OK, reading the executive order, I interpret it to say Internet is essential infrastructure that we can continue to “offer, provision, operate, maintain and repair”. I take “offer” to mean we can do new installs.
It also seems to say hardware stores can stay open. Whether they do I guess is up to them. My gut says Home Depot will probably be open, our local Ace HW may or may not. https://www2.illinois.gov/Documents/ExecOrders/2020/ExecutiveOrder-2020-10.pdf My superpowers do not include reading government documents. I welcome other interpretations of what this means.

I'm not worried about gas stations closing, and grocery stores and drug stores will stay open. Although I drove by a grocery store this afternoon and the parking lot was entirely full, so people are probably panic buying again. I'm still a little unclear on whether we should still book new installs unless there's some demonstrable emergency. I'm not looking for a way to challenge the order, just to figure out what we are supposed to be doing. I sense there's uncertainty about things like home remodeling companies, it seemed like carpenters, electricians, etc. were scurrying today to finish up some projects near me as if they think they will be shut down. It also occurred to me that while gas stations and grocery stores will stay open, I'm not sure about Ace Hardware, Home Depot, etc. Will I got to get supplies and find all the stores closed? I guess the alternative is Amazon, McMaster, Zoro, etc. and have it delivered. I'd just like to know before I need a tube of RTV or some bolts that day and find out everything is closed. What if someone needs a plumber or electrician to fix something at their house, I'd guess those are essential services? -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Seth Mattinen Sent: Friday, March 20, 2020 3:27 PM To: af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] shelter in place question On 3/20/20 12:58 PM, ch...@wbmfg.com <mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > You are essential services. You are a public utility. Here in NV they specifically stated "utilities as defined in NRS Chapter 704".
