We locals petitioned to have the bridges closed. Grocery stores here are out of many items - TP, cleaning supplies, produce, eggs, milk, and the like. Our hospital here has few beds and very little ability to provide anything more than basic care - it’s a rural hospital. The bars and restaurants are closed and locals would like to be at home,
As of now, we have no COVID-19 cases here and we’d like to delay that as long as possible.
We are a resort community - no reason for anyone to come here except to vacation.
The officials are handling this like a hurricane in terms of re-entry. All residents have a pass to show that you live here. Delivery trucks and service trucks are allowed in. We just need our vacationers to wait a bit while we are all supposed to be home - as the president has asked.
This closure is locals driven and very welcome.
Oh brother. I wonder what a real crisis would look like?
