Half of this headline is correct: SGF, Greene County extend stay-at-home orders, allow more curbside, delivery orders
Springfield and Greene County residents will be required to mostly stay at home until midnight May 4 in what leaders called a “half step” toward reopening the community.
Businesses previously deemed “non-essential,” such as clothing stores, vape shops and other retailers will be allowed to take curbside and delivery orders starting immediately.
The “extension” means the mandatory guidance from the local governments now conforms to the date set by the governor, whose ruling superceded the local hide-under-your-bed order. So the extension extends the foolishness to match the foolishness that takes precedence.
The more important, optimistic, and beginning to return to the old new normal is that the authorities are encouraging other small businesses to start minimal operations to begin ramping up to a hopeful burst of healthy economic activity on May 5.
Also, prediction: Cinco de Mayo parties are going to be lit this year.
