A lot here has shut down, but I'm just south of DC and there is still way too much traffic out and about the couple of times I've had to get something or go to work. Even if they're not, everyone here thinks they're essential (egos). My wife is one of the ones going stir crazy and wants to go out and about. Yesterday she took a drive just to drive and get out of the house. Our street has had a lot more walkers too, but luckily everyone keeps their distance.

I'm worried about the economics of everything when this is all over. More unemployment claims reported than other period in our history. Its going to have a shockwave effect going forward. Prepare yourselves. I hope none of you/us lose jobs over this.
