I was keeping my distance and had to wait on a few people as they causally browsed through the store. After about a minute I just got the hell out. I was pretty stunned how people were acting and not giving a crap.

The more this drags on the more people will stop caring. I hate to say it but maybe a huge spike in numbers will put the fear god in some folks.

I really just don't know how long this can drag on.

Think about it. You went out just to buy charcoal. That is not a necessity, pretty sure you own another means to cook your food. That being said you have no right to complain about people casually browsing the store. You could be leaving your germs all over the place if you are infected. I don't have a problem with your physical actions or of the others in the store, just your hypocrisy.

No Hypocrisy here. Our oven needs to be replaced and will shut off for hours at a time. I thought it was fixed but Friday night it shut down again. Sometimes it will come back on if I throw the main breaker but sometimes not. My biggest point I was trying to make is that people were not just running in buying what they needed and getting out the were just casually browsing around. This is the first time I have ventured from home and was very surprised.

Sure I could be infected but before I went into the stores I cleaned my hands. I also wiped down the cart and I made sure to stay 6 or more feet from people. When I realized people were not taking an precautions I turned around and left.

Electric or gas oven? They are pretty simple devices, with any DIY skills and basic tools they are easy to fix. Unless of course you have a high end model that has a touch screen and circuit boards in it. This forum has a lot of very knowledgeable people in a boat load of categories.

I'm pretty much a DIY guy. Its the mother board that is acting up. From what I found its a known issue and no real fix and no recall. When cooking moist food that creates steam it some how get into where the main board is located and cause it to shut down. They recommended replacing the door gasket but that helped but didn't fix the problem. Its been working fine until Friday night when it cut off again.

Lets say this country had all the medical supplies we needed, i bet these shelter in place shit wouldn't be going on.

Maryland shut down.

Im somewhat confused and I imagine we will get clarity soon.

I am essential to my company but my company is not an essential business.

Can I go to work tomorrow? Maybe sneak in for a few hours on wed or thurs?

I would just go to work until your company tells you otherwise. Even if Maryland is a heavy handed state and they ticket plus fine offenders, you should have an easy out. A person who disobeys their employer usually gets fired, and I don't think anyone would want to lose their job at a time like this. Pretty sure a lot of businesses will not survive the shutdowns, after this is over jobs may be scarce for a good long while.

Well .. im to a degree a decision "influencer" in my office. Staff has been put on staggered hours last week so that there are less people working close to each other in their cubicles.

Im trying to get the boss to pay them for 30 hours a week even though they would only work 20.

Now, with Hogans order, I think our business is not essential and should be shut down. Boss says we are closed to the public/clients but we can still come in and maintain our staggered hours schedule.

Yes, but is it providing a service to essential businesses? If I was in Maryland they would not shut me down as I am a small machine shop and make parts for food processing and medical applications, of course that is only a small percentage of my business. I would be considered essential. I would assume all my vendors would be considered essential also as without them I could not continue to operate if I could not get supplies. I really think most business could beat the cases in court if it was a gray area whether they should shut down or not.

So maryland is NOT on a lock down?

Just certain businesses are ordered closed like shoe stores.

I can drive to the grocery store. I can drive to visit my mom.
