I actually went and checked if liquor stores counted as essential in New York right before the shelter-in-place order went into effect. (They do.)

Then I ran and got a couple of bottles of Port anyway just in case there are issues importing stuff from Europe. ^_^

Our gov got us on the stay at home bandwagon starting this morning. Probably the right decision. Curiously tho, liquor stores and MJ dispensaries are "Critical Critical Retail" (yes, thats how the actual order reads).

They were justifiably concerned about a massive, possibly dangerous run on these outlets if they weren't allowed to remain open.

We must remember that the base purpose is medical.
The governor’s order, however, will change how dispensaries do business. In-person sales are limited to medical patients only;

The same has happened here in Ontario. A public health official described it as being a calming influence on a population that is under stress.

Same here in CA. Weed dispensaries and delivery services can stay open as essential businesses but really, I think it’s so people don’t lose their minds staying home for several weeks on end.

Most of my port is stuck in my wine cellar waiting for the right time. I have some Tawney and Ruby that can be consumed now, but my vintage is only about ½ way. I had one in 2017 after 20 years and it was tolerable but another 20 will take care of that.

I have several bottles of 15-18 year old Scotch, lots of Rum, some Gin, some Tequila, Champagne, regular wine (around 600 bottles), and some beer somewhere.

In Los Angeles county, gun shops have been deemed as an essential business and allowed to remain open. And you should see the lines to get in!

Is that so that they can shoot anyone who violates social distancing?

Most have either been my wine cellar or on top of my refrigerator for years. Since I retired from the military, I have not been able to afford my tastes in alcohol.

They want people to be sedated for the duration so they don't get out of hand.
