My parents told me that someone from their church sent an email saying that she wanted to attend service today but knew she shouldn't "because of the carnivores".
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The food chain is a harsh mistress.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Welp, there goes New York.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
CA suggests that bars and wineries close, and that restaurants focus on takeout and delivery. I don't think it's an order as such. As far as I know I'm still going into the office tomorrow (it doesn't put me particularly at risk, we don't deal with the public or congregate in large groups, it's just kinda weird against the background of all the other closures)

I'm officially working from home. The libraries are closing for 3 weeks, schools too. Buses won't allow any standing passengers, bars and restaurants have to observe the 2 m. distance between diners. They really need to shut down bars before Paddy's Day or it's going to be a mess.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am waiting on the bus situation. I am essential so I have to go in tomorrow, but if there is no bus there is no going in. It would take me 3 hours and 7 minutes to walk, and everyone has agreed that is crazy. If they need me, they will have to come and get me.

Ask if they'll give you a taxi or Uber voucher. Extreme times call for extreme solutions.
You can imagine how hard it is for stuff to shut down for St Pat's here, but they're going to do it. The Dropkick Murphys are giving a special online concert, though, for free on a number of platforms.
The Globe had a cute article on the people lining up for their essential marijuana needs over the quarantine.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The governor of MA has shut down all restaurants and bars in MA for on site consumption.

I hope meara is able to get back into the country without a multihour screening.

Can you take a cab and be reimbursed for it? It's worth asking, if you're considered essential.
