NY, NJ and CT have coordinated an 8:00pm-5:00am curfew in all three states. Non essential businesses must close by 8pm.
Gyms, movie theaters, restaurants that do not offer take out or delivery, bars, nightclubs are all closed indefinitely.
My job has me working from home indefinitely. People seem to think that this will all blow over in two weeks, but without access to testing there are probably hundreds of people running around right now who are infected and have no clue or aren't seeking medical treatment for whatever reason (like undocumented people may be scared to go to a hospital because of ICE). We are nowhere near the middle of this.
This is going to get bad and even more draconian measures will probably be taken if people do not heed the warnings and stay at home, I'm thinking all businesses outside of supermarkets/pharmacies/liquor stores will be closed sooner than later. Unless I have to go buy food or supplies, I'm staying in the house.
