Most likely all 80 school districts in the county will comply. I know that ours has already made the announcement, and expect the surrounding districts to make the announcement soon. About the only things still open are the county libraries, and who knows for how much longer that'll be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Statement by the Department of Defense on Domestic Travel Restrictions Today, the Deputy Secretary of Defense David L. Norquist approved new travel restrictions for service members, DoD civilians, and their families assigned to DoD installations, facilities and surrounding areas within the United States and its territories. This restriction will halt all domestic travel, including Permanent Change of Station, and Temporary Duty. This restriction will also pause civilian hiring at DoD installations and components for persons who do not reside within the hiring entity's local commuting area. Additionally, service members will be authorized local leave only, following Service guidelines. This new guidance is effective March 16 and continues through May 11. Similar to other travel guidance regarding COVID-19, travel exceptions may be granted for compelling cases where the travel is mission-essential, for humanitarian reasons, or warranted due to extreme hardship. Approval authority for these exceptions belongs to the Combatant Commander, the Service Secretaries, the Chief Management Officer, or the Director of the Joint Staff, but may be delegated. The Department will continue to issue additional guidance with regard to the COVID-19 as conditions warrant. Our goal is to remain ahead of the virus spread so our military force remains effective and ready. For more information on the CDC travel restrictions, visit https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/. We encourage all DOD personnel to visit https://www.defense.gov/Explore/Spotlight/Coronavirus/for information on staying healthy during the outbreak. The Department will issue follow-on guidance on this directive prior to implementation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (Buffalo, NY) - In light of the serious health risks to vulnerable populations posed by the novel coronavirus, and to prevent widespread infection, Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger temporarily dispenses the Catholic faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus threat. Until further notice, Catholics of the Diocese of Buffalo should use their prudent judgment as to whether or not to attend Mass. Older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and family members of such individuals should take special care in discerning the best course of action to avoid exposure to large groups of people. At this time, Mass will continue to be offered publicly as announced or scheduled, contingent on emergency governmental restrictions regarding larger gatherings. All other parish events and larger celebrations, including Confirmations and Lenten penance services, must be postponed until the end of March out of an abundance of caution. Further guidance will be provided regarding April and May as developments become clear. https://www.wnycatholic.org/news/article/featured/2020/03/13/103900/bishop-scharfenberger-dispenses-catholics-from-sunday-and-holy-day-mass-obligation-due-to-coronavirus-threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all would love to see Trump out of office so they can do business as usual with Joe and his handlers. At a minimum, Joe would outlaw fracking as weaken our military. Xi’s buddies haven’t gotten much in return yet from their $1Billion investment in Hunter Biden. Joe wants to put us all back in chains of energy dependence, being a Second rate world power, Leading from behind, and good old Carter era malaise and misery. He is a useful idiot for powerful interests not all of whom reside inside our borders. Make America Weak Again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who try and compare it to the flu and ignore how quickly it can overwhelm health systems in other countries and the only effective way to stop it has been total lockdown. Here, the smart states like my Ohio will try partial lockdown in hopes of avoiding a full lockdown to flatten the infection curve. Proud of DeWine for leading the way on this. Not sure it's enough but it's early in the infection curve, so it will hopefully work.

Yep, shut down a country over a virus you probably don't know you have unless a test tells you so. Hard to overrun the healthcare system when the symptoms are so mild most people don't know they have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Emergency is a natural by product of how things have progressed. It doesn't equal hysteria. However, none of that had to do with your original post that I responded to. Your rambling on and on about Trump being unfit because he hasn't been tested is what I was referring to. Of course, you know that.

Trump emerges as oil's white knight after worst week since 2008 Crude prices have fallen to record lows By Suzanne O'HalloranFOXBusiness The battered U.S. oil market may have just received a lifeline from President Trump after crude prices posted the worst week since 2008 hugging the $31 per barrel level, down 48 percent so far this year. Trump, as part of his national emergency declaration to combat the fallout from the coronavirus, greenlighted the Department of Energy to step into the market as a buyer. “Based on the price of oil I have also instructed the Secretary of Energy to purchase, at a very good price, for large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. Strategic Reserve, we are going to fill it right up to the top, saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars and helping our oil industry,” Trump stated on Friday. The move, according to Phil Flynn of The PRICE Futures Group, should boost oil prices from historic lows. “This could send prices back into the $40s if the buyers are there,” said Flynn, who is also a FOX Business contributor, when reached for his reaction. “They [the U.S.] can buy oil at the lowest price in years,” he added. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is the world’s largest supply of emergency crude oil, as described by the DOE, and was established as a backup facility to protect the U.S. in the event of market disruptions or potential shortages. https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/oil-market-gets-white-knight-after-worst-week-since-2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
