President Trump announced on Sunday that his administration will extend its "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines until April 30 in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus, which has now infected more than 130,000 Americans and killed nearly 2,500.

I guess we're off the Easter thing then. Which is probably good.

Perhaps. But we can't stay on lock-down forever.
People need to earn a living. Food has to be harvested and processed. Businesses have to get back to business. Trade has to start again.
It all might have to come down to "herd immunity."
At some point, risk or no risk, we need to get back to as normal as we can achieve under the circumstances.

It hasn't been all bad. Grocery stores are still doing ok, and cashiers are finally getting some of the respect they deserve. Now if we can just get them a permanent pay raise, we'll have made some real progress.
Seems like he's always the last to know.

How do you think that the groceries show up on the shelves?

In my experience they generally arrive on trucks, in massive pallets. Then people unload, unpack, and stock them.

...and they magically appear on the trucks?

Usually they're loaded at the company warehouse.
Like pulling teeth.......oh, wait......
Food production is continuing. My son who is a QA for a major food production plant was issued a badge identifying him employed in an Essential Business to allow him to be on the road at this time.
The plant is working overtime at this point.
Yes, we need to get back to normal but for now lets trust the epidemiologists.
I'm just trying to answer your questions, as someone who works at a grocery store. If you were looking for a different answer, then maybe you should ask a different question?

Better walk away from this one - it looks too painful to continue.Like pulling teeth.......oh, wait......
I think Easter was a reasonable goal when he said it and its still two weeks off. 4 more weeks of economic shutdown might be too much. 3.3 million filed for unemployment last week and that record number will likely be smashed this week. We could have 15-20 million unemployed by the end of April
