Kentucky Gov. Shuts down Bars and Restaurants

hoosier

Kentucky just announced  All Bars and Restaurants to be  closed.

Take out Restaurant food, or  fast food  windows can still be used.

We don't  eat out much  so  doesn't  effect us in the  respect . But the  trickle down from area $$$  will.

We are keeping the  Gun Shop open, noticed  less folks  coming in.  Mail order and Web orders are up, until we run out of  stuff.

Restaurants and bars are to close in IL, schools already closed.  People staying home:  NOPE!  Went to pick up my taxes today, people out and about.  Still people in the dining rooms of restaurants, bars 'open' signs on.  Farm supply store had more vehicles in the parking lot than usual, customers inside with their kids.  Walmart parking lot almost full, grocery store parking lot 1/2 full but the liquor store entrance was packed.  Not a parking space open.  So much for closing schools and businesses to stop people from congregating in public.

I work in the grocery industry.  When the Gov announced that the restaurants and bars were closing, we absolutely got crushed and this was after getting crushed for 4 days in a row.  No water, no TP, no paper towels, no cleaning supplies, etc...  The shelves are wiped CLEAN!  I have never seen anything like this in the 30 years of retail work.  Some folks are just lunatics!

  And I still say the "pandemic" is media ultra-hyped and the reaction is what will get the USA. People, this is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The people dying are not young, middle aged folks. They all have underlying conditions. More people were murdered the last few days than this weeks long "crisis." Pandemics at least what I read are killing machines and yet to see that. I don't care what you believe and I know you don't care what I believe. I "survived" all the last ones and will this one also. People will be hurting financially over this by the millions. I don't see I, just don't. Flame away but look in the mirror and see if you are scared of dying from this virus. I am not and.

Restaurants in Kansas are closed except for drive-thrus. Some are doing delivery outside restaurants.  ALL schools closed for the rest of the year.  People scrambling to figure out daycare and learning to teach at home.

 congrats, but what happened to the VA??  heres hoping you can make a go of it, I did the retail for 40 years, Krogers, so many time I wanted to tell the customer what I really felt and we were a bit of a higher clientele than dollar general, hope you can handle them without  losing it, gotta learn to bite your toungue and laugh on the inside, good luck KenKenK/84Bravo said:

I am 58 and have two of the three listed causes of concern (Health wise.) Heart problems (bad Mitral valve regurgitation [repaired in 2005] needs work again.) Arythmia/tachycardia, and breathing issues/ sleep apnea. So yes I am concerned. Especially so, that I am starting a new job (tomorrow) and have no health care for the first three months, which will be the crucial time frame.

I am starting a job at Dollar General, so I will be exposed to a lot of people. They are mini grocery stores in a sense. Handling money, etc. I am concerned.

Yes Grasshopper, well said.
I am in rural North Carolina.  The writing was on the wall on Monday, when I learned that 7 states had closed all restaurants.  We went down to  a Vietnamese restaurant in south Asheville for lunch.  Yes, I risked my life but I wanted more of that noodle soup.
This place normally has lines going out the door.  Normally does massive take out business.  But Monday, the place was half full and I saw two take out orders leave the place.  The Vietnam place was kaput, before the shut down order went down.
Yesterday, Tuesday, girlfriend and I were headed down to the fabulous Indian restaurant, Mela,  in downtown Asheville, on the way there my brother called me and told me all restaurants in the state closed.  Take out only.
Yes, it looks like the end is upon us.  I have to go back 58 years to a tune by the Limeliters, "The Time of Man"
"Once there were trees and a river
Once there was grass where you stand
Once there were songs, about rights instead of wrongs
Once was the time, of man..."

Yes it is all over if you live anywhere near Asheville.  I could picture all the staff laying there dead in the Mela restaurant.

Oh, by the way, in the real world, there is one case in Asheville, a city of 100,000.   Nearest other case is in Boone, 80 miles away.
