My daughter just texted me. Her husband (my son-in-law) is an
electrician and has work booked ahead for almost a year.
Problem now is he can't pull the necessary permits because
most of the town halls and their permit offices are all
closing because of this virus thing.
My neighbor is the event manager at an upscale DC restaurant (The Monocle). The
DC mayor just closed all the restaurants in town. Not good.

Same here. All restaurants closed for the next month at which time the
situation will be re-evaluated. Those that have traditionally offered
take-out can continue that but not if they hadn't offered it before.
Also, all schools, bars are closed, fitness centers limited to 25
people, theaters and any other public place that normally has large
numbers of people.
(probably will be reduced to 10 people or closed altogether).
One of the popular supermarkets up here just announced they will
open early starting this Thursday for seniors only from 6am to 7:30am
Gonna be interesting in how they enforce that. I can see fights
in the parking lot over toilet paper.
Just got the Safeway ad. TP even on sale. Limit 12 rolls. I ordered
my list for Store pickup. I guess so many are ordering on line, can
not,pick up until Thursday.
I have to take Pop to PT tomorrow so I will stop by Publix and see how
bad it really is. The only thing I wanted the other day that was sold
out was bread. I ended getting some fresh from the bakery. It was
actually a nice change from factory bread.
The only fresh meat in the counter yesterday afternoon was corned beef, turkey
patties, and ground chicken. The rest was gone. Didn't look at toilet paper. If
things get really bad, I'll just go poop in the Safeway toilet. Probably be a
long line!

Probably no TP. One guy I know of lives in New Mexico. Works at the
county gun range 2 days a week. They were teaching a CCW class and 15
minutes after they opened, the women’s bathroom had the tP stolen.
