(3,011 posts)As harsh as it sounds, a stay-at-home order still allows for a measure of free movement. Just means that you're not supposed to partake in activities that involve groups of people, unless absolutely necessary.
Note though, a measure. You're not going to be able to do your shopping in large scale malls or shopping centers, but stand-alone stores are fine.

(7,820 posts)Its very strange. All things considered, Im in about as fortunate a situation as I could be... no stress about housing, a stable company with good benefits and plenty of pto on the books, and part of a very, very minimal crew that is still working as we have accounts we supply that are open due to being considered essential businesses. So, in my quiet office with three other people who are all being very cautious and doing everything possible to avoid spreading anything.
And even still, its very nervous-making. Its stressful- mostly the uncertainty. What if this does go on for months? What if I or a loved one gets ill? Health-wise, financially, the logistics of dealing with basic needs... Everything about this is stressful and scary. The shelter in place is necessary to keep this from becoming an even worse disaster.
