I hate spreading rumors but******
many state police officers are collecting near I-70 and Holt Rd. Interchange.
Could it be a 5pm shutdown of I-70? I would have expected more at I-465 and all major incoming routes.
My grandson told me yesterday that serious travel restrictions were coming this weekend. No idea where he heard it.
It sounds like a panicked rumor.
I think one thing I've learned from this, we've given state governors way too much unchecked emergency power.
When this is over we need to petition our lawmakers to cut off a lot of this unchecked authority. It's not going to be easy but we can do it if we stick together.
One thing to remember through this, the government does not have the manpower to control the masses if we wish to resist any unjust orders. If you must go somewhere to help someone or yourself or you need to go somewhere (last I checked my freedom I dont need a ****ing reason to want to go somewhere) do it. ****'em.
If I'm not out coughing on people, or robbing or looting then I'm not hurting anyone. Just like if you go out during a storm though, do so at your own peril. If you get into a wreck or stranded, don't cry if no one comes to rescue you. You either want freedom and the self reliance that comes with it or you don't.
I don't need anyone to be responsible or risk themselves for me. I got this.

Philosophical question: Does it matter which disease a terminal patient dies from?
Does it matter if my Uncle dies of stage 4 lung cancer or covid-19? Or if my granny expires from advanced dimentia, or covid-19?
I've seen cancer patients die before, and I can't imagine covid-19 is whole lot worse than what they went through.
Just my thoughts.
I may be out of my mind here, and time will tell, but I'm not expecting China style armed patrols pushing you at gun point back into your house. I'm expecting that people will behave mostly rationally and stay home without being forced to do so at gun point. If you need to go somewhere, go. If you don't, stay put.
These "lockdowns" aren't aimed at you. You're not a moron. You know how to act already. These are for the stupids that will be out doing all manner of ridiculous things that they don't need to be doing... like scouring 10 counties trying to buy all of the toilet paper.
I could be wrong about all of this and am open to saying I was wrong later, or some "I told you so", but since this is the first time in my 41 year history with the state of Indiana, I don't really feel that these powers are being abused and it doesn't look like anybody is taking this lightly.
We had a young person come into my shop today, fresh off the beach from spring break, who was sicker than ****. He had no concerns about any of this virus stuff, and was pissed his precious spring break was interrupted. My wife sent a fax for him, then promptly disinfected the whole lobby .... again. I didn't find out about it until after he was gone; probably a good thing, as I might not have been nice to him, being he was obviously sick. SMH, and tempted to close down even before it becomes mandatory.

they say u can’t really keep something that big a secret
OK so are we talking about a "stay at home" order? Where you can still leave for "essential things"... and pharmacies, grocery, etc... are excluded, and remain open...
The only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead. I hear Hitlary subscribes to that theory
Just a tiny note about commercials on tv.
The advertising industry is pretty much shut down.
You will most likely soon(if not already)see add for say wearing a seat belt sponsored by another state(not Indiana).
Why? To fill air time of canceled commercials.
It may take a few weeks to sort out.
A pint of Jack Daniels and she looks 22.
Shoot, if Neil Young can marry Daryl Hannah......
His music is still great. Her looks? Not so much.
