Gov Inslee has just extended the Stay at Home order

through May 4th.

It's going to be tough on people, but it's a good move. I'm sure schools cancelled for the year will be next.

but I would love for him to clarify (and maybe he already has) that it's not necessarily a CLOSURE of all non-essential businesses.... I have a professional services business and I work exclusively from home. I did largely before, and now do exclusively. I am able to keep working through the stay at home period. This would also be true for certain craftspersons, for example.

Perhaps it's just the public parlance, but a valid clarification.

I bring it up because local dummies on FB keep complaining about the "shutdown."

Thanks.
