So will all this end in a controlled manner or will people begin to break ranks and say the hell with it, we're going back to work?

People may be ready to go back to work and take their chances but any legitimate business owner would not chance going against a directive to be shuttered. That would open them up to incredible liability.

That would open them up to incredible liability. Some type of legislation to protect businesses from residual impacts would not seem out of the question. If so, it may likely end just as it started, with individual state governments taking their own action. However, this time it will be to help people get back to work. I don't believe there's any question the current administration would be far more likely to allow them that freedom. There's little doubt the next big debate will be is it time to let people return to work.

We need to open back up for business and let people make their own decisions about social distancing. Economy can’t take much more of this.

Soon. I was out yesterday and the streets looked like any other Sunday afternoon. I checked car after pickup truck and saw nary one single face mask.

Yes, people will start to break protocol and even try to open their business back up. I think by the end of April we will see that.
It will be bad for many reasons, mostly because I think it will result in stricter (draconian) restrictions for all.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

I think Hobby Lobby already tried and failed. Not only were they shut back down, they didn't get the community support for their efforts either.

It depends on where you are located. Some places have literally closed down, other have but not as much. Find some of the live cams, you will see almpost no traffic on some places. others look abandoned.
The casinos in Ruidoso are closed, most of the downtown area is also shut down. Traffic looks like it people either going to are coming back from the Walmart/ Received a letter today from the village of Ruidoso, out of town visitors must self quarantine for 2 weeks.

Kind of funny considering the grocery stores, home depot, lowes, staples, costco and other box stores are open. I guess it depends on your market cap as to whether or not you are "essential".. that and the left has been trying to shut Hobby Lobby down for years, this just gave them the excuse.
This cannot be fixed at the voting booth.. Wake Up You Morons!

I bet there have been more robberies, break-ins, etc. I saw a news clip about a week ago showing miles of cars in line for a food bank. I think it was in Ohio.

For sure, dfw is not normal as far as traffic, but groceries are still pretty busy. I went out today to get Dr. Pepper, someone might say that isn’t essential but my daughter will say it’s as essential as the saltines I got for my wife for chili tonight. Essential in a first world country takes a different meaning.
It’s times like this I feel happy I live in the burbs. Would not want to be downtown right now.
Not gonna take much more than a spark to get people to start stuff. What that spark will be....that’s the question.

Dog catcher, riots and stuff rarely if ever start in the burbs. I wouldn’t want to be stuck in a smallish apartment either...no thanks. I will take my yard and ability to move a little. Just stating my opinion

A regular parking lot of folks having to wait there turn in line. Was tempted many times to take a picture of it. Now I wish I would have done it. Interesting times.

I think in may Trump will be practically ordering people to go back to work,to avoid even more damage to the economy. I just don't see the death toll statistics rising at a rate that would justify the actions you mentioned.

I've never been one to hoard anything but other people are forcing me to feel like I'm hoarding now. I used to buy 12 rolls of toilet paper every 2 weeks and 3 rolls of paper towels but now I find myself buying toilet paper every time I can find some. I've always felt that there's no reason to hoard food and we would make a weekly trip to grocery store but heck that's changed now too. I feel like I have to buy things so IF we have to shelter in place or everything closes down for a limited time I make sure my family and neighbors will be able to make it through this with no concerns. I work for a water supply company, we're considered "essential" I have 2,443 customers that want to turn on their water faucets and fill their glasses. I have split my field operators and office ladies up we're working 2 and a half days a week and we have one guy on call in the evenings. Everyone is still getting their 40 hours of pay, but I have one employee that complained about this schedule. Due to him being bored at home. His wife is an er nurse and is on the front lines fighting this virus, so in my opinion he's has the greatest chance of contracting the illness. I think I did the right thing. Does anyone agree or disagree and why??
