Guess I was wrong! "Attained +1 Homebound"

In my defense, I'm not a lawyer, but the law as I looked at it said that the state of emergency should not exceed 30 days, which was the basis for my answer to question 15 here. Apparently there's some caveat that gives the governor authority to extend that, because the governor just announced an extension of stay-at-home until the end of May. Though this is the route to a slow reopening, it looks like--state parks slowly reopening, more businesses allowed to open and businesses that can't open allowed to provide in-store pickup, masks required (finally), etc.

Edit: Apparently he's doing this by saying that it's a new emergency, not an extension of the old one. This seems extremely fishy to me, but again, I am not a lawyer.

The AMA already extended work-from-home until then, so my personal circumstances won't change much. I'm getting pretty worried for my friends who have lost their incomes, though. This is a hole that it will probably take them years to dig themselves out of, if they ever can. They can't just stay home if they have no money, and the Republicans are talking about the deficit because they don't want people to realize that a strong social safety net is possible and, in fact, other countries already have one.

Still pretty sure I'll get sick eventually, but not until fall, it looks like. 🧿
