I am fortunate that my company is considered agricultural, so I get to keep going to work. The owners have offered me the option to work from home, but my involvement with HR, payroll, and other check writing would still require me to come in often. Our company is even busier than normal because people are also stocking up on pet food.

I checked in with some friends next door in South Dakota. holy shit. they're just closing the casinos that sit on the border with WY today, after the mayor of Deadwood 'pleaded' with them to close. The governor and the city mayors are pointing fingers at each other on which ones have the ability to close businesses. The state officially halted testing last week due to lack of supplies. I think they're back to testing to this week

I suspect that from a business perspective, given their financial struggles, they felt it was worth the risk ( employees be damned ) . Marginal businesses like theirs will likely shutter for good when this ends, despite whatever bailout comes. And actions like theirs will not be forgotten when it comes time to decide who gets aid and who doesn't.
Elsewhere in CA, the mayor of LA threatened to turn off utilities of non essential businesses that defy the closure :

These people are death cultists. If there is any good that will come out of all this, it is that hopefully people will see how utterly fucking monstrous the GOP are and how hopelessly poisoned their voters are. Hopefully people will come out of this realizing that capitalism is completely at cross purposes with LIFE.
We are under curfew and general stay at home orders...yet I’m still seeing tons of people out acting like it’s nothing. The selfishness and arrogance of too many Americans is absolutely appalling.
My wife and I are seriously thinking about moving our family to CDMX when this is all over- it’s really just a matter of if she will be able to continue her career there, and as she does a lot of work with Latin American productions anyway, it’s entirely within the realm of possibility. I’m through with this country. Voting isn’t going to fix anything, we have lost this nation to corporations, billionaires, and fascist capitalists. Coronavirus has blown the facade off.

Truly mind-boggling. I wouldn't trust him to mow my yard, let alone run the country.

Some people are very excited about the $1,200 check on the way, but their feelings may change when the bodies start stacking up in April. We're still just at the beginning of this, and some states are doing almost nothing about it. China and Italy have had it bad, but at least they both finally got very organized and proactive. The lack of federal coordination practically guarantees that we will have a terrible and lasting outbreak.

I’ve been trying to talk my wife into moving to Uruguay for a couple of years. Given the cost of living differential we could retire there immediately. Thanks to prudent governmental investment in the 90s, the country has faster internet than the US and 95% of its energy is from renewables. And a better healthcare system, if that needs saying.
Unfortunately she’s not into it at all. We worked for 11 years to get our careers to a point where we could move back to her hometown in rural NorCal, and moving would mean seeing her family once, maybe twice, per year. (In person of course.)
Plus the social cost might be challenging. I’ve heard it takes about seven years to get completely integrated into a new community, even without a language barrier.

It's not just the lack of federal coordination (as bad as that is). It's also the lack of a coordinated international response. Basically, every country has been left to their own devices. Trump has spent the last 3 years shitting all over global treaties, alliances, and international cooperation. His stupid wall isn't going to keep out a virus.
