The federal government has hinted that restrictions on domestic travel may be coming.

It's so easy to be critical at a time like this, but I feel like Canada should've done that weeks ago...

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine will be issuing an order to close all bars and restaurants Sunday night at 9 p.m. to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

During a press conference, Gov. DeWine added that establishments can stay open for carry-out and delivery but what we can't have is people congregating and seating.

"I'm aware that this will impact many, many good workers. I can't tell you how sorry I am, but we will work to mitigate the suffering," DeWine said. "It is our goal for everyone to get through this."

Illinois Governor "Toilets" Pritzker closed all bars and restaurants (pick and delivery still available). Not making this up, the fuckwad got pissed off because people were celebrating St Patrick's Day... IN CHICAGO.

I have to admit, I am pretty stunned that a Governor can just decree that private businesses may not conduct business. Who's next? What are the limits on this authority?

My wife was just told she'll be working 14 days straight on the wards, then 7 on, 5 off until this ends. Keep in mind this is a resident still in training, 4 years out of med-school, paid less than many nurses. She has a ton of unanswered questions, and there are a lot of rumors within the medical community that aren't positive. It's the job, it's what you take an oath for, but I don't fault her for being anxious. As the spouse I'm concerned for her.

Yes, particularly as being tired her own immune system will be run down. I think it's disgusting how they treat doctors and hospital staff at times.

If I was her I would just take a day off, in the middle of that find some excuse... I bet management doesn't work 14 days in a row

The governor here already ordered all ski resorts to close earlier. I posted about it the other day. When a State of Emergency is declared, it gives the governor VERY broad powers. Here's a local news story detailing what the governor can do. And I'm sure it's similar in every state.


How much power does Gov. Polis have during a state of emergency?
By Joe St. George - FOX 31 Denver


DENVER (KDVR) — Gov. Jared Polis has declared a state of emergency over COVID-19 concerns.

On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began referring to the outbreak as a pandemic.

Now, a question is: how much power does Polis have? In short, he has a lot.

A recent document prepared by Colorado’s non-partisan Office of Legislative Legal Services details Polis’ wide-ranging powers.

Polis’ powers include but are not limited to:

• Using the Colorado National Guard to carry out orders
• Direct an evacuation of any area
• Commandeer any private property
• Suspend selling of alcoholic beverages, firearms and explosives
• Unilaterally order the buying or taking of medicines and vaccines
• Order physicians and hospitals to take or stop taking patients
• Issue a quarantine of a person or property
• Destroy objects that threaten public health
• Determine how to safely dispose of corpses
• Provide up to $5,000 to impacted families
• Change how state business is conducted
• Relocate the seat of government

Well, I'm about to head back up to work for another week. We shall see if I get stuck there for an indefinite period of time. I guess if shit hits the fan, at least I will be isolated on an island.

And if someone on the island is already sick, it will be quickly known as Zombie Island

One of the harvesters of the sea

The mayor of Denver has just ordered that all bars and restaurants be closed to in-house dining for the next 8 weeks. It will be delivery/to-go/drive-thru only if it's an option for the establishment.
