Mail deliveries are fine. The recipient just needs to disinfect the product when it arrives and wash their hands, while the person shipping it needs to make sure their product is actually safe. Post office is still essential by the way.
The issue for brick & mortar game stores is that for many of them, selling online was more of a side job. Yet now they are being thrust into an economy that wants more online purchasing. As that can be done safely from the home. While people had made fun of fake LGS's that were only a digital store, they are the ones that profit the most off of this time as they just have to keep doing what they were already doing.
And this pandemic is just another nail in the coffin for physical game stores. Can't blame Wizards or Hasbro this time as they didn't perdict such an event either as its causing complications for them also delaying their products. Can't really blame Speculators except for the limited edition products like Secret Lairs as even the non-lair fetchlands have been going down in price as people don't have money and sales are drying up. Cockatrice, MODO, and Arena while criticized for not being able to play in person, are now the holy grail for people and their ever increasing boredom of having stay at home.
Sounds like he did break the state's quarntine law. He was given several warnings to close shop because he is operating a non-essential business that goes against the state's lockdown. Keeps it open anyway. Surprised when he gets arrested.
Also literally taken from Galen Wood on the matter for a news article:
Quote from Galen Wood »
“We can’t live in a country where the cops tell you what to do that’s Nazi Gestapo type stuff,” Wood said. “That’s not where we live.”
^ can't make this up as there is people who posted this same stuff on his facebook page.
Also it takes place in the state of the crazy, Florida. Oh and its an American who talks about "Their god given rights" and how he believes the quarantine surpresses his liberty and freedom. Its practically double jeopardy.
Wouldn't be surprised if he gets higher bails posted for continuing to break the law.
Please do carry on spreading the plague mister Galen Wood.
Nevermind those incidents like where eighteen dead people were found in a nursing home as the caregivers didn't want to show up. Or how god-fearing Americans tried to hold service to spite the state for saying they were "non-essential" which resulted in their bishop literally ending up dead the next week. Or how the main leader for a group of survival nutjobs that held national park in Oregon a couple years ago with guns just died of the virus. Or how a man in Taiwan was fined $33,000 for breaking quarantine because he wanted to go clubbing.
Or how a man in Australia tried to circumvent a store's policy of having only 3 of a given item by getting a bunch of lackeys to buy their share for him and taking it off their hands, then being surprised he can't sell Toilet Paper and Hand Sanitizer online because that would be profiteering, and the store won't accept it back even when he realizes he wasted over $10,000 on all this supplies.
The truth of the matter is so many people have this mentality of "it doesn't apply to me, so screw em." yet it does and being an ignoramus about the situation for a pointless 'battle' is only going to result in more harm than good. Its a lot of the people with ideological baggage that are also prolonging the quarantine. Oh and doctors have noted that its not just infants or elderly who are at most of a risk for this virus, its also overweight people due to their poor health.
This isn't some earthquake or twister that goes away as quickly as it showed up. its going to keep festering and spreading until no one is infected.
Places like Michigan are opening up again after protests of disgruntled workers who weren't allowed to work. Also that it was less about the economy for them and more about being forced to stay at home.
Hurray...can't wait to hear how such places cause a spike in the virus and how the quarantine only gets extended more because people can't for the life of them stay at home. "
