Just went out to run some errands including hitting the pharmacy and the grocery store. In Florida they ordered all restaurants to close except for delivery plus closure of gyms and physical fitness centers. That was around 5 o’clock

I’m now wondering if or when it’s going to take affect because I just traveled quite a ways in multiple directions and the traffic was heavier than normal and most of the restaurants I saw were not only open but had plenty of people inside of them.

drove 30 miles after work to my favorite locker for the (8) fresh cut rib eyes for the party at my place Saturday night

a huge sign in the parking lot, another very large sign outside the door, and a large sign just inside the door,  all state: "Only One Person per vehicle in the store!"

wasn't helping at all - the owner was asking folks to step out and wait in the car.

a guy showed up and bought one package of beef sticks - he was scolded at the checkout.  Not a good enough reason to be out and about for one package.

good people and not obviously stupid, just hard to get used to the idea.  Especially when there's not a confirmed case within 100 miles of your small town

Got take out from our favorite local place in town tonight.  Owner thanked me profusely.  Even insisted on having me drink a beer at the bar on him while I waited.

Took my daughter to Wal-Mart because she was freaking out because she needed a folder for a research project that is due when (if)  they go back in a couple of weeks.  They actually had a few packages of TP.  I bought one for the hell of it.

So, if you're out and about, and they arrest you under some charge I can't imagine, they throw you in a crowded jail with 25 other people?
I spoke to a jailer. In our county they are limiting the overnight arrests of people to the extent possible, and when they are brought in, instead of placing them in a cell, they are putting them in the "rec" room, which is devoid of any equipment, and not mixing new inmates with the longer term inmates. We have an older jail a bull pen for about 5-10 inmates, and about 5 individual cells with bars. Our law enforcement is dispersing new inmates who must be held overnight, to other area county jails that are newer style jails with the pods surrounded by "dorm rooms." But the dorm rooms can house up to 6-people. I don't know how much separation modern jails are actually keeping between inmates, although I do know the use of the capacity in the newer jails is on average one-sixth to one-third of capacity in this area of rural NE Iowa. So many of these jails were built on the hope that federal inmates would be housed there, that would pay for the jail. These counties were drinking the Kool-Aide of unjustifiable hope for a windfall profit.

Peace officers are not being dispatched to first responder calls unless they are required to maintain security.

Courts are allowing defendants more time now before inmates must report after conviction to serve their sentence. We are using more teleconference and videoconference with the Court. Felony pleas can now be taken by written plea rather than in-person plea (we have had written pleas for misdemeanors my entire legal career at the state level).

A crowd of 20 or so had gathered last night outside the Nook because they were making mixed drinks.  The police asked them to disperse, so the crowd went across the street into the park, drinks in hand (which is  technically illegal), still a crowd standing around or sitting on benches in close proximity.

The issue is if his becomes common the mayor will shut down whatever is still open.

The average person around this area is 30ish with a dog, couples have a young kid., and of course a LOT of singles.  Some of the latter are nice to look at, I hear, I of course don't look so I wouldn't know.

singles are gonna mingle

police should have gone into the park and asked them again to disperse - explaining (perhaps again) the mayor's motivation

no reason to have a few ruin this for the entire community

I just got an email message from Publix (grocery chain serving Florida). They are reserving the hours between 7 and 9AM for seniors to shop.

10,000,000 seniors in two hours - store empty rest of day.
