Call it whatever you like, but everybody in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana has been ordered to stay at home. There are exceptions of course. Trips to the grocery store or pharmacy. Traveling to and from work. Trips to check on family members. Outdoor exercise (taking walks, jogging, yard work, hiking etc...)is permitted as long as social distancing practices are adhered to. Trips to pick up essential items such as hardware, and booze (yes, liquor stores are considered essential). Trips to the doctor or hospital etc...
Bottom line: People are holed up inside their homes, and are ordered to stay there unless they leave for one of the reasons listed above. This could go one of two ways. One- families will enjoy the opportunity for some extended together time. The busy-ness of life has been halted and families will be spending inordinate amounts of time together. Two- People will get sick-to-death of looking at each other, and will be at one another's throats. I honestly believe option number one will be the norm, but I'm sure there will be those cases where people simply cannot get along.
And as I mentioned in an earlier post. Don't be surprised if all this togetherness produces a mini baby boom 9 months from now. I predict the hospitals will be inundated with Christmas babies. In fact... Christmas is EXACTLY 9 months from today. Put one and one together, and many times that equals THREE!
I know the graphic below is make believe, but it sure is a funny way of illustrating my point.
