Did anyone else get their travel permit for the national quarantine?

[fryefan]

there talking potential shut down in illinios. if it happens the only way you can leave your house/travel is with this permit. only selective fields of work gets them. mainly health/medical fields and it. All I know my tradeshow in Chicago April 18 19 20 has been canceled so I see an extension on shut down happening.

We are just at the start of this process. The number of infected people, will rise significantly if they ever get enough tests (which are severely lacking right now).

IF, people would do what they are being advised to do, then that might not be necessary. However, we have drunken idiots congregating on the beaches, and other businesses (like the track in PA that still plans on running) not following the advise of the medical experts that are advising us.

Very good posts fryefan, well said.

Yes I agree. as for 7 days not including weekend I dealt with the FDA at my business for inspection part because I was due for a visit part because of this. An the number of ppl that have it that gets reported by the governor is 2 days behind on being announced. And yes things are serious as 5 tradeshows I was to attend canceled. waiting on the 6th one.

Had a permanent permit on the back of my employee I.D. because I worked at a power generating plant. Allowed me to travel to work during any state or national emergency. Got called out to work a few times during adverse weather events when the governor declared a no travel emergency, never got stopped once. Quit fear mongering.

But if they quit fear mongering what will the bobble head community use as guides to live their lives???be told how to think?what to do? How to act??

Heaven forbid, but they may actually have to think and be responsible citizens all on their own.

I saw Hoosier Tire Midwest is closing for the Illinois Shelter in Place but I would think they would fall under the "Auto Supply" and therefore be considered Essential.

It is thinking like this that will bring on the national quarantine.

[t4g2]

I'd assume they closed the factory because of supply and demand. The have enough over stock. As Bridgestone firestone in my town shut down because of over stock. 400 people laid off.

[turnleftandgasit]

Many factories are closed because we will need those trucks to switch over to hauling products that are needed to keep people alive. The auto plants were closed because they run on a 18 hr inventory. The trucks required for that is many times that of most any other industry. Weight limits have been lifted. Hours of service will be lifted. Nothing racing is essential, even though it seems that way to most of us.
