Slight correction, China SAYS they aren't seeing any new domestic cases. Hopefully it is true but they also said there was no evidence of human to human transmission as thousands in Wuhan were being infected.Agreed. Too early to tell. S Korea is still behind China by a few weeks. China is showing no new domestic cases. We won’t be out of the woods completely without a vaccine but it was never about the disease being gone completely, just flattening the curve
That's more than we'd need, and we'd pass on the love and order lots of take out from local restaurants. (We generally don't eat out much.) The ONE thing I'm really glad to see in our town FB group is people supporting local small businesses like crazy.
Section 2 of the executive order on the linked page. Max $500 fine and/or 60 days in jail.
The fine might not deter some, but the 60 days in jail likely would.
I’ve seen a few local places selling gift cards so they can keep paying staff. It’s a great idea. Basically an interest free crowd sourced loan that you pay back later when people come in to dine when this is all over. If you have a place you like you have to do your part to keep it in business.

Exactly!!! My childhood bestie runs a catering company, and they're selling all kinds of family meals, etc. I'd love to give them some business along with many of the other local eateries, but until we know what kind of stimulus is coming, we're keeping our pocketbook zipped tight as hubby is out of work because he's at high risk from this virus.
That's huge in South Florida. Many snowbirds from Europe and Northern USA will need to find another place to live at short notice.Miami-Dade County has joined Miami Beach's order to shut down all lodging establishments - including hotels, short-term rentals and more - amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber announced Friday that hotels, suite hotels, hotel units within apartment-hotels, hostels, dormitories, motels and temporary vacation/short term rentals should immediately shut down operations and vacate guests from their premises by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 23.
Miami Beach Hotels to Shut Down; Miami-Dade Hotels to Close With COVID-19 Related Exceptions
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez issued an emergency order Saturday afternoon that mandated the closure of county hotels, with some exceptions for a defined set of guests. The order stated that “hotels, motels and other commercial lodging establishments shall not accept new reservations for...
We absolutely need to do something and fast. One proposal was less at $1K for adults and $500 for kids but they all include checks in the mail as early as first week of April. The loan deferrals for mortgages and small businesses will also likely happen. You just tack the extra months onto the end of the loan. Rent is a little trickier for both houses and small businesses. The government could agree to bail those payments out too but a little more expensive.
They're doing it here, and our restaurants remain open but limited to take-out or delivery. Gift cards can be used for those as well.
I'm hoping everything goes okay. Definitely frustrating given the testing situation, just too dang risky right now for ppl to not think of the implications of their actions. Hospital is taking the precaution of whoever is his caretaker/family member at home after may have to self-isolate before his surgery and can be the only one at the hospital (Yet to be a definite). I already put my 11yo to home or her dads house only until this is past, can't risk her picking it up and spreading to others. She did get a phone so she can keep in touch with friends and grandparents at least.
Just watch the latest 60 Days In, definitely deters me
