As the US grapples with the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus that has the health care system at a tipping point, a growing number of states are ordering their residents to stay at home.
Despite the White House advising all Americans to practice social distancing, the number of coronavirus cases in the US continues to rise. So governors across the nation are taking stronger action by issuing stay-at-home orders in their states.
By Wednesday, when all 13 current state orders take effect, 133,018,203 people, or 40% of the US population, will be officially urged to stay home.

(35,338 posts)Earlier last week I was going walking in the mall before it opens. The last few days I have been walking
outside on the bike/walking trail or the cemetery a mile out the road. I have been going out for coffee in
the morning and getting carry out for lunch. I think I will skip the carry out food from now on.
