I manage a Grocery store up your way and we have put many things in place over the last 2 weeks trying to keep our customers and store associates safe. **** plexi glass installed at each register. **** face shields available for associates. **** practicing 6 foot social distancing in the store and especially at the registers **** cleaning the register belts between each order ***** dedicated cleaning and sanitizing associates from open to close cleaning high touch items/areas every hour. ( freezer door handles, cart handles, pin pads, etc) **** removing hand baskets and small shopping carts from the sales floor. Only using large shopping carts help maintain 6 ft distancing. **** removing perimeter displays to help maintain 6 ft distancing. Coming into contact with hundreds or thousands of strangers everyday can be a little scary but people gotta eat lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Finally got some clarification on weather or not we can go and see my daughters pony. But also she sees a therapist for anxiety. She has a Telehealth appt on Thrusday, and going to ask if she can get us a letter stating that seeing her pony is an essential part of her weekly therapy. It is not something I am making up it truly helps her get through her anxiety which is triggered my change. I probably do not need it but I like to cover all my bases. Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel Woodrow Jones III has directed troopers to continue their public education and enforcement efforts regarding the Governor’s Executive Orders and last night issued specific instructions regarding the stay-at-home order. Those instructions are as follows: - Enforcement of the expanded Governor’s Executive Order will be conducted by Maryland state troopers. However, troopers will not make traffic stops simply to ask drivers where they are going to determine if their travel is essential or not. - If, in the course of the regular performance of his/her duties, such as during a crash investigation or a traffic stop, the trooper develops information indicating the individual was engaged in non-essential travel, enforcement action can be taken, in consultation with the state’s attorney’s office in that jurisdiction. - While it is not necessary for drivers in Maryland to have documentation about the purpose of travel, having such documentation may help resolve questions. - Troopers will continue to initiate enforcement action when a business or group of more than 10 people is observed in violation of the Governor’s Executive Order. - The Order does not prohibit people from going to the store to get groceries or prescriptions, seeking medical attention at an urgent care facility, getting cleaning or laundry supplies. In addition, the Order does not prevent people from going out to get necessities for pets or other livestock. - The Order allows for travel to care for a family member, friend, pets, etc. Citizens are also permitted to travel for transporting family, friends, pet or livestock for essential health and safety activities. - The Order also allows for travel to and from an educational institution to receive meals or instructional materials for distance learning. - The Order allows for outdoor exercise activities (done in accordance to with social distancing guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and crowd gatherings of 10 people or less. However, such actives may not be done at a park that has been closed by state or local government. - Restaurants can be visited if obtaining food for carry-out or drive-thru only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I been trying to tell people that those points are the case but people get crazy thinking they’ll get pulled over just for going out the house. It’s not feasible to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one big difference I did see from the order is that now curbside and other pick-up of food from any restaurants is suspended in MD (but not in VA?). Unless I read that incorrectly. That was kind of a shocker, but that may be more temporary, not sure. I believe you can have things delivered...if a place offers that. I had patronized "carry-out" places a couple of times recently just to support them, as I know they're going to really suffer economically.

That's what I get for reading it all too quickly and having my eyes gloss over the part that restaurants are still allowed. Good to know. My apologies for the misinformation in my earlier comment.

I can’t wait to roll out some of the new features, including: snakes on a door! Overall the typical Nina can certainly suck. My best, most memorable snow experiences over recent winters occurred in Ninas though. Back to back at the beach, baby. At least a chase should be within a reasonable distance, whether its the western highlands or the immediate coast. This last winter was an absolute dog for the most part unless you were willing to travel to NY state or NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Changing the subject, some snow porn from a late spring blast here in central Oregon. Had a coating at my house overnight and flurries all day with temps in the mid 30's. However, the higher elevations (above 4500' ) have been pummeled the past 48 hours. Ski resort is closed because of Covid but drove out and took some photos this morning . At least 3 feet of new snow and more than 10 feet on the ground. They are, fingers crossed reopening in May sometime? Base should be fine and more snow is coming. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
