We have had a Stay In Place order since the 23rd. Don't know how it is where you folks are but I don't know anyone that isn't working other then my barber. Had the lawn care guy show up yesterday, today the tree guys are chewing up a downed tree next door. Very few businesses are actually closed, all the dollar type store are open, Tractor Supply, HD, construction projects, even the car lots are open. After 3 weeks inside I feel like I'm wasting my time.

Hollybee...I think those reports you've been getting are grossly inacurate.
Here's an article from today's NYTimes should provide a clearer picture of how things are going in NY.

TP hoarding started well before restaurants closed. That may contribute now but was not the cause.

Why are these people afraid to speak up if this is true. I have not heard anyone else say on FB or other public forum that everything is okay out there. I'm confused because if I knew something was being covered up, I would be all over social media. Is this your intent here, to spread that information and are you willing to go out and about without protection?

Down here everything is shut down, even barbers in their own home....gas stations and food stores open, limited hours. Banks are closed except drive thru....

I hope this thread on the Escape forum does not go down the same road as a similar thread on the FGRV IE : From honest advice and helpful medical information to an attempt to push one’s personal agenda
God bless and stay safe

I had read that the Navy had set up rules for any patients that it would get. One of which was that they would not take a patient directly and another was that they would not take a patient from a hospital that had patients infected with COVID-19. This effectively was a Catch-22 and therefore they weren't getting the patient load that everyone expected. The Navy has since changed the rules.

And now the Navy Ship Comfort has COVID-19 positive patients

As to hospitals being empty-
In some areas hospitals are planning ahead for a Covid-19 peak and not scheduling routine and elective procedures. That means that until the disease gets near its peak in that area, they are likely lower than usual on patients. But it is still smart.

Wow, this comment beggars belief. Hope the psychiatric wards are still open.

Don’t feed the trolls. There is no other solution.
My wife told me she had called the two gardeners we use to come by today, to do some yard work. My reply was, are you crazy? We are sheltering in place. I have plans to survive this thing.
Even if, though, being already half through my seventies I am the last one here, no food is available, the government and all responsible authority has disintegrated, and utter chaos reigns for those of us left. I asked her, how could we know where those two gardeners have been the last weeks?
The story of contagion is vile. In 1826 Mary Shelley wrote “Farewell to the giant powers of man,” in ”The Last Man,” her book. The book was set in the 21st century. It was about a disease that had ravaged the world. It imagined the extinction of the human race by way of a human pandemic.
In 1722 England Daniel Defoe wrote that the government is keen to contain public panic of the then current black plague, by suppressing the publication of books. Reading was evidently going to breed panic. One in five Londoners died anyway.
Edgar Allen Poe wrote about the Red Death in 1842. Jack London wrote “The Scarlet Plague” in 1912, a pandemic that wiped out nearly everyone, “the high and the low, the powerful and the powerless.“ That plague came in 2013. A lone survivor lived alone in an old hotel at Yosemite, living off canned food until he emerges in 2073. Albert Camus, Stephen King, others I am sure, all observed the incapacity of man to understand suffering they cannot see.
There are five words to remember. You may otherwise contract the most serious strain of the virus, which can result in death by suffocation. They are, “Don’t panic, wash your hands.” Ok, make that seven: “A lot.” Your chances improve if you get a milder infection. Don’t count on it.

What is the source of your reports?
More than 122,000 cases in NY state according to the NYT this afternoon. The hospital ship has few patients due to administrative screwups, not for lack of need. Can't speak to situation in TN.
