    Evacuation Warnings should carry a legal responsibility to close all nonessential businesses until the immediate crisis is over.

    Honestly, even the Waffle House manager should hand over the keys to the Fire Chief. Those guys know how to cook, and clean up after themselves, should the need arise.

      If I learned anything durring covid it’s that basically every business is “essential”.

        Yep. Company I work for didn’t miss a day of work because our boss had the HR manager make up a certificate for us to all put in our cars telling the police that we were considered ‘essential’.

        I don’t think we are, but hey ho.

          When I read the shelter in place order from my governor, its definition of “essential businesses” was so broad it would have been shorter to list businesses not covered.

            Exactly. The only thing COVID changed was that all the resturants became carry out only. The only things I can think of that actually closed were bars.
