Closure of all but essential businesses. Banning of all social events. No pickup basketball, visiting parks, weddings, funerals or other social gatherings.

OK: Critical manufacturing, medical services, grocery stores, child care, banks, media outlets, etc. Those businesses must however, promote social distancing, i.e., people must remain 6ft apart.

Not a lock down order, we can still leave our home to exercise and garden, pick up food, etc.

Minimum of 2 weeks.

Enforceable by law.

He did a good job, IMO, in a positive manner, justified it with rationale. Talked about factories in WA and retooled to produce medical PPE.

Said several times, "together, we will get thought this".

Long as the politicians are listening to the scientists and medical people I don't mind.


Inslee ran for president. He looks like a male model, so much so that voters didn't think he was very smart. His handlers made him wear glasses so he'd look more intelligent.

You're thinking of Rick Perry. Inslee is intelligent.

Posted elsewhere:

Yes but not shelter in place. Restaurants can still do delivery or take out.

Residents can still go outside and ride bikes, walk dogs, go to Dr appts, grocery shop, etc but MUST maintain the 6 foot distance. No basketball games, groups, no socializing at all.

It's not one of the blanket shelter in place orders thankfully.

Governors still have the power to upend Trump if he tries to call off the shutdown next Mon.
