You could face jail time, $1,000 fine for breaking Murphy's 'stay at home' order

Police will be cracking down on those who break Gov. Phil Murphy’s statewide “stay at home” order that bans public gatherings and closes non-essential businesses, New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Monday.

Authorities will target businesses, like bars or stores, that stay open despite the governor’s demand, Grewal said during a news conference. They will also look for citizens who, for instance, throw a party at their home and invite dozens of people.

The exact charge will depend on the crime. But a disorderly person’s offense is punishable by up to a six-month prison term, a fine of up to $1,000 or both, Grewal’s office has said.

I guess Murphy's Order sounds better than Murphy's Law.

NY....

One of my coworkers died today from #COVID19. Not much older, great guy. We were just sitting together a couple weeks ago, talking about whatever. The next time I saw him, he was admitted to the ICU. And that was the last time I saw him.
My whole body feels numb.

I’m sorry old friend. Long time no see. It’s a sad situation for so many compassionate caring Websleuthers such as you (thank you for everything you did for Lucas ) to come together. I’m so sorry to hear of your coworker’s passing. You’re doing a great job here and providing a selfless service for others. Please take care everyone.

Me too my friend.....I feel nauseous 24/7....

After listening to Gov. Northam in Va. Today, I threw up. Yes, he gave an incorrect number for food assistance. Refused all direct questions from the media. Encourages churches to close but does understand some feel the need to gather and pray. Take a walk in the park. Closes the beauty shops and movies a but keeps the liquor stores open.

He has ALL Dept. of VA State government ring into a call center, with no answers.

How can this man do this to VIRGINIANs and he's not even born and raised here? He sure fooled us!!!

So depressed....loosing hope....Moo

Too little, too late. Louisiana will be a train wreck, right after Florida.

No problem if you get arrested for disorderly conduct, they are letting everyone who is nonviolent out of jail anyway.

Drinking same koolaide as Virginia governor Nothing Northam.

Tensions flare on Senate floor as coronavirus bill derailed for second time by Dem objections


"Emotions ran so high on the floor before the vote that at one point Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., implored colleagues to take a breath and focus on the work.

“We’re going to get this done today,” Durbin said. “Everyone take a breath. Everyone is emotional today, but we’re going to get this done. We have a job to do.”

Glad to hear there are still voices of reason. Hopefully, common sense will prevail.

Decided this coming Wed to head home from San Antonio, TX to Minnesota. Need to be with family and MN health care. Not much open in SA, but not much open in MN either. Toss up. Minnesota won.

Be aware that some Interstate rest areas were closed in Nebraska and Iowa the other day because people were stealing toilet paper. Truckers complained loudly and I think the solution was to put attendants at all of them but be prepared. I think all truck stops are open in both states. We have to do our part to keep nation's supply chain open.

Just heard on my local Police Scanner that LE is checking people's temperatures before they book them.

Very prudent and hopefully is taking place everywhere. Nursing homes near Chicago are checking temps of first responders before they allow them into the facility.

Coronavirus Patients in Limbo as Gilead Suspends Emergency Drug Access

"Overwhelmed by demand for an experimental treatment for coronavirus, the drug maker Gilead abruptly shut down its emergency access program, leaving doctors and families scrambling for answers.

The company said it was setting up a broader access program that could try to help more people, but some said the transition is delaying remedies for very ill patients who have few options.

“We have heard zero. We know nothing,” said Genny Allard, the mother of Jack Allard, a 25-year-old New Jersey resident who is in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator at Hackensack Meridian Health JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J. “I’m just, like, apoplectic at this point. I have a kid who is sick and the doctor wants to give him the next medicine that is supposed to help.”
