Guys please talk me out of going to my favorite bottle shop that's closing in an hour until God knows when. Official order in NC is that all bars and restaurants close at 5pm today
Go and drink up. The alcohol will kill any of the coronavirus.

I ventured out to the grocery store for the first time this morning since last Wednesday. I decided on Central Market over HEB. It was surprisingly stocked with everything I needed -- chicken, beef, bacon, pasta, rice, cheese, eggs, etc. The only thing it didn't have that I needed was garlic.Â

Per my contact at the county attorney's office, restaurants will be shut down for dine-in (takeout and delivery still available), and gatherings of more than 10 people will be banned, effective at noon today.
Heard the same thing earlier this morning. My source also only mentioned restaurants, but not gyms and health clubs, though I'm assuming they'll be included.

Buy gifts cards/gift certificates for the amount you know you normal spend with them and then use them later.
This is the horrible but honest response to that suggestion — what if I end up with hundreds of dollars of gift cards that I can’t use because the restaurants shut down? I know that’s a shitty pessimism, but a distinct possibility.

thanks for the welcome. it's not exactly shaggy tradition. honestly, I've been around for more than a decade. and apologies to South Austin (and your mom) for confusing you with 6th street. two complete opposites.
No offense taken. Just so we’re clear, I don’t usually stir up debate. I go for the cheap laugh. Usually at my own expense. And my poor mom’s.

We're getting ready for a small gathering next week some time. Us on the screened-in-porch, and the other family at a table outside of it, 10 feet away. We'll provide them their own hand sanitizer, etc., and they bring their own meal. We'll be "together" but never actually come in contact.
Worst key party ever.

My gym is FINALLY doing a nationwide closure. Finally. My angry tweets paid off?
Bro, do you even lift?

I made a mistake 2 days ago. My 11 yr old daughter begged to spend the night at her friend's house. Stupid ass mom of the friend took them to the mall and out to eat. I thought this lady was smart too. Keep in mind where I live school was already released and at that point we had 3 cases in our county. No more sleep overs.Â
Hotness of friend's mom is necessary data.

The best my office came up with was a rotating MWF/TuTh schedule. Keeps office half staffed every day indefinitely while the other half works at homeÂ
That's what my law firm has done, for this week anyway, though Friday is total closure and everyone work from home.Â

Starting to wonder how this will affect my Rosemary Beach trip the first week of June. Will the temporary school closure cause the school year to push into June? Will domestic air travel be impacted? If so, I suppose we could drive, but will it be prudent to be around crowds in a beach community?Â
A first-world problem, I know. But still a problem.

Didn't I read that some scientists think there's a chance this causes long-term lung damage?
That's only for people who also worked in an asbestos factory.

I understand that may sound cavalier to some.
I want to stay in, wife wants to go, kids want to go. So we're going to go, keep our distance, and keep it short. I've told her this can't become a regular thing.
That's fair. I'm also looking through the lens of a guy who's already caught and recovered from a wicked virus, CV or otherwise, and who's basically been under house arrest since Friday morning with no kids or other company. I'm starved for social interaction. So I might not be the best counselor on this particular matter right now.

What does everyone think about small gatherings? Some friends invited us to dinner tonight... Combined, the 2 families would have fewer than 10, and they assure us they've all been indoors since Friday. Other friends invited my son over. I haven't seen any guidance about really small gatherings.

If you're worried about the price, just invite a bunch of friends over for it and split the cost. Lots of people sitting close together in your house, sharing food and drink together, what could possibly go wrong?
Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, “When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?”

I know what this board thinks of Ohio and our people. But I hope you guys are willing to put that aside and follow DeWine's lead.
What -- other than the overarching opinion of the American public -- leads you to believe that this message board has a low opinion of Ohio?

Because if it rains as expected today/Sunday, it’s gonna be packed.  ÂThinkery is closed thru 3/22.
I'll be surprised if Thinkery re-opens before May.

So you're saying I might have to reschedule my penis-reduction surgery?

Is there maybe an implied social duty to get tested? You know for data science and shit.
I think the response from ChiTown and others in the medical community is that if you aren't in a risk group and aren't showing significant symptoms that you can't control with OTC meds, don't tax doctors' offices with testing just for data's sake, so all those most vulnerable and in most need can get tested.Â

Has aggy put the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship banner up yet? Nobody else has claimed it.
Prove to me that they lost in the NCAA championship game.

It is crazy and frustrating to me, that as a physician, there is nobody in en emergency response role in the medical community, available to help you with this. And that you are having to ask on a college football message board.Â
How dare you besmirch The Surly.
