@KingstonsMom   I've been wondering about police, security, etc. in general.

It's ridiculous. Just about everything can be done online. He said they dropped them off some Lysol today. Big deal. Just waiting for the first case. Just down the road there is a  a Nursing Home with 22 cases. So it's in the area.

My credit union sent an e-mail that the lobby would be open by appointment only. Otherwise use the drive through or ATM.

I think I would rather be working than sent home without pay.

My bank does not have drive thru windows and I can't even think where there is any bank with drive thrus within my city or the city next to us.  Inside the bank, the tellers have a window barrier, but has for about 3 years.  The bank is still open, but encourages online banking as much as possible.

It is always a good idea to have cash on hand in case of a disaster or emergency.

My son in law is a branch bank manager and has to be at work every day. He says people are in the bank coughing and for no good reason.  One customer said he had just got back from giving Communion at a VA hospital! Good grief. Sick eldery men.

Leave the ATM and drive ups open... an 800 number for specific help. My daughter is asthmatic and I worry about him bringing the virus to her. Like there isn't enough to stress about.

A good definition of worrying is "vividly and emotionally picturing life as you DON'T want it to happen".

Personally, I see no point in worrying about something that hasn't happened.    But, that's JMO

In my area people use ATMs at their own risk. The machines outside the actual banks, for example at the stores or inside booths, are not safe from crooks trying to steal your money. I would never go to one of those alone.

I went to my bank this afternoon in person (no drive thru at this location). Business as usual except for shorter hours. On my way now to Ulta to return something before stores close down tomorrow.

I was pleased to know that my credit union closed it's lobbies a couple of days ago. Most banking can be done from home (phone or internet) or an ATM access.  Nipping this in the bud is so important!

My neighbor works for First Community Bank call center. Her job is very secure compared to many Americans.

This can be true in some areas.  My Walreen's, just around the corner, has an ATM for my credit union inside of the store. This sets up a much more secure system of money withdrawal.
