Will the brothels stay open? I mean, you’re already taking a chance, it’s a brothel.

Perhaps these drastic measures are needed...but aren’t people the least little bit concerned that a politician can order businesses to shutdown or curtail their operating hours....I wonder under what law this is allowed..

It’s not just liberal Governors, here in Florida, DeSantis yesterday ordered all bars to shut down for 30 days....you wonder how many will come back after this is all over.

crap...

[CincyRichieRich]

Take notice who was PDJT’s biggest donors and supporters...casino owners...Wynn...et al. I’m sure just a coincidence. Are there any morons left here at Freep, true believers in randomness of this “Chinese virus”? Oh they would never harm themselves on purpose. Really?

Game online. Beats the crap out of casinos if you are serious about it. It’s legal in a bunch of states now. I’m going play Baccarat after I browse FR for a few.

Illegal order. Ridiculous.

Man, the whole stinking world has closed down. I have had some doctor’s offices calling and putting off a couple of appointments I had in the next couple of weeks and rescheduled until April or May. I wonder what Dentist offices are doing, closing down? Our church announced last night we were closed until April or further notice and we are a small church. ALL in Alabama were asked to shut down until this is over. We have started to pile up the cases now, but the mass is in Birmingham, with other counties having a few scattered cases. Bham is the problem since it is the largest city and county.

These cascade effect closings are more about collapsing the economy than containing the flu...

...this is cloward-Piven strategy modified for economic warfare.

[Zhang Fei]

The interesting thing about this order is that the casinos with Macau operations should do just fine. Well over half of their profits come from those divisions, which are open for business. They will help these companies survive the shutdown.

[Beagle8U]

Its no big deal, just the flu.
