Let us know about the farmers market. I am curious about the local Amish market which runs Thurs. - Sat.

The farmers marked website says they will be open with precautions.

I will go by there today to see if it is actually running

Our local community council have just dropped by a letter indicating local services to support us at this time. A number of local shops, a bakery and restaurants are offering doorstep delivery services of goods or meals, and volunteers will be manning a couple of phonelines 24/7 to help those living alone if they're self-isolating, e.g. organising the collection of prescription meds, help with navigating websites, changing gas bottles, offering reassurance or just someone to call to have a chat. Crises like this bring out the best in people, as well as the worst.

That's a great way to respond. Especially for those who are alone! Our daily needs don't change because of this craziness.

I am told by an Italian I know and from some Italian blogs that if you have underlying health problems (I don't know which problems and I don't know if age is a factor) and get the virus the Italian hospitals will not treat you. I don't expect this piece of information will be well publicized.

a separate issue is care homes, whose residents don't even get to hospital: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-h...ep-through-italys-nursing-homes-idUKKBN2152WC

Cuomo announced a few hours ago that non-critical businesses in NYS will be limited to a maximum of 50% staffing. It is not clear the length of time this will be enforced.
Our company will split out the workforce into first and second shift with no overlap and those who can work from home will.

Wow, Perris. That's terrifying.

What kind of guide-line do they have for "non-critical"? Or what constitutes non-criticial? I've been trying to figure that out. Can you work from home, Tonya?

Healthcare, pharmacies, grocery, the supply chain for these and home delivery. The government will issue a more detailed list of the critical business definition.

I can do about half my work from home if IT sets my laptop up for full remote access. I'll get a lot more done there.

One of the state members have said we do have a case of it in our county now
