Jerry's did $2500 worth of carry out last night (4-8pm) so some people aren't too worried.
Am I the only one not over reacting?

I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully he and the rest of our small businesses will be able to hang on.

That's great and I am in the same boat where sales have been better than normal.
But will it last?
For me, I don't think it will.

Never really understood, unenjoyment insurance/benefit. So when an employee, is unemployed through no fault of their own, the business is still on the hook, for, basically, continuing to pay them a wage, through a third party, albeit somewhat reduced, until what was paid out to said employee is fully recovered. Sounds like a punishment, a fine, to the business owner for daring to let an employee go. Thinking there should be a withholding from the employee' pay for this. Ya know, kinda like a forced saving account, that can only be drawn upon when employment is lost. Spreading the pain so to speak.
Not at this time.
Of course. We typically get 40-50% up front. Typical systems we're shipping these days are between 300-400K each. But we are in the hole for a large chunk of change until the balance is received.
The Lighthouse Inn in Solomons has been selling 80/20 ground beef in 10 pound rolls for $50 and boneless, skinless chicken breast at $55 for 10 pounds. That is $5 and $5.50 a pound! Uncooked crab cake balls for $10 a piece. And they have quickly sold out. 
I stopped at Giant Wednesday night for a couple of things. Fresh veggies, fruit, and milk.
Wanted some saltine crackers and tater tots but they were completely out but neither are essentials. I keep my fridge, freezer, and pantry well stocked so pretty much a non-issue for me.

Since stores are out of toilet paper and have minimal stocks of bread, milk, soup, frozen food and eggs, what would be the "go to" items for hoarders if we were to have a blizzard now?
I have everything I need for a two week complete shut down.
True, but when your employer has to lay off - there's no choice.
Not far from my house - or my work!
@frequentflier, @vraiblonde and all other small business owners here:
I was able to sit in on a nationwide phone call this afternoon with the POTUS to Small Business Owners with the head of the SBA, and I think the Secretary of Labor (?) Anyway it was off the record, but was being recorded, so possibly there is a transcript of the call somewhere. It only lasted about 10-15 minutes total. Trump expressed his and his administrations' total support of small business owners.
Go to the White House website or the SBA website for Maryland and check out ALL KINDS of relief for small business owners. Yes, it will be a hardship, but there is a LOT of extra help this time around. Not just SBA loans - even some SBA loan forgiveness, there will be dollar for dollar tax credits for business owners - a LOT of help. Per POTUS and my own employers - NO OTHER adminstration has supported the SBOs like this one has.
I hope you can find some relief through the SBA.
Flabbergasted.
