All the food delivery services are hiring; shortage of drivers for UberEats, Grubhub, etc.

I work for UPS, the government let us know last week that we are and will be considered essential. We will not close.

Connecticut, Oregon and Pennsylvania all also on lockdown. Florida still open but the Keys are going on lockdown tonight. But it's okay, just keep your head in the sand, you'll be fine.

Those three states have an EO for a shelter in place. "lockdowns" only exist in Hospitals, School shootings, and prisons.

Just because your Facebook group calls it a lockdown doesn't mean you need to run around spreading such an utterly stupid arse rumor.

What I’ve learned by reading your post the past few days is that you’re the dumbest mfer that post on this site.

Even OweO and PeeJ can’t take that away from you.

Sadly, Amazon has slowed way down, Prime deliveries are scheduled out 5-6 days now, not sure if it's the fulfillment side or delivery side that's being slowed down.

Amazon isn't really slowing down. They're moving massive amount of product. They're just flattening their curve. The demand is like holiday season or worse. People are using the hell out of them for items instead of going out. shite, Amazon's trying to hire 100,000 temporary workers to meet demand.

Supply chain has already been noted as essential.

That depends on the warehouse. I work in the apparel DC of Wal-Mart and the volume has come to a screeching halt. They are holding back and making sure the stores get all the food essentials first.
