To be fair that order isn't written well and it does prevent the gathering of 3 or more but sets no limits on the number indoors, which makes absolutely no sense.

Grocery stores are hiring but people are scared of working in a grocery store right now.
I know but in this particular grocery store the problem has been going on for almost a year since I moved here.. all this raising the minimum wage may be for naught.

I heard they were giving Walmart employees an extra bonus.

Yes we had a one time bonus and then well we usually get quarterly bonuses but we maxed out on that from the panic buying and it got moved up a month
Yeah looking at this at midnight last night I was focused too much on the word outside, when it really meant public gatherings and basically public venues, not literally outside of your residence.

Countries like this need to rewrite pandemic playbooks.

South Africa's ruthlessly efficient fight against coronavirus
The government seems to have acted faster than many other states to tackle Covid-19, writes Andrew Harding.

Not sure what thread to toss this into, but it's not good news. 701,000 jobs lost in March; Unemployment rate jumps from 3.5% to 4.4%.

This was the most striking thing out of this article to me.
The reference period for the March jobs report extended through the 12th of the month, meaning that the data was captured before much of the country went on lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Namely, this jobs report excludes the two-week period at the end of March that saw new unemployment claims skyrocket to a combined 9.9 million.

Social distancing is going to get darker
There will be costs that have nothing to do with GDP statistics or the prices of stocks

Social unrest rising as Italy’s lockdown enters 4th week
ROME: As Italy enters its fourth week under lockdown, tensions are building across the poorest southern regions of Campania, Calabria, Sicily and Puglia as people run out of food and money. The number of checkpoints has increased nationwide to discourage people from going out. But instead of...

There were so many people in line at the SECU drivethru, the ECPD had blocked it off and weren’t allowing any traffic into the parking lot or drivethru lanes. This was at 1030 in the morning.

Just another day around here. Social distancing/ stay at home fail.
At least at the Credit Union it's all drive through, so long lines but in their cars which helps, it is essential... people just got paid, have to pay the bills, etc. Not everyone has gone online which obviously has it's on drawbacks. Nothing is easy any more.
Just talked to a buddy of mine with US Marshals Service. He said Eastern District of VA has shutdown the courthouse in Newport News for complete sanitizing. He doesn’t know if they will reopen it in the foreseeable future. He said they’ll use Alexandria, Norfolk, and Richmond.
This is a very heart warming article to read.

Someone may have mentioned it so please forgive me. With the economy being as INCREDIBLE as it was “pre-pandemic” can you imagine where we’d be now?
I have no doubt we’re positioned very well “post-pandemic”. Please understand, American citizens (Including my 81yr old Mom) lives matter first .... BUT - Are economy must be strong on the other side.
On a side note, I believe us Americans, will become a better people towards each other. At least that’s my hope. ❤

That Governor in Georgia is a real peach...or something. At this point I think I’d vote for a DEM over him.

Georgia beaches reopened Friday night
Some of the state’s most popular beaches will be allowed to reopen Friday night due to Gov. Brian Kemp’s statewide order superseding that of some city-level shelter-in-place mandates.

I hope you are right. We are roughly 3-4 weeks away give or take a few days from finding out when 50% of Americans will have no money for food or bills. We have 25% today and another 25% coming. So hopefully stimulus checks and unemployment fill the needs of those 50%.
It won't. There will be another stimulus coming if not two. Gonna be adding $12-15T on the national debt by the end of this.
it's no different than exercising on the road like everybody's doing right now.. for people that are used to exercising there are not many options.. but the fact that the state supersedes the local law is just asking for political trouble.That Governor in Georgia is a real peach...or something.

Yikes. Hyperinflation is going to be unreal in a few years.
What kind of joke is this?

That's surely a good thing to feed the workers......they aren't protesting how much food they have they are protesting their lack of PPE. Trump wants to cry about what Obama left "on the shelves" but the buck stops at trump.
He has had 3 years to restock, he had Azar asking for money to restock trump cut it by 75%.
Trump was unhinged in parts of his PC yesterday. This should be inexcusable.
It's ok though the polls about his handling of this I are starting to reflect his poor performance.

Take a pill. Actually take 2 because your derangement syndrome seems to be particularly bad! If things have been bad for you, you are an anomaly.

Then why did the trump admin spend the entire month of Feb pretending it was no big deal....if they knew it would be that bad on Jan 28th it boggles the mind that Trump would say and do the things he did for the next month and a half.

Do you honestly think that any administration, past or present, has been completely open with the American people when it comes to revealing something that would cause mass hysteria? NO, they ease into it and let the people acclimate. Come on man, you are smart enough to know that's how the game is played. As managers that's even how we're taught to present the hard news to our employees. Don't want to cause a panic.
