Probably cost me work.
In the other states your allowed out for lots of reasons including to pickup groceries or takeout food or to assist elderly or at Risk individuals
If the cops stop anyone all they gotta say is “I’m going to the grocery store “
In China they locked down everything and the govt delivered the groceries to you
That’s not gonna happen here
Some towns may have a nighttime curfew , but no biggie . Just get your shopping done before 9 pm
It’s no different than a snow storm or whatever
Just stay at home for a few days
Almost everyone who gets killed in a snowstorm or flash flood is out driving around when anyone with half a brain would be sheltered at home .
This is the first time in history we can save lives by sitting on the couch and at watching movies. Let’s not screw that’s up .
I had diverticulitis bad in January
Was in the hospital five days and then spent two weeks in bed and another two weeks resting
After I got out of the hospital I didn’t go out of my house for two weeks ,
And then for the next two weeks didn’t go out of my yard except for doc appointments
It’s not that hard people.
I’m one of the at risk population
I’m only 55, but
I have asthma and sarcoidosis.
I’m being very cautious , if i get the carona , I doubt there’s anything the hospitals can do for me .
One of the Scandinavian countries has a plan for the govt to pay 75% of everyone’s salary for 90 days that gets shut down for the quarantine.
They’ve done the math and think it’s cheaper than the economy taking years to get back to normal after everyone gets laid off and businesses have to spend months re hiring as their business picks back up
That way after the 90 day quarantine the economy just picks right back up where it was
Everyone still has a job, businesses don’t get bankrupted , homes don’t get foreclosed , etc

Trucks roll?..Where too?
If the port of longbeach or ANY port isn't offloading then you have ships parked.
So the dockworkers and shipping forklift and billing clerks work?
Truckdrivers gotta fuel and eat so fuelstops and restaurants gotta stay open
Trucks gotta have tire repairs and oil changes and repairs..so the mechanics gotta work..
A whole lotta people tied to trucking that's for sure.
But I'm already seeing companies not ship freight to the shutdown states..
And owner ops that wont book loads to shutdown states..
Imagine getting to California and finding out the receiver is closed for weeks and weeks..
How are you going to offload?
And if you get offloaded where/what are you going to reload out there with so much industry shutdown?
What if its a LTL load and your 1234 stops are open and offload but the 5-6 stops are closed?
What are you going to do with the freight?<< you are responsible for it.
Just sit and wait?
Trucking companies cant have a Driver/Truck/Trailer sitting with a couple of pallets on it for days/weeks waiting for this **** to end.
Companies may not even pay bills on some of this freight if they are out of business..
Just saying that "Trucks Roll"..Yeah.."They Roll"...But a Whole lot of them are going to Stop "Rolling" to certain states.
I can attest to this.
We just found out the businesses in Miami will be closed for awhile. I don’t know the particulars, but they turned around two trucks this evening. I don’t think I’ll be going back for a while.
Yes..I know where 4 truckloads of freight are sitting on docks.(non perishable)
Manufacturer wont ship right now to California or NY, not knowing if they will get paid..
And no trucking company wants it on their trucks not knowing if they can get it off the trailer.
(and get paid)..
Saying that trucking is a "Essential industry" doesn't automatically make trucking companies and others make bad/dumb business decisions..
These Governors have NOT thought this "Shutdown/stay home" plan thru very well.

Why would a lot of trucks need to roll if the factories and stores are shut down or limited hours? There is about to be an enormous contraction in our economy and the hiccup will take months to work out.
