What is and isn't allowed during a 'shelter-in-place' order

The basics of a "shelter-in-place" order during the coronavirus outbreak are fairly clear: Stay at home.

But as cities, states and the federal government take increasingly aggressive moves to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, the precise details of a shelter-in-place order and its many exceptions for "essential activities" may soon become familiar to millions of Americans across the country.

Already, nearly 7 million people living in a wide swath of Northern California are under a shelter-in-place order, which began Monday night.

On Tuesday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio urged New Yorkers to prepare for the possibility that there could be a shelter-in-place order within the next two days. Whether that actually happens remains unclear, though. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose approval would be required, has repeatedly downplayed such a move.

Yeah, unless someone is making deliveries you can hang it up. Either I get to the store to buy groceries or I go fishing for dinner. Since I'm not a violent threat to the community I don't go to jail. Sorry, this is all a waste of time. Understand and accept some are going to live and some are going to die. You do your best but sitting in the house for 18 months is simply not possible.
