Should have told people to stay home.
Don't have the guts to "interrupt" business and school.
It happens. The smart ones stayed home.



I think local or state government can "request" that businesses close or
release early but they can't force it without declaring a state of
emergency. Last time I can recall businesses being forced to close up
here was in the blizzard of '78 when Michael Dukakis (then governor)
declared a state of emergency and banned any civilian auto travel for
almost a week.
