Here in VA there was a death from the virus near Williamsburg. The tole is 20. Last I knew the Governor asked that there shall be no social gathering more than 50 people. Many churches are now doing services online. Not sure if any restaurants in Deltaville closed yet but I can sure believe this will hurt the economy and I hope the Government is read for this.
Probably not as they just wasted 2 mil on Johnny 2 mile stations because the Radio industry can't get it right.

Illinois - GET UPDATES ON THIS POST. I will not clutter the forum with new posts for each update.
On Friday, the gaming board ordered all of the state’s 10 casinos to close for 14 days beginning Monday.
All state parks, fish and wildlife areas, recreational areas and historic sites are closed until further notice.
All Illinois bars and restaurants are closing their dining rooms to customers, through March 30.
Restaurant food deliveries, pick-up and drive-through services will still be available.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said Monday that gatherings of 50 people or more are banned to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
All driver services facilities will be closed through March 31
UPDATE: 20 March, 2020 - Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker issued a “shelter-in-place” order, except for essentials, for the entire state starting Saturday, essentially commanding residents to stay in their homes until 7 April, 2020.
Under the order people can leave their homes to get exercise outdoors and walk their pets. Local roads, including interstate highways and tollways, as well as public transit, will remain open and operating.
The directive is aimed at getting people to stay in their homes, but a number of essential needs are exempt, including going to the grocery store, putting gas in their cars and going to the pharmacy. Those businesses are not being ordered to close. Restaurants will be able to continue offering carry-out service. Agriculture, the press, veterinarians, plumbers, laundromats and banks will not be ordered closed or to stop doing business, but non-essential businesses must stop operating and if people are able to work from home and they aren’t already doing so, “now is the time when you must,” Pritzker said.
Law enforcement agencies will monitor for violations and take action when necessary, but “that is not an option that anyone prefers,” Pritzker said. Pritzker acknowledged the resources don’t exist to “police every individual’s behavior,” and said he is relying on Illinoisans to be “good members of their communities, and good citizens, working together to keep each other safe.”
In addition to the stay at home provisions, it also orders all local government units across the state to halt all evictions and bans gatherings of more than 10 people.
UPDATE: 23 March, 2020 - State health officials announced 296 new confirmed cases, bringing the total to 1,049, and three new deaths, bringing the total to nine.
A total of 8,374 people have been tested in the state, according to coronavirus.illinois.gov.
The virus has now confirmed in at least 30 of the state’s 102 counties, as Jo Daviess, Livingston, Rock Island and Stephenson counties are now reporting cases.
UPDATE: 31 March, 2020 - Gov. J.B. Pritzker extends executive order for shelter in place, no in-school classes until April 30.

Yesterday, March 16, 2020, the Governor of the State of Ohio advised all individuals 65 years and older to stay home.
Not a mandate yet but strongly advised. To late to apply for absentee voter ballots, these individuals may be deprived of voting rights.
I did, however, get my daily Hot Fudge Sundae yesterday before learning of the advisement. Big decision today...

This just in, March 17, 2020, a quote from the Akron Beacon Journal:
"Late Monday night, Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton ordered Tuesday’s polls closed as a health emergency."
Today, March 17, 2020, was to be the Primary voting in Ohio. The Governors Office yesterday requested the polls be closed due to the declared health emergency.
There was a confusing back and forth argument late yesterday between State officials, Franklin County Court and the Ohio Supreme Court regarding postponing election day.
The State would have to convene the Legislature for a decision and time was running out.
As such, the broad powers of the State Health Director were enacted, closing the voting polls until further notice.
Great concern was expressed regarding the security of absentee ballots.

DAY 1 of Ohio Lock-Down:
Practicing "Social Distancing" from the wife...
But seriously, nothing much has changed yet. We got a few things in yesterday so we should be fine for two weeks.
Only problem will be no visits to the daughters house, her rules. She's adamant that the "old folks" should stay home.
Oh yeah, no Ice Cream Sundaes for a while but I stocked up on my favorite from the ice cream stand.

March 31, 2020 FDA gives approval to use Ohio company's equipment which can sterilize up to 80,000 face masks at a time for reuse. This took a call to President Trump from Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine when the FDA restrictions would have limited the number of masks processed to 10,000 per batch. The Columbus based company states that masks can be processed for reuse up to 20 times. The company which has two of these machines is in the process of producing more of these trailer sized machines for use around the country. News Link Here |

April 3, 2020 Per the Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's order, big box stores and super markets (as well as other essential businesses) are told to limit the number of customers allowed in the store. Locally, I'm aware of Home Depot and Giant Eagle stores following this practice. Snuck out to get my take-out Ice Cream Sundae yesterday. Made sure the place was empty before entering...

Walmart to limit number of customers in stores starting Saturday
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Walmart announced on Friday it will start limiting the number of customers allowed in its stores beginning Saturday.
The company said employees will only allow five customers inside per 1,000 square feet of store space, which equals about 20 percent of a store’s usual capacity.
The average size of a Walmart Supercenter is around 180,000 square feet.
Once the store reaches capacity, customers will be asked to stand in lines outside of the store at a social distance of six feet apart.
Many stores have already marked the sidewalks with signage. As one customer exits the store, associates will allow one more customer inside.
All aisles will be marked as one-way thoroughfares to limit contact between customers. Some stores may also begin selling only essential items.
