Nice job!
That won’t last until May. People won’t put up with it.
Pot shops are open in Cali too. I assume its due to a "medicinal use" angle.Michigan's original order was a bit vague and required some digging to see what was and wasn't essential when Governor Whtmer first announced its implementation. For example: "Finance" was listed as an essential field. So, I initially thought our accounting office could stay open (especially with the tax deadline still being April 15 at the time). Reading further, there was fine print that said essential fields were further defined on some Federal web page/PDF file that pretty much listed banks and credit card processors as the finance areas deemed essential with little to nothing else included.
Michigan's CPA board decided to seek clarification from the Governor's Office during the past week with a statement that if the state tax deadline wasn't changing to match the new Federal due date of July 15, accounting firms needed to be deemed essential enough to remain open in some capacity because it made no sense to order them closed through April 12 while keeping an April 15 state tax deadline. The governor finally adjusted the deadline this weekend so that any federal form with a July 15 due date now has the same due date for the corresponding state form.
There's also ambiguity in how the shutdown is to be enforced under threat of $500 fine and misdemeanor charges. Even though nonessential business are to be closed, it still sounds as if it's OK for the owner or other designated person to come to the business long enough to check the daily incoming mail and phone messages provided they don't operate the business and leave as soon as they're done with their daily check-in. As someone else might have posted, all kinds of people seem all too eager to tattle on perceived scofflaws so much so the Attorney General had to tell them to call their local police andnot her office. However, local police -- in order to minimize their exposure to COVID-19 -- have been directed to avoid stopping people for minor incidents and minor traffic stops whenever possible.
Also in Michigan, golf courses, tobacco shops, and bottle returns are now officially closed as part of the shutdown.

Whitmer: No golf, can returns; laundromats OK in shutdown
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday that golf courses and tobacco shops should close for three weeks to abide by her stay-at-home order.www.freep.com
Oddly enough, recreational marijuana shops can stay open. However, they can't allow customers inside their stores; instead, they have to use curbside pickup or delivery to get the goods to customers.
I don't know whether pot shops in California are separated into medical use dispensaries and recreational use facilities as they seem to be here. I have no problem with medical marijuana being available because people with valid prescriptions are entitled to have access to their medicine.
There's no distinction. Once it was legalized for recreational use in Cali the whole "official" medical use regiment ('scrip cards, etc) pretty much evaporated. And like, who are you to say it's totally not medicine for my like, claustrophobia and shit from like, hiding from corona-chan, dude? What are you, like, some kinda doctor or something, man? Pffffft.
That law is only a few years old in Michigan and so dispensaries are still only located in the granola-crunching cities for the most part. Conservative parts of the state have mostly succeeded in keeping them out so far, and so while they're chasing the non-medical revenue, the justification for staying open (in that they supposedly provide medicinal treatment) is very much health-based.
You're jinxing it.
I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

Here in Michigan, at least, we're leaving releases to local law enforcement's discretion. This sheriff, and I should hope most others, are only releasing those who have nearly completed their sentence, the elderly and infirm, and the non-violent.

Shit, that's two weeks before my school's summer classes start. I was planning on taking a couple upper-level CS classes this summer but it's becoming more and more likely that at least the first session's classes will be online if not outright cancelled.
Unless you're a poorfag without a computer at home, CS should be one of the easiest subjects to learn online. It's not like it's Chemistry and you won't have lab access.
