We locking down today
A big contributor to that is because a lot of your typically softer/social admissions are down because most people are not going to the hospital unless they absolutely have to (and also doctors are leaning towards not admitting some borderline patients to reduce their exposure). But overall, yes that number matters and hopefully there is no upcoming spike as we are seeing in a lot of places around the country.
I'm sure most of y'all are already doing this. A big part of my business is medical alert systems and the vast majority are senior citizens. For the last 2 weeks we've been calling our seniors and the most vulnverable to let them know we are here for them. Most are shut in and live alone. Because of this outbreak they are only seeing their families through the doors of their homes, as they drop off supplies for them. They need contact with someone from the outside world on occasion during this outbreak. Y'all call your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone you can think of that's alone and shut in, if it's just to say "Hi". They will appreciate it, I can promise you!
Can anyone tell me what is different about the stay at home order from what we have been doing? I was under the impression that everything nonessential has been shut down for weeks. I mean most people aren't at work.
From what I've understood the difference is that there were no travel restrictions, they advised to stay at home as much as possible but nothing was enforced. I understand that this is basically you have to stay at home unless you're going to the grocery store or the bank or something of that nature. I could be completely wrong but that's how I understand it would work.
That's what I've been wondering. Here in Jones County we've already been doing what's apparently coming down this afternoon. The only difference I guess is this allows law enforcement to detain someone if they're where they're not supposed to be. I mean non essential businesses are already closed here, schools are closed, restaraunts have been doing take out, drive through or delivery the last 2 weeks, etc.. so I guess it'll just be more of the same for us.
My office is in a complex with several businesses, including a tattoo shop and a salon, they've both been closed for the last week.
FWIW, a friend who works at an essential business in Lauderdale County told me that there's noticeably less people in there today since the shelter in place order started. Before today, it was business as usual. I guess the difference is that people may actually listen.
Georgia just ordered to shelter in place statewide
Yea I mean I'm not sure where anyone would go right now anyway? Everything that's not essential is closed that I can see around Madison, although I admittedly don't go anywhere other than work, the gas station, or the grocery store. I don't see this being a big deal considering there's nothing open to the public currently anyway. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yeah there's really nothing else open. To work, grocery maybe once a week, and the gas station. I do take my son out to the baseball field and we hit and throw but it's just me and him. Nothings open in the mall, restaraunts are not doing dine in and bars aint open, no sports being played, churches closed, so it's really just more of what we been doing the last 2 weeks.
Liquor stores and pawn shops are still open.
We shut down non essential businesses here in Alabama, but no shelter in place yet. We passed the 1,000 case mark today as well.
A lot of this has been discussed in one form or another but this article compares the different death rates in different countries including age, testing, and reporting differences.
