So are most South Carolinians. If you look on social media most people are begging McMaster to shut down everything. Many employers are still making employees come to work at non essential business.I am still baffled that SC and GA refuse to budge when it comes to issuing any sort of orders.

And Governor has the state attorney general say that Columbia’s shelter in place order is illegal that only governor has that power. Hotels are closed but from what I have heard the beaches are still crowded.
I don't know of a single church around here that hasn't gone online. Maybe some of the smaller ones but it hit the community hard enough that they seem to be taking it serious.My own hometown has a similar church, but this one doesn't even try to implement social distancing or sanitizing for the service. Just sad. It's not very loving of others when they gather by the hundreds like that. I'm also a Christian, but we have our church online.

Anywhere being hit hard is already under local orders. I visited my jobsite today and the small towns are empty even with restaurants serving takeout. In Georgia there is a lot of rural resentment towards Atlanta controlling everything. The governor won his seat by carrying the rural counties and letting Abrams take more of the suburbs than normal. He doesn't want to piss off the counties with no population and limited internet when the larger counties can manage themselves.I am still baffled that SC and GA refuse to budge when it comes to issuing any sort of orders.
Same here. I do notice the home good stores packed like sardines. Its like a black friday on steroidsI don't know of a single church around here that hasn't gone online. Maybe some of the smaller ones but it hit the community hard enough that they seem to be taking it serious.
Those are the only places still out of hand here. I get it that people want to stock up on things to do around the house but it is out of hand. They are starting to enforce the distance better though. My wife went to Publix to replenish some stuff on Sunday and it wasn't bad. Everyone was respectful of distance.Same here.

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said the number of ventilators is the biggest short-term issue related to the state's hospital capacity.
"This is a very, very difficult item to find because everyone is looking for them all at the same time," Edwards said.
In total, Louisiana has 2,749 ventilators, including 650 in the New Orleans region. Edwards said the state distributed 100 ventilators to that region Wednesday and more could be arriving in the coming days and week.
"If our growth continues, we could potentially run out of vents in the New Orleans area in the first week of April," Edwards warned.

Louisiana races to increase hospital beds, ventilators for COVID-19
As of Wednesday, Louisiana has a total bed capacity of 22,142, but less than 10,000 of those beds were available to new patients.www.wwltv.com
Not out of the realm of possibilities, though it is a bit Draconian ... personally would have no issues with shutting down all air, rail, and bus travel for a couple weeks or three ... even shutting down all use of Federal Highways to all but essential (food, medical and petroleum) transports ... beyond that, it is up to the States to do what they need to inside their borders ... we are a Republic after all and the Federal government has limited authority over local issues like intrastate travel, assembly ...![]()
Trump 'may quarantine Americans and close businesses over coronavirus'
US President Donald Trump is mulling a plan to quarantine all Americans for two weeks and close most businesses while grounding airlines if his coronavirus guidelines go unheeded.www.dailymail.co.uk
Hmmm...

It could be a very dangerous precedent to set. I know it's an emergency but I don't the federal government wielding that much power.But what choice does he have? I agree it's extreme. But people aren't taking this seriously. States such as GA and SC aren't doing enough. If we overwhelm our healthcare system we all stand to suffer. I don't want it to come to this, but at this point, I feel it's inevitable.

I say... let him! I am glad he's considering stepping up to combat this crap. People don't want to take this seriously, well I say throw their a$$e$ in jail and fine them, heavily. Enough is enough.
My point is and was ... that is not the structure we've legally built for ourselves ... and if the states you cite want to act like idiots, their populous has the means to immediately address it ... but on a Federal level, the power and authority simply does not exist beyond control of interstate commerce and the "land" the Federal government owns and controls --- air, interstate, rails and common carriers ...But what choice does he have?

There are state prisons ... county jails ... local curfew powers, the State National Guard ... but it is a 10th Amendment thing ... Bill of Rights ... and oh yeah ... a well regulated militia ...It still doesn't mean it's in consideration. I saw that after I posted it though, so my bad.
I agree. I just want us to get through this. And while I understand that there are protocols in place to protect our freedoms, it has become increasingly obvious that people just don't care anymore. Hey, I'd rather be under quarantine for 2 weeks then still be dealing with this in July. I want our country... our planet to get back to some sort of normal. We can't do that if we have people who are so inclined to defy orders from a state level.
GA and SC will not be shutting down no matter how bad this gets. In fact, I'm hearing our governor wants Columbia and Charleston to drop their shelter in place orders. He says they are illegal.
