary for day to day life?
Beshear did list several businesses that are NOT closing: Grocery stores, drug stores, pharmacies, banks, gas stations, businesses needed for transportation, financial services, construction, mail, shipping, logistics, delivery, laundry services, restaurants (delivery, takeout, etc.), home-based care, manufacturing, distribution and more.
These state shutdowns don't mean anymore than government shutdowns. Here in jersey almost everything is open
Not here, all "non life essential businesses" are closed, as well as parks, playgrounds, and basketball courts. We even have a number to call if we see people gathered in groups.
You need to look at your email. Your "large aluminum plant" is considered essential as part of the food supply chain.
There are a lot of businesses that are essential that just will not shut down until they absolutely have to.
I haven't been out of the house in 4 days because I am a high-risk candidate
Genie is out of the bottle down there. He's about 3 weeks late and Florida's gonna look like little Italy more than likely.
I work for an automaker here in Ky. We’re off this week and got a call that we’re also off next week now. 3 UAW members have died with the virus the past couple days so we may be off even longer now. The workers that passed away were not in Kentucky though.
It's really starting to roll now unfortunately....

Well that helps explain why New jersey has the second most cases in the country.
couple thousand out of 10 million people here plus illegals ? We're not doing too bad I'm not really concerned
The folks that claim they aren't concerned get concerned real fast when someone they love gets sick.

Southern Indiana is just as busy as any other day, I guess everyone is going to an essential place.
I’d be devastated of course if someone I knew got it. But it does not change my opinion we are overreacting to a degree. So your incorrect. I’d be devastated if some I knew was in a car wreck but I still drive.
it’s dangerous to be born. I’m not arguing that there aren’t concerns. It’s just we can’t stay shut down much longer. Then you have bigger concerns that also have devastating impacts. There is a middle ground here and I’m sick of folks saying your crazy because you challenge the media group think. Truth is no one really knows much. Cases are increasing because of tests. They’ve always been here. We just confirmed them.
1. Driving a car is essential, large gatherings at a basketball game, or chilling at your favorite bar/ watering hole is NOT.
2. You're not crazy for questioning the media, you're crazy for questioning the CDC, WHO, etc.
Dont be the next person on this board to mock the seriousness of this virus then end up starting a "please pray for my love one hes got Covid19" thread 2 weeks later. CARE NOW.
Florida is a high risk state because of the number of retirees, if nothing else.
You’re correct, in the first sentence. And the blind spots we still have are cause for caution. But deaths are increasing, not because of testing, but because of death.
For those who compare Covid-19 to car accidents, in the US, we have now doubled the average daily death rate (102-105) of auto accidents with the virus.
