“The Disney Princess’s Apprentice”
Official statements made this afternoon for Sac. Stay home, only leave for essential tasks. Not enforced yet, but hexa-underlined for severity and emphasis.
Just saw this. Looks like lockdown is imminent here in Ventura County.
Ventura County orders some businesses to close, shelter in place for vulnerable residents
County officials ordered the closure of certain businesses and shelter in place for elderly. The order will last Wednesday until April 1 at least.

43-year old Jennifer Haller from Seattle was the first person to be injected with a new trial coronavirus vaccine on Monday. Researchers will follow her and 44 other people for 12 months to evaluate the vaccine.

This has to be the fastest a vaccine trial has EVER got to the test stage. And the method is really interesting also. I have read about similar methods in trial phases of late with curing certain types of blindness. This method may be the way of the future for a lot of things.
Article is a quick read and pretty short.

It seems that if you owe federal taxes, you can defer payment and penalties for an additional 90 days. But you still have to file!

The federal tax-filing deadline has moved to July 15, and the IRS will waive penalties and interest on tax payments
The July 15 deadline applies specifically to federal taxes, though all states have also extended their deadlines to July, June, or May.

Also, If you are affected adversly in the employment area...Amazon is hiring an additional 100,000 people during this time and increasing pay of current employees.
It might not be the job you want...but it could help out.

Amazon is hiring 100,000 warehouse workers and raising pay as the coronavirus causes an 'unprecedented' increase in demand for this time of year
Amazon pledged on Monday to hire 100,000 warehouse and delivery workers and raise their pay by $2 per hour through April.

Another good thing to come out of all of this is the expansion of telemedicine for those on Medicare. This is a big deal as it is not limited to those who suspect they have COVID 19. It covers all visits. So if you are diabetic and have a routine visit coming up...you might be able to use the Telemedicine option.

I've got enough shave gear. I'm getting a bidet.Looks like they may be sending everyone $1,000 for shave gear
Yeah. Me too!
I don't have TV, I don't read the paper, I generally try to avoid news at all costs. I hate most of what the mainstream media puts out. I usually get updates on the important stuff on the radio on my drive to work, or on Facebook. I guess I'm lucky being in the middle of the US, this has been slow to reach us and the spreading has been minimal. This thread has helped me realize how bad it is out there for some areas. Was looking at a few sites and saw this map from a day or two ago. It's interesting to see county maps like this to see how stuff spreads....
Nobody in our county yet, but three in Franklin which is right next door.

Definitely thought of you when I saw that pic. Stay safe Brother!
Not to poop on your parade KJ...but please keep taking preventive measures. Just because your county doesn't have a reported case, doesn't mean that the virus isn't there yet. It just means that no one has tested positive in your area yet. Rural areas are going to be slow to start getting people tested. And if I had to guess...I am sure the virus is in your area. Just keep on keeping on my man!
Oh, no worries about that, we definitely are. Nearly everything here is cancelled or shut down. And we're staying home except for going to work and the store.
