If you get it from a grocer you should be OK waiting. But if you get it from a liquor store, I'd go tonight just in case they start shutting down non-essential businesses.

I need some bourbon and scotch.

Well, like I said, if you get your liquor from a liquor store I would pick it up tonight just in case.

Maryland today closed all malls and other large entertainment venues that are similar. (105 cases versus 125 for ohio)

the one local liquor store is now doing window service to your car and encouraging people to call ahead.

Local brewery is doing crowlers and call ahead.

Honestly I would be shocked if ohio shut down liquor stores/breweries. Thats just asking for trouble at this point

edit: So to give some background Ohio and Maryland have pretty much stayed in lock step with each other in how they have handled things with coronavirus. Both shut down all schools on the same day, both announced closing of bars and restaurants on the same day, and there have been a couple of other things. So I would not expect ohio to take a large step today, after maryland only made a small one. Especially as from a case perspective both states are similiar

Slovenia- nation wide quarantine starting at midnight.
Stupid people couldn’t stay away from others.

In fairness the women from that part of the world are so hot it's understandable social distancing would be tough.

At least we know this isn't a stupid American thing and is, instead, a stupid human thing.

Our county in PA has 8 new cases today. One case is a 1 year old.

In Ohio liquor is only sold in liquor stores. Some are located inside grocery stores but they're separate, blocked off, state licensed stores themselves.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Also wondering. Debating if I should run and get my booze tonight.

The answer is always do it, and do it one day before everyone else realized it.

Italy's death numbers are crazy high compared to everyone else. One wonders what the big difference is. Predisposed? Hygiene? Some cultural thing like kissing hello? Are their doctors doing something wrong? It's just such a stark contrast compared to anywhere else.

It will be interesting to see how that progresses. One would have to think it’d wind up being much higher than Ohio given the number of international travelers that would pass through Maryland.

Has to be the cultural thing and and kissing of the cheek. I mean, what’s the number one thing every report says to stop the spread? Don’t touch your face.

I have a feeling Italy is going to get really, really ugly based on this one simple fact.

Lack of medical equipment/massive surge.

They simply don't have enough to deal with their infected.

The death numbers are frightening. Basically a 50/50 at this point of surviving if you contract it in Italy.

I was under the impression it was because not everyone who needed it got a ventilator? They just put people in beds and they die. They are just over capacity with how fast everyone got sick.

Lack of ventilators. They only have 3000 for a population of 60+ million.

They also brought up cultural stuff on the news on why Italy is currently so bad. They brought up how people are so use to going out every night. The other was they want their food fresh every day so they are still going to the grocery store daily.

The fresh food thing is very European. I lived in a small town in Europe as a kid for a short time and we didn't have a grocery store, people's daily food came from local small businesses. A bakery, butcher, candy store, etc were all in the town and there was a truck from the grocery chain that came once or twice a week to sell the things the town didn't have.
