Nationwide Lockdown

Our state has completely shut down all schools for the next two weeks and most restaurants are only open via drive-thru, no dining in. I'm expecting them to close further as we just had the first death in our state yesterday. Could you share the link you saw about the nationwide lockdown? I know I've seen articles pertaining to Spain, Italy, & France on lockdown, I just haven't seen on for us yet and want to stay as informed as possible throughout this whole thing. As of now, the company I work for doesn't have any plans to shut down

I don't have a link. I just heard from a friend who knows someone who works for secret service and their dad told them that there should be an announcement tomorrow for all non-essential businesses to close for a few weeks. So we'll see what happens.

Oh gosh, now I'm anxious lol. I'm just waiting for the CDC to update the case records for today, they update every weekday at noon. I think Trump said that yesterday that they didn't have any immediate plans for a nationwide lockdown, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if that's changed given how quickly things have escalated. Hopefully we'll know something concrete soon. I also hope things will start to open up in your area soon so that you can get back on track with your planning!

Yea, it's pretty insane. I hope it's not just runaround news. And thanks! I hope I can continue planning too but even though it's giving me anxiety, I know there's more important things surrounding the situation so I'm trying to keep a level head about everything.

The mandatory quarantine rumor that’s floating around isn’t based in fact. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/white-house-quarantine-text/?collection-id=238766


In the US I think most guidelines come from state and local officials and it just depends on where you live. Where I live pretty much all non essential businesses are closed.

Yea, that's what I'm talking about. Apparently where I live, the whole non-essential announcement is supposed to be made tomorrow.

So sorry about your work! I think a lockdown would be possible and probably reasonable, considering the situation. I wish you all the best and keep your heads up!

Thank you!

Well I don't have dress regret but i do have major bustle regret lol. I spent 200 dollars on that thing lol. We are not cancelling the ceremony. I am trying to find a way to still have a reception type. We are only having 37 guest. But I am going to talk to my fh and tell him we are going to tell all outside guest to not come. Its too much of a risk. I can't help but have a big guilt for even having it. I am thinking of the photographer, the priest, the 2 women i hired to sing during the ceremony. I fear that the might get it from a guest that doesn't even show any signs. I wish this was an easy decision.

View Quoted Comment I totally understand. We're looking for some kind of alternative as well. Our ceremony is small too. I've already emailed a few restaurants so fingers crossed.

All you can do is stay flexible and change your plans quickly, and it sounds like you're on top of it!

Sending SO many virtual hugs your way Jasmine!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I definitely needed that. Its going to be rough now that we just got word all non essential businesses are shut down for the next 30 days so I don't know if I'm going to get a response back from anyone in the meantime.
