Poll: Will the US go under quarantine?

posted by wildcats20

All in person voting is stopped. Extending the date to June 2. But it’s not technically official. 

Judge has rejected the temporary restraining order. Voting will take place.

Was Ohio one of the first states to start canceling school and closing down restaurants and everything else? Are there other states not treating this as aggressively? 

DeWine has been out in front of it, for sure.

Yes & yes. Nashville has said the Mayors request to close all bars is unconstitutional and are ignoring it until its state mandated by the Governor. The Governor has not stepped in.

Florida hasnt close beaches, which are still packed. I think bars and restaurants still open as well.

going to have to since people are stupid. 

Florida proving once again how fucking terrible of a state it is.

Ohio is one of the few that I've seen, so far.

The only other states I've heard about are:

California
Washington
Kentucky
Maryland
Illinois
Michigan
D.C.

But there could be more than this that I just haven't heard about.

My dad said NC was starting it tonight. Or at least he thought that was the case. 

Can add Minnesota to the list as well. 
 

Meanwhile in WV, Gov Jordan is telling people to go to the grocery and go to Bob Evans.

Meanwhile in WV...

meth & mountain dew so far looking superior to hand sanitizer

PA was the first to close liquor stores. I beleive they have since closed restaurants and other rec areas as well.

SC closed schools starting today. Today the local mayors also said no gatherings over 50 people. People still going to bars and restaurants though. I do think a lot of restaurants will switch to take out only soon. Our daycare is still open. I’m only aware of one person in our area that tested positive and they had just returned from Italy.

Inbreeds.

No voting in Ohio tomorrow. DeWine is having them ordered closed as a medical emergency. Apparently a work-around that is legal.

That is a bad move.  #Belly's thread about backlash

Also, my grandkids live at Fort Bragg NC and they had school today.

My guess is that small pockets will end up locking down.  These big cities where people are still messing around with public gatherings will cause the problem.  Small towns in Ohio will be fine

New Jersey just implemented a 8pm-5am curfew. Don't like that.
