Sheetz gas stations suspended self serve drinks, bakery etc at 4pm today. I wouldn’t be surprised if they only did gas services if things get out of hand.
 
Yes to all businesses, no to local authorities. Per the EO, the Georgia Department of Public health holds the enforcement authority statewide, so they can order a business (or place of worship) to be shut down if they are in violation of the order.
That’s going to be nearly impossible to enforce unless a business decides to have someone stand at the door. With as many businesses that are still open, I say no way this gets enforced.

very old news around here ... in fact, no microwave use in gas stations in Hogtown ... though the stations have been doing it voluntarily for days now ... speaks volumes about the local small business folks ...
 
Just listening to Trump was scary. He’s talking like he’s ready to ease these guidelines with or without support
Considering and actually doing are two seperate actions. Over a week away. Its not gonna be wide open in all areas when it does happen. Which is still a couple weeks down th he road. The mortality rate is below 1. The data will tell them how much by next Monday. He will take all data input from team and see where they are at at that time.

The mortality rate is fluid sure its low right now because we havent swamped the system yet. Once that happens deaths will pick up and the mortality rate will as well.

I dont know man. The 2 docs are big in annalytics and hes listening to them, their data. She seemed to give credence in hour 2 of the marathon pc lol. You could tell as they are testing 45,000 plus a day now, they are getting a feel, vibe this is gonna come in under 1%. Well see. You are correct deaths usually are like 14 plus days down the road after testing pos. Have a lag time.
 
Cloture was filed again this evening but the stimulus bill now has to wait until WEDNESDAY before that procedural vote can take place. Technically they can vote at 1201am tomorrow night but the way this is going I wouldn’t count on it

My wife owns a hair salon, she is our source of income and it has been ordered to shut down by 5:00 tomorrow. and stay closed for 30 days. Her business will not survive. Her landlord came yesterday and demanded his rent check, won't get one next month but that is little consolation for her. Roy Cooper will end a lot of small businesses forever

Do not care if he is D or R ... that kind of bullheadedness deserves more than a kick in the arse ...

That’s all a bunch of click-bait BS. Posting stuff like that is irresponsible.

I’m assuming this is a joke but sorry if I missed the humor

#9 reveals he's an anti-vaxxer. Hoooo-boy. And that's not even the worst of them.

I feel unclean after reading that

That jackass is a self proclaimed “person of color” That alone should tell you all you need to know about him.

All I have to see is "alex jones" and I already know it's crap. It's best to use actual factual sources not BS.
 
Atlanta mayor went forward with the shelter in place effective at midnight tonight
And that’s her prerogative and prob a good move for city of ATL. May not be such a smart move for other counties, municipalities. This does really show the power of local and state govt. I’m regards to Gov Kemp, I can see his side of things as the economic impact of such a statewide shut down is dire and maybe not needed based on the numbers. Or, maybe would have no dramatic effect as most people are already taking extreme precautions in contrast to their daily lives. Or, maybe would be ineffective as some people are always going to be dumb - it’s just a natural right for some. Barring law enforcement knocking on all doors, which is unrealistic, only so much govt can do in a free society. No American would tolerate govt intervention like that in China, even in a pandemic, for very long.
 
This is a post from a guy on another forum I'm on as he waits for his test results. He was at Disney 2 weeks ago and became sick after returning.

His post:

No results came back yet .
Wife had to take me back to the ER Saturday night about 11pm because oxygen levels got low.
Wife was tested Sunday and daughter is quarantined with us now. All 3 of us have had fevers and coughing. I have to use albuterol inhaler to keep my oxygen level normal.
ER doctor said he would be surprised if my tests came back negative since I have all the symptoms. Day 8 of this crap and luckily we are Not hospitalized.
If any of you start running nose , sore throat and or fever with cough you better stay home and start taking vitamins.
DO NOT TAKE ibuprofen and prednisone.
They just make it worse much worse.
The ER doctor said this virus will enhance what ever you have.
You have heart arrhythmias, blood pressure problems then the corona virus will make it much worse.
You have sinus issues, asthma then you will get really sick.
I have never been this sick in my life.
I was walking 10 miles a day at Disney world 2 weeks ago and now I cant walk 10 yards .
You boys and girls better stay home unless it is absolutely necessary.
 
Just found out we have a member of our church that works in the medical field came in contact with someone that tested positive and she is now showing symptoms. She not a nurse, but works alongside one, she was told she can not be tested until Thursday!! What happened to healthcare workers having access to testing.

Still really interested if this stuff isn't what nailed us about a month ago. My sister in law still has chest tightness she cant get rid of. My wife still has sinus trouble that came from know. My mother in law suffered severe coughing for days along with fever and fatigue and my twins actually coughed a lot. After nine days of fighting it, I ended up with tightness in my chest.

BIG QUESTION I wish I knew. Do they save cultures when you get flu tested? Here's my timeline: 2/22 my daughter had her first Reconciliation, (it's a Catholic thing) and she chose Cracker Barrell (wth?) for brunch afterwards. It's on the side of I-75, tons of travelers. She started acting sick 2 days later but nothing horrible, minor cold symptoms. On Ash Wednesday 2/26, my husband, who is never sick, was fine that morning and by that evening was siiiiiiiiick. Sore throat, cough, body aches, fever. Friday 2/28, I started feeling bad and so did my 14 year old. Saturday morning I felt like death, same symptoms. Went to the doctor diagnosed with respiratory virus, negative test for flu and strep. Daughter same. Prednisone helped and cough medicine. It was up and down for about a week for all us til we felt normal-ish. A month later and I'm still coughing. Timeline and symptons fit. Yeah, good chance it could have just been another virus, but are my samples still available? Not trying to be cool and say yay I had it, just think it COULD have been and wish I knew.

Yeah timeline fits here too. While my family's symptoms were less severe my mother in law's symptoms fit it very well. None of us really thought about it though, although it was just around the time the Washington State nursing home was hit. My mother in law also shops in Oxford which is off of I20.

Definitely would be interesting to know.

Yes. There is a new test that checks for the .ant-bodies.
 
Saw this quote. It's the president of Vidant medical center in Pitt County, NC. He is adamant about a shut down needing to happen NOW.

His quote:

“The problem is the way political decisions are made. They don’t match the time of a virus,” said Waldrum. “We have to get on COVID-19 time.”"
