They've ordered over 40 million people to stay at home starting tomorrow. It was only a matter of time for this to happen. Anyone who has taken algebra or biology knows about exponential growth curves.
Sounds like the governor is shutting down pretty much the whole state. I expect the same to happen in this area very soon. New York has the highest number of cases reported so far.
I'm glad I'm stocked up.

Yep! First it was the city/county . . . and now it is the whole state. We've stayed home all week . . . and well, hopefully all this flattens the curve as we've been hearing. Hope this works . . . here we go!! Best of luck to you out there too!

New York is a hot spot; and I would imagine New Jersey will be if it hasn't been already. I'm glad you're stocked up.

This is the one and the only way to prevent the spread of the virus.

What's really crummy is that the testing situation has ensured that there is a huge discrepancy between the number of reported cases and the number of actual infections. The lockdown orders stink, but it's going to take drastic measures to flatten that growth curve to something manageable.
Our county just declared a state of emergency today. We don't have any confirmed cases yet, but it really is just a matter of time if things keep going the way they have been.

Here in my place, we also have enhanced community quarantine. It's a good thing that we have already stocked enough food. I think a lot of places in the world have are experiencing quarantine.

We can still go out for the essentials or take our dogs for a walk, but otherwise yes we are on lockdown!
