I thought most of those were already closed.

Likewise. I quit going to the gym just over a week ago; using my bike and dumbbells and the floor and the wall and whatnot. Got a haircut early last week. What the hell is a "sweepstakes lounge"?

Guys, I hate to raise panic buying any higher but Cooper will likely be tightening more in the near future ... make a liquor run!

He really should take advantage of every opportunity to prove socialist solutions really do work. Won't cost him anything.
 
Swimming pools! Doesn't chlorine/bleach kill off the invisible bugs?

My kids work for the State - remotely these days at that. Not a whole lot of heavy lifting involved. Nothing of substance or tangible value ever produced, visible to the naked eye at least. Direct deposit payment ( no dirty money ever touched) plus this n'that - what have ye they all expect to get these days besides. I was a goddamned pioneer by comparison. Better shelter in place, old bastard. Shit's gettin' real ...

Yes, but it's a place where people socialize and congregate. I see pools as butt soup, so I don't go in them...but that doesn't mean I won't go with my niece and wife to the pool just to sit in the sun (and perhaps catch some corona while I drink a Corona.)

Look closely at Cooper's list - indoor pools are bad, but outdoor pools are apparently okay. Well, at least until Friday or Saturday.

Most public outdoor pools open around memorial day, at least as far as things like neighborhood pools and the like. Your mileage may vary. So I would imagine that may be why they haven't really targeted those. Considering how hostile a high chlorine environment would seem to be, I would think having people at warm pools would be a good thing.
 
On 18 Mar FEMA activated all ten regional headquarters and manned them at 100%; NORTHCOM has since stood up all ten of its affiliated Defense Coordinating Officers ICW the FEMA HQS...this has never been done, not all of them, not like this. We only experience regional disasters, not national and global events. FEMA has a very long arm, and even longer since it was rolled under DHS.

You can scare yourself boogaloo stupid if you start reading the list of executive orders, going back to Kennedy, that they have access to under the "right" conditions.

Just got email from FEDEX that the US government considers them an ESSENTIAL business and it will be business as usual for them as long as local and state AHJ's feel the same way to places they deliver.

this is consistent with people I spoke with in current lockdown states. Delivery services are still GTG

I thought it was just me...
though depending on where the pool is located and who is in it, that could be a good or bad thing.

I'm essential as well, but can do all but deliver the papers to the teams from home.
My mgr, got me the letter, with a verbal " there are resources at the buildings, if you might need them"

Soo, who types up these essential papers?

Or does ones company just dictate on their own letterhead that they’re essential?

That's pretty much what my company in Chicago did. We quoted the Governors shut down order that specifically called out our business type as essential and made up paperwork stating the bearer is an employee who needs freedom to get to work.

We have a manager who's son is a Chicago cop. The direction given to his office was two warnings, followed by a ticket followed by jail. So nobody is getting more than a hassle in reality, if anything at all. Chicago being Chicago, minorities will get hassled long before whites will.

All these silly laws can’t be enforced in the Wuhan Virus pandemic. They can’t even enforce <100 people gatherings. Once the violent crooks and antifa goons get the message we’ll have spicy times. Often.
