i was thinking more of the workers earning wages instead of being laid off that pay income taxes on the wages and sales taxes on the stuff they buy.

also thinking the state may want to keep them working rather than laid off which is bad for unemployment figures.
No state income tax here. Most of the Amazon, Apple and Tesla workers spend most of their paycheck on housing because there is a big shortage.

At this point the State is really concerned about people dying and there are over 7,000 thousand that work at Tesla and they live all over the city and county so the possibility of community spread is huge. Amazon at least is delivering things that people need to survive but same thing there but with a smaller workforce than Tesla.

Well tomorrow 5PM my county put in order to shelter in place, not that anyone in our house gets out much. Thankfully it's it hasn't been super crazy in the stores, supplies are still there and being restocked, just need to get my hands on some toilet paper at some point. Hope everyone is staying safe out there.

I didn't get my 2020 Census until today. I thought it would be very complicated and time-consuming but no, it wasn't. Super simple and quick. The website worked flawlessly. Not particularly intrusive either. Certainly a far cry from previous censuses of the past.

how does that affect restaurants? is there exception to pick up or deliver restaurant food or is the grocery store the only food exception to shelter in place?

I'm thinking shelter-in-place is going to come here as long as teens-30s people continue to dominate the new cases. Surprisingly 60+ year old positive cases are uncommon.

It's basically stay at home and don't go out unless absolutely have to. Essential government operations and essential businesses will remain open, including grocery stores, gas stations, and banks. I'm assuming certain restaurants are open for pick ups give or take. I just hope this works, we're at 7 confirmed case for the time being.
