    Ohio Governor Mike DeWine just extended the shelter in place order to May 1, with additional restrictions. It was set to expire Monday, but now will run all through April (One of Ohio's larger comic cons, Gem City Comic Con, was scheduled for the end of April and just cancelled in the wake of the order). Since the peak in Ohio is still thought to be a week or two away, they will re-evaluate near the end of April and decide whether to extend it further.

      Gov. Kay Ivey ordered Alabama to fall in line as well beginning tonight. I've also heard CostCo will completely close after tomorrow.

      I've also learned that I'm not a fan of working from home (but VERY glad I can).

        Since FLA closed down up 3000 cases and 80 deaths, nothing like shutting the barn doors after the horses get out.

          too many states are not taking this seriously. the AL governor was saying that Alabama won't be like NY, FL, CA etc. Yeah, good luck with that, what a moron

            Not sure when they'll have a vaccine ready. Everyone says something different. University of Pittsburgh says 2 months. Johnson and Johnson says September.

              Fl Gov was saying we won't be like NY. 11,111 confirmed now here. 191 dead. Too many leaders drinking the kool aid.

                the young actor that played the flashback scenes of young Barry in the flash has died. they have not said what from yet, but from what Grant Gustin said in his tribute, I took it as Covid. 16 years old. whatever it was, that is far, far too young. RIP

                  Vintage toys are still doing well. The advice I heard is sit on some cash because if this lockdown lasts another month you will see some desperate sellers Listing good items.

                        Depends on what. I sold a bionic Bigfoot for good money.
                        A Kenner Star wars I was bidding on went for $611. $30 a figure 😱https://www.ebay.com/itm/153878229995

                        We haven't seen the drop off yet.

                            the mayor of NYC has stated schools closed for the rest of the calendar year. however, Governor Cuomo said in a press conference that is not up to the mayor to do and kept referring to it as the mayors opinion only

                              If you're doing cleaning and pairing down your collection, now's the time to sell, maybe a few weeks it'll be time to buy.
