EDIT: Added a few key notes
- You CAN go for walks or go out in nature
- You CAN go to restaurants for take-out or delivery. That is good. I was worried restaurants would be deemed non-essential businesses that would have to close.
- Farmers markets are considered essential businesses. I wonder that that means for the Memphis Farmers Market, set to open a week from Saturday?
- Going over to friends’ houses is considered not essential (I’m going to slip a visit in under the wire tonight, but it’s a gathering of far less than 10, even counting trolls)
- Visiting loved ones in a hospital, essential care, or nursing facility is not allowed. I miss my mom but I am glad she did not live to see this. She would be scared to death and so would I.
Y’all take care of yourselves. Back tomorrow with more news. If any of you who have my number visit the Downtown Walgreens and see toilet paper on the shelves, please text me immediately.
