Wrong, Union County-boy! Since we're Mecklenburg County, we're special and fancy...we were issued a 'proclamation'.Looks like Mecklenburg county will be under a "Stay At Home" order starting Thursday 3/26 at 8am thru April 16.
County Issues 'Stay at Home' Order for Next 21 Days

Charlotte is shut down, Atlanta is shut down, yet here in the middle we remain free to roam. I equate this random shut down procedure to getting a traffic light at a dangerous intersection. "No Ma'am, we can not put a light at 5th and main. We've only had three deaths there and we require five deaths to put in a traffic light. Maybe in a year or two"
My favorite news quote so far. "Yes, go out to eat, go watch that baseball game. Never mind that pile of bodies in the corner" This from a newscaster.

Don't believe everything you see on the news...Wrong, Union County-boy! Since we're Mecklenburg County, we're special and fancy...we were issued a 'proclamation'.

You can't go out to eat currently. what baseball game? What bodies in the corner? Typical with the fear mongering.
Makes sense to tell the densely packed cities to stay at home....but you won't get it walking around in your yard, going in the woods, driving down the road, walking/cycling/running, practicing good hygene and eating habits, and staying 10ft from other people.
People die in droves from all sorts of stuff...some things they can control and some they can't, every single day.
If you feel you are high risk, you're scared of your own shadow, believe you came in contact with someone who has it, or you are actually sick...then stay home.
As is HomeDepot, Bestbuy and any Target or Walmart with a grocery store.

The amount of stores that are still open even after they have shutdown all non-essential stores is as if nothing has shut down.
Only thing I'm see closed are malls/clothing stores and what not. Every auto parts store, home depot/lowes, alcohol store, food, what have you still running

Can we limit the rhetorical questions a little, and instead use this thread to show how we're coping? Or maybe if someone is sick and could use a cheer up?
In an attempt to answer your questions, I offer this simple simulation. People in more rural areas are somewhat distanced already, meaning lockdown orders have less impact there, which is why you see these mandates in cities more often than in rural places.

I just sort of skimmed through, but it looks like city of Durham not county?Durham county stay at home order through April 30th:

I just got a call about a family member (in another state) being tested for it. Praying that it's just something minor but this is starting to hit home for me.
Please adhere to the social distancing as it's not just about preventing you from getting it but preventing you from spreading it to people on the high risk group directly or indirectly. Remember these are people's mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc...
Since this is the Covid thread, figured I'd rant here...
This past Thursday, from VA to NC, 95 & 85 South was inundated with NY, NJ & CT cars packed to the roof like they were going on summer vacation.
They looked like refugees fleeing from conflict. I can't help but think seeing that most of the Kung Flu cases are from those areas that they didn't spread it at every fuel, food and rest stop from the Northeast to Florida.
The JHU spread map shows pretty consistent trail down the interstates. I'm sure the commercial air travel taking the virus from the major airports of entry to the smaller regional ones also facilitated the spread to the likes of Raleigh, Richmond, Roanoke etc...
