Sorry, what I meant by tutorial is the brother and I actually used Zoom and he showed me what to click on to do certain things. 
 

Like in order to give an answer you have to know where to click so the brother can see your hand.  Stuff like that.

Thanks..yes, it is "stuff like that" that I need..

I can imagine. In the space of a week so many have already lost jobs and so many businesses are struggling to keep their doors open. 
 

My husband is fortunate to be in an industry that for now seems ok ( finance) but who knows. He will be working from home for the next 2 weeks at this stage. 
 

So much uncertainty,  I feel for those in the world with no hope, so many must be so anxious 😞
 

On a positive note, my sister who has been out of the truth for 30 years is asking questions, admitted that the witnesses have the truth and asked me for a bible. I had a 1 and a half hour witness to her today! Just when almost all other avenues of witnessing have been stopped. Blessing!!! 
 

 

Wow! How wonderful news!

Cuomo mandates all non-essential New York workers to stay home

All workers in non-essential businesses across New York state are required to stay home in an effort to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced at a press conference Friday morning.

"We need everyone to be safe, otherwise no one can be safe," Cuomo said.

"So we're going to put out an executive order today: New York state on pause: Policies that Assure Uniform Safety for Everyone."

"Civil fines and mandatory closures for businesses that don't comply with the new mandate will be enforced, Cuomo announced."

I have yet to see a definition of "essential."

 

Some I understand.  Everyone is staying home and ordering online.  That makes FedEx, UPS, DHL, and other delivery services essential.  I just started working part time at OfficeMax in Ohio and OfficeMax feels they are essential enough to not cut hours or amount of service.  We are still open for walk-ins.  It's business as usual.  Some of that I understand because people are setting up their work from home office and they are getting homeschooling supplies.  On the other hand, how essential is all of this, really?  

 

Things are changing every day.  Right now, though, Bed Bath and Beyond and BAM Bookstores are still open, albeit at reduced hours.  These places really aren't essential, so how long until they are closed?

Gov. Bill Lee: Churches that continue to gather amid COVID-19 crisis are 'risking people's lives' (Tennessee)

 

 

Gov. Bill Lee, known for his strong Christian faith, had sharp words for churches that continue to gather during the ongoing health crisis.

"Quite frankly, they're risking people's lives," Lee said during a Friday morning news conference. "There are ways to worship and there are ways to serve without congregating people. And I'm urging and challenging churches to do just that."

Usually I love Game Stop being the only video game store around. But... They have strictly told the government they're an 'essential' business and refuse to close.

 

... Game Stop is a video game store. It has nothing but video games. You trade in video games. You play demo video games. You pick up and handle video games.

.... It's a breeding ground.

NBC Nightly News is reporting 627 more deaths from the coronavirus in Italy.

Coupled with yesterday's 427 coronavirus deaths,

that means 1,054 have died in Italy in just the past 48 hours.  

 

Our family in Italy need our prayers.

So...my friend has the theory that the world governments are going to pour more and more and more money into the world economies trying to prop everyone up that it will send them broke yet they will claim victory over the virus - where are they going to recoup their losses? Religion.

So...

Especially if some religions ignore Government warnings and fill their coffers at the expense of the government health system.

Navajo Nation shuts down Arizona community due to coronavirus

PHOENIX — The Navajo Nation has ordered the closure of one of its Arizona communities because of the continued coronavirus outbreak.

The Navajo Health Command Operations Center has required the closure, or shelter-in-place, of the Chilchinbeto community to help limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Navajo Nation reported an increase in the total number of positive coronavirus cases to 14 on Thursday, an increase of 11 from the previous day. Navajo County on Friday had only reported three cases.

Following Friday’s closure announcement, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer signed a $4 million appropriation that will be directed to the Navajo Department of Health to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic on the Najavo Nation.

Our BestBuy is on reduced hours.  10am to 6pm.  If an office supply store is considered "essential," then BestBuy is essential.  People are still setting up their home offices or getting their homeschooling set up.  Plus I imagine their GeekSquad service would be necessary to repair any broken tech right now.  Plus gotta buy ink and such.

 

What I'm shocked by are the stores like Bed Bath and Beyond and BAM Bookstores that are still open.  Those really aren't essential services.  Especially a bookstore with people coming in and touching books.  Those books aren't getting wiped down.

Ohio from what I'm gathering is not on the same restrictions as NY,Cali. Wash. or maybe I'm missing something.

Salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors in Ohio ordered closed because of coronavirus

 COLUMBUS, Ohio—All barbershops, hair salons, tattoo parlors, nail salons, and spas in Ohio will be closed indefinitely at the end of business Wednesday amid fears of spreading the novel coronavirus, Gov. Mike DeWine announced at a Statehouse news conference.

"It’s the latest wave of business closures mandated by the Ohio Department of Health in the past week to stem the growing number of cases of the disease, which have surpassed 200,000 worldwide, including 88 confirmed cases in the Buckeye State."

These are helpful.  I'm sure Ohio would be similar.  Thanks!

Yeah, the frustration won't take long to occur resulting in riots. People will miss their old way of life and will not want to conform for long periods on end.

Based on your reply I have to report that chickens and a breeding goat have been stolen from my area in the last few days. Crazy stuff! Cannot believe what's going on!
