City Declares State of Emergency To Fight Coronavirus

Posted by Publisher on
Fairhope, Alabama




NON-ESSENTIAL CITY FACILITIES CLOSED

As a precautionary measure to protect the health and welfare of citizens from possible coronavirus spread hazards, the city council met in a special meeting today to declare a "state of local emergency" and to close all city facilities except for "essential services" until further notice. (Under authority of Al. Code 31-9-10)

Waiving of some "normal procedures and formalities usually required" were authorized; spending limits without council's approval were increased to $10K/per as well.

Citizens are encouraged to conduct routine business by phone or online.

The economic fallout from all this may turn out to be the worst thing.

It is interesting to see the reaction from different age groups on the same issue. One thinks they are okay and the other well you know. But in fact this is a new untested virus. Just because you are okay for now does not mean it can not return in a different fashion. Example Shingles? We will see but I can tell you the earth is not flat and this is not the flu. One thing is certain were ever it goes the result is lock down, and much sorrow. So sit back and listen to some Amadeus Mozart classic :)

When you dispute historical, factual truth, you do nothing more than discredit your own opinion and become someone tuned out by the very ones you wish to sway.

I get it you dont like Mozart, how about my favorite Antonio Vivaldi? I can listen to him all day long. After all if you are correct this will be a short concert. And you can get back to ??

Went to drop off mail at the post office this afternoon. Drove through downtown Fairhope on the way home. I was shocked at the number restaurants that were open and the diners that were at them. There were a number of other establishments open. Do these businesses and people have no sense of social responsibility??? We should all be sheltering in place as if we had the virus. That is how we can best abate the spread of COVID-19. Our civic officials need to take action to force the issue if businesses and people don’t do so on their own.

All he needs are his pen and his phone...oh wait, wrong president.

Silly Leftist, fake news is for kids.

We know the flu is going to kill thousands every year, why do we not shelter in place every flu season?
We know thousands will die on the highways every year, why do we not walk everywhere?
So now we panic and destroy the economy and how many will be serious harmed by their loss of income?
Just asking questions, I’m sure the libtards have answers.

An increase in TDS cases and the severity of those cases has been linked to Chinese pharmaceuticals. Liberals being weaker than most are most at risk.

Was at the local grocery store and observed an elderly 80's male looking at the empty bread aisle. Durring the early years and our civil war. A starch was made and used that required no refrigeretion or complex cooking means. Callled hard tac or country bisc. Simple, 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 cup water, mix and push to a sq pancake. On ungreased cookie sheet bake 375 for 30min/ flip 30 more. Last forever, hard to chew but fills the stomach. You can add to it but then have to think about refrigeration. The basics folks. Your relatives made it you can to. Stay strong Alabama.

LOL

I guess this poster is correct: "The only books being burned are at liberal colleges."

Poster One obviously never had a chance to read about the Nazis. So, such an ignorant statement of equivalency is understandable...but not excusable.

He is right. The Nazi's were a political party, just like the democrats and republicans. The National Socialists.
