On a good note, I have the flu. So much for that vaunted CDC and their flu shot. First time I've ever got one. Second flu for me this season.

WTF. Dammit.

i know a bunch of guys who haven't figured that out yet, and will therefor strongly disagree with that.

Bay Area lockdown until Apr 7: https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/16/bay-area-counties-announce-lockdown-through-april-7/

For @SFBadger96 and @bayareabadger and anyone else I'm missing, good luck to you all.

I suspect you may simply be ~2 days ahead of me for a similar lockdown to be announced in OC, but sorry for all of you who are the first ones to have to go through this...

I don't live out that way anymore, maybe someday. 

Parents are in the lockdown. I think they'll be OK. My town is not there yet, though we just lost bars and most restaurants. I'm trying to decided when to go get some takeout to support local business and when to rely on the stock of food I spent a bunch of money on the past few days.

I thought about the same thing. Probably going to do takeout tonight.

The wife and I got what I think was the flu in Hawaii 3 years or so back.  We were in our hotel room basically unable to move very far.  I managed to go downstairs for a couple breakfast rolls and some coffee on Day 2.  It was bad.  It hit very fast, the wife got sick an hour or so before I did.  By Day 3 we were able to get out a bit to eat something (outside).  Long airplane flights often make me sick with something.

I hope Badger has a milder version.  It can be much worse than a cold.

I expect to be going to Kroger later if the neighbor texts me what he needs.

I feel pretty good. Fever is gone. Just really tired. Couldn't sleep last night, so got out of bed at 4 today. Maybe I'll take a nap later.

Courts aren't shut down but also not really hearing cases. I plan to be at home for two weeks at least.

About an hour ago, ten or so police cars roared by outside, variously stopping and going, and a large flatbed truck with some item of equipment on it parked just outside, along with some other construction gear.  The street is still close, we had no warning.  I can't get out any other way except by going the wrong way on a one way.

It's still shut and the large piece of equipment is off the flatbed, but I can't see it anywhere.  It looks like maybe they are grinding off the pavement, maybe, but we usually get a warning about that.  Nothing I can find on line.  I see folks walking by so it isn't some public safety issue.  I see a line of dump trucks south of me waiting.

I guess I'm stuck here unless I walk, which I can do of course.

courts shut down here... unless a trial was already going, that is.  they've put a desk at the entrance to the court house where you state your business, and if it isn't important enough you get a little note that said you were there (if you need one) and are sent back home.   yet, my wife (the atty in the house) still has to show up.

https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/breaking-atlanta-officer-involved-shooting-near-piedmont-park/qIqOhQMq9vEPhKACeu6rvM/

The police apparently shot someone behaving erratically and waving a gun about two blocks north of us.  And at the same time, the E-W street outside us is being ground down before paving starts.  People are out walking by apparently unconcerned.  I wife says she heard three loud noises that woke her up, I heard them and thought something fell over on our deck.

The apparent area of the shooting is a very "tony" residential neighborhood.

As usual, the news "reports" are confused, some saying the shooting was on 11th street, others saying north of us.  I'm surprised to see so many pedestrians out walking their dogs and whatnot.
