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. -- Freedom Isn't Free! 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. OK we have put this economy in a supersonic dive. Lets just hope they decide to pull out before it is too late. Did you hear, the British government is not doing this. Johnson says herd immunity is the way to go and they are not shutting down anything. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-03-12/british-government-wants-uk-to-acquire-coronavirus-herd-immunity-writes-robert-peston/ One of the quotes they had on a NBC morning show was "We are not going to destroy our economy over a virus that will still be around when we come out of hiding". (or words to that effect) They threw all their money at NHS. |
