Whelp, that tips the scale. The entire state of California is shut down.

More will follow. My son thinks Illinois is not far behind. That's the only way to slow this down once it starts hitting places like hospitals and nursing homes.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL GUARD

Emergencies are scary enough. Let’s not add to the fear by spreading misinformation. @WANationalGuard is your neighbor, your friend and we want what’s best for our communities – we live here too. Let’s put aside the rumors about martial law or military rule. IT’S JUST NOT TRUE.
