What is this? Is this a problem? Where are there internet cafes?
My company is very politically connected and they've all but confirmed it.
Not that it's shutting down today necessarily, but that they expect the announcement to be made within the coming days.

Nope. Just empowering police and public health officials to enforce quarantine upon people who have tested positive or have active symptoms. Quarantine meaning you cannot be out in public except for medical reasons or supplies. It is more symbolic than anything.
I mean, I think the argument could be made that hardware stores are essential. You need to fix broken stuff, buy a refrigerator/freezer if it breaks, generators for power outages, (we are entering thunderstorm season), cleaning supplies and Toilet Paper since HD does carry that stuff...Local repair companies need to get material to fix our leaky faucets, toilets, etc.
That's just one example though. Does the fucking mall need to be open right now? It's a fucking joke.
Simon malls and outlets closed all theirs yesterday, someones needs to tell your local mall to do something. I wish more places took this serious, peoples lives are on the line :(
Public health order: Chicagoans confirmed with coronavirus or showing symptoms ordered to stay home
“If you violate this order, there must be consequences,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a televised address. “Be smart, be safe, and stay home if you are sick. That’s an order.”
Nobody cares. Non essential businesses in Ohio will never close unless forced to. DeWine created like 100,000 new unemployed citizens with his actions so far, and it will all be for nothing because he's still letting non-essential factory and retail employees go to work and interact physically with hundreds of other people daily. Probably promised his Republican CEO friends he wouldn't close all their businesses. The guy is full of shit
our governor seemed to strong imply they wouldn't reopen for this school year (it would be a miracle) in that long conference, though i guess they'd make that official announcement in a few weeks
I teach in MI and I have feeling we'll be doing the same.

PA doing good work. DeWine blew all the goodwill he built up in Ohio imo.
An end will only be foreseen once the numbers of cases discovered start decreasing, everywhere is still behind on testing and hence cases are still increasing, just today over ~2K new positive cases were reported...schools are out until May and beyond, the CDC and WH guidelines advise no major 50+ activities until the 2nd week of May, most realistic guidance wouldnt suggest any lightening of the measures currently being taken until May at the earliest.
Just got off the phone with the owner, we're working tomorrow and were planning on working Saturday but that will likely be cancelled. That'll be it for the foreseeable future.
