Gov. John Bel Edwards said Monday that all bars, gyms and movie theaters will close in an effort to keep coronavirus from spreading.
Restaurants will be limited to delivery and drive-thru orders only.
Edwards said on Twitter:
“Today, I am taking additional measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by further limiting gatherings to fewer than 50 people, closing casinos, bars & movie theaters and limiting restaurants to delivery and drive-through orders only.
"More aggressive steps are necessary to fight the spread of COVID-19 across Louisiana. These limitations were difficult to make, but they are necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19, protect the health of Louisianans and flatten the curve.
"These changes are effective statewide at midnight. Operations may be able to resume on April 13, however, the situation will be reevaluated seven days prior.
"What we’re learning is that it can take two weeks for symptoms to appear. We believe we are still unearthing community spread that’s been around for the past several weeks, which means it is a statewide problem that requires statewide solutions.
Louisiana bars closed?
Heresy!!
Apostasy!!
This will not stand!!
Send in the gators!1
All the Rat govs are jumping on the panic bandwagon.
They can say they got out in front while Trump fiddled.
Everyone is trying to one up each other in the Hysteriathon. Tank the market, blame Trump, win in November.
Funny how we’ve been here before.
Well so much for our upcoming trip to N’awlins.
“...Gov. John Bel Edwards said Monday that all bars, gyms and movie theaters will close...”
I don’t think the coonasses (no offense intended) will mind closing the gyms and theaters.
What if they refuse to close? I no authority for a gov to shut down legal private businesses out of “an abundance of caution”
Oh yeah. Tell those coonasses they can’t go to the bar because 65 old people died in a nation of 300 million. The Wuhan Scam is gonna blow wide open.
A whole lot worse viri floating in the sewers of NO than corona...
I smell a RAT in all of this............
What about shutting down the government? Seems to me they are the ones that need to be sent home.
The rats in general have started a death match with President Trump. They are creating a panic and depression so they can install FDR2 in November.
“they can install FDR2”
Yeah. That’s exactly what it sounds like.
All the BS about market control, federalization...it’s 1934 all over again. They’re wetting their pants about it.
The bayous will still be rockin’! There’s freedom still to be found.

Yep the Cajuns will find ways to enjoy life
no matter the interferences

Amusing comment, I grew up in far West Texas and far South Louisiana, Lafourche Parish.
In those bars in West Texas and South Louisiana about 1/4 of the patrons would be old codgers like myself today. I was young in those bars once years ago. Those old guys will not stay home unless you put a gun in their face. They have lived their life and kinda say, “what the hell.” Not that I approve but that is reality. The young are not at great risk, it is old codgers such as I that are.
Due to my medical background I am smart enough to stay at home with one exception Wednesday March 18th. We have bible study on Wednesday. Most of us are between 60 to 80 years old. We are high risk for this disease. Last Wednesday I spoke briefly to our group and it was not heeded. I do know of which I speak.
This Wednesday I will speak again and give them statistical knowledge of the dangers of our group meeting until this is over. Our group is small but old. Statistically if one of us were infected we could lose 1 or 2 of our group. This is an unacceptable risk.
The risk to those below 60 is not great and I do not worry about this. I worry about the old and those with other medical problems and in particular repository problems or immune deficiency.
Another thing to be considered of great importance is many are on immune depressants for rheumatoid arthritis and those that have received transplants. Those with rheumatoid arthritis would be wise to stop therapy until this thing is over based on their physicians advice.
Those receiving immune suppressants for transplants must not stop, least they suffer tissue rejection.
“repository”
should read as respiratory. Our spell check correction made my comment seem most odd to say the least. I apologize. My comment had not one damn thing to do with suppositories, I promise. :(
Probably gonna be some folks ‘sheltering in place” in their favorite watering holes...they can call it a “Hurricane” party.
The continuing attack of the Democratic governors on the economy
In May 2008 we had the oil price shock that started the first dominoes falling for the crash of 08. Standard election year crap from the Democrats
