I wish I could stay at home. But I am one of the frontline staff, working as a community nurse. The situation is so unreal

It is somewhat different. Even though I am a Minnesota resident, I winter in Arkansas and am still here. Arkansas is one of the few states that does not have a shelter in place or stay at home order from the Governor. Basically we can come and go as we choose. Don't take this to mean there are no restrictions. Groups are limited to 10 people and businesses that people would congregate at such as bars, restaurants, and health clubs are closed. Places of short term lodging are restricted to essential personnel such as doctors and nurses. State parks and campgrounds are day use only and the national parks are closed. Even if we are a tourism state, tourists are currently NOT WELCOME! There are other restrictions designed to limit spreading the virus but we can still mostly go on living and a number of places of employment are still working. Common sense seems to prevail!!

My state will never become a "ghost town". There are always those that don't follow rules, and they are the ones going to populated areas. People come here to fish, camp and ride the river. My county still has no cases of the virus.

Virginia is another state where the response to Covid has been what I would call "measured," so we don't have the stuff some people claim is going on (no police stopping every person for explanations or anything like that).

The panic kicked in the day that the NBA announced they were shutting down the season. 100% of all paper products were gone from the shelves by the end of that day, and few have returned. There are rumors of toilet paper at a Walmart, but there's a line outside it too long for me to get in yet.

Most of the states businesses shut down, and I suspect this was due more to insurance companies (or fear of them) than anything else. MANY layoffs, firings, and "furloughs" (which is just a softer sounding word used on place of "firings").

I'm officially one of the "essential people," because I fix/maintain the computers that EVERY part of the country use to make EVERYTHING else work.

I was not among the first two rounds of layoffs at my company, so I'm still working 8 hours a day, but now instead of driving fifty miles a day, I have to drive three hundred or more.

We still have traffic jams and huge backups in some areas, I don't know why. News reporting has always been fairly low quality (as in not reporting enough of what's happening, not as in lying per se), so unless something catches fire and sends huge flames and billowing smoke into the air covering half the county, no one says anything about whatever it is.

In my neighborhood, there are people walking dogs and children every day, still smiling, keeping their distance.

We definitely have the same percentage of self-centered jerks as seem to be everywhere. Somewhere in the two to nine percent area, which APPEARS to be larger because as always, the self-centered jerks of the world are VERY loud, VERY energetic, and interfere with as much of everyone else's lives as they can manage to do. It shows up mostly as insane driving (going 100mph and weaving in and out of traffic at all hours), and hoarding.

I've long been a conservative, careful and logical budget shopper, so I already had a stock of toilet paper, and haven't run out yet. Almost out of paper towels though.

Worst thing is, I can't visit with my handicapped child, who isn't able to understand why I can't come.
