What if I own a diner,

I ate at a restaurant yesterday evening. I was the only one in there. Even if they wanted to stay open it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Send in the National Guard

Chick-fil-A = 0

National guard = 4

From what I understand thay can revoke your license on the spot throw you in jail and have the power to take your building and all Inventory much like a drug bust

I was told this by a bar owner that I know but don’t know for a fact

Here is your answer

Yea, this is getting out of hand.
These small businesses can't handle being closed for long or they'll go belly up.

I'm no medical expert, but a diner or bar with 40 customers at a time has to close up, meanwhile all of the large manufacturing plants are still up and running with thousands of employees interacting, sharing lunch rooms, restrooms, etc.

And, no I'm not suggesting we shut down all the manufacturing plants.

Kid Rod did the same thing in Nashville, TN.  It will be interesting to see how the Mayor of Nashville handles him.  

In New York the State Governor called out the National Guard.  Do you remember when the National Guard shot and killed people at Kent State University?  If you defy the Governor and get people sick by packing them together in a small space not only will you have to worry about the National Guard or the Police but you may get sued by anyone that contracts the virus and then claims that they got it from your dinner when you vioated the Governor's restrictions.  Of course they won't be able to hold court until the virus dies down as the Supreme Court has closed down to protect themselves from getting the virus. Most of the Justices are over 60 and more vulnerable to getting really sick from this virus.  

It's the younger people that are carriers that I have to worry about.  

I saw on TV last night where a gun shop owner in KY was saying that his sales of guns and ammo have increased a lot. I carry a 9 mm myself (concealed of course). But I can reach it in a heart beat and know how to use it.  I'm also stocked up on 5.56 62 grain FMJ bullets for my AR15.  I use to go to the rifle range and practice shooting a lot.  But I didn't like having to clean my guns all teh time.  I gave up fishing in order to go shooting more. 

My recommendation to you is the heed the IN Governors orders.   But I understand  your desire to not go out of business and go broke.  The Government is talking about helping small business with some financial help.  Might wait and see what Mitch McConnell and the GOP in the US Senate and the President come up with as legislation to help guys like you. 

Good point.  This is all new and nothing that we have prepared for.  Remember when they suspected a guy of sending the Antrax bacteria to Senator Tom Daschell's office a few years ago?  That guy was a germ researcher at a laboratory run by the government that did germ warfare stuff.  He later killed himself when they named him as a suspect. Never did know for sure if he was the one that sent the antrax to the Senate Building. But people delivering the mail also got infected and died.  Anyway the said he did it to try to get the Government to pay more attetion to the dangers of biologicla warfare and epitemic in the future.  Evidently we didn't get the message as were are still unprepared for these epidemics and pandemics.  We are not doing a good job of keeping this virus under control as it's expanding around the world at record pace. 

How we stop it is beyound me.  But I would hope that we can work together to defeat this virus. Trump called it a war on the virus this morning. 

This is the 2nd week when they stated 14 days. Everyone should open back up on Monday. Did their civil duty.
