😂😂. So you say that all the superior news stations you watch only care about people dying. But then right here a guy gives you a direct link to msnbc having a show about infecting everyone to save the economy.

Turned on CNN last . All they talked about was his calling it China virus was “racist”. Not one minute on people dying.

You might be the most brainwashed person on here.

Well, I see you managed to start at 55 before you went to 100 this time.
Good Job!

ZERO APOLOGIES will be issued. 🙂

(WHAM) - As more cases of novel coronavirus are confirmed across the country, more states are putting tighter restrictions in place to limit the spread of the virus.

So what does it mean to be an essential or non-essential business?

Manufacturing facilities that produce food, chemicals, medical equipment & instruments, pharmaceuticals, safety and sanitary products, telecommunications microelectronics & semi-conductor, agriculture & farms, and paper products will remain open as well.

Businesses that are owned and operated by a single person are exempt for closure.

This part - so far - is not clear at all. It's not clear if it applies to only "necessary" construction (however you define that), and it's not clear if it only applies to "skilled trades." When you go to the NYS website to define skilled trades, it gives examples but not a list in totality

Thanks for posting this. I work in financial services for a company in Chicago and work at home here so as long as Illinois doesn't enact shutdown orders of businesses, I expect to be fine. I was wondering about my wife's company and other family members and how this would effect them.

And as an aside, some of you have chosen to be mean spirited and trollish with your comments. I understand some are frustrated with possibly their own work situation and this is a very difficult period in our history, but we are all in this together and we'll get through this and hopefully soon. It would be nice if some of you either take a break from posting or find some kindness in your heart. I wish everyone the best!

Cheers!

Like Jackie Jr. Tony told him he was at rock bottom when he beat the poop out of him in The Bing's bathroom. Not true. Vito popped a cap in Jackie Jr's ass while he was hiding out in the projects with Omar! Moral of the story, you can always do worse.

I'm just glad liquor stores are essential.
Finally, they understand us.
Now, if each state would just legalize recreational weed, the world would be a better place
- IonSabres

Curbside delivery for bars/restaurants is still essential as of now as well.

All i can say is that the Athletic article focuses on one small part of the email that was sent out

And that i know for a FACT that multiple ppl who work at 716 & Labatt House have been personally called and told that the businesses will be reopening, and they will have their jobs waiting for them

Already did.......twice.
