    One thing that’s been selling out in area grocery stores is toilet paper. The truth is that no one anticipated people would be buying toilet paper in the coronavirus pandemic, but that’s what’s happening.

    If you need toilet paper, there’s one outfit that has you covered. Atlanta-based digital marketing and PR agency, Trevelino/Keller has created the Toilet Paper Exchange (TPE), which gives out free toilet paper.

    Atlanta PR Firm Distributes Free Toilet Paper

    “In times like this, we need a bit of levity to break up the stress associated with ever-changing dynamics due to the coronavirus,” says Genna Keller, principal at Trevelino/Keller. “The Toilet Paper Exchange is indeed intended to distract us from the current stress while providing those TP-less, a roll to get through the day. We see the potential for the platform to address other impending household needs and are exploring additional ways we can use it to help the Atlanta community.”

    Dean Trevelino says it is his hope that many of the city’s businesses that have closed their offices and set up shop remotely can donate their toilet roll surpluses.

    “We suspect many schools, businesses and churches have excess supply of toilet paper and other paper and cleaning products,” adds Dean Trevelino, principal. “We encourage them to contribute to the TPE and we’ll take it from there.”

    For groups interested in donating excess toilet paper and/or serving as a TP Toss Collection Point, please visit http://toiletpaperexchange.com/TKTossPartner.

    Georgia Gov. Brian signed a statewide shelter-in-place order on Wednesday, April 1. The executive order goes in effect on Friday and lasts through April 13. Update: Georgia’s Statewide Lockdown Was Extended Until April 30.

    “Tomorrow, I will sign a statewide shelter-in-place order which will go into effect on Friday and run through April 13, 2020,” Kemp said at a press release. “This date is in line with our public health emergency order.”

    The order “is to make sure our citizens are healthy in every ZIP code,” he said.

    Kemp sparked immediate controversy when he said that he and his officialsrecently learned asymptomatic people could transmit coronavirus: “We didn’t know that until the last 24 hours.”

    Here’s what’s allowed under Georgia’s shelter in place order. You can still go to:

    • Laundrymat
    • Pharmacy

    You can go to any of these places as long as you practice social distancing.

    The startling admission caused many on social media to question Kemp’s qualifications as governor.

    The statewide order includes orders to cancel all k-12 public school through the rest of this school year.

    Georgia Institutes Statewide Stay-At-Home Order

    Here’s what it says on the state of Georgia’s website about the order

    The state is asking every Georgian to limit person-to-person contact until the pandemic is over. Social distancing is not about us as individuals; it’s about all Georgians working in unison to slow the spread of the virus so our hospitals are not overwhelmed by a surge of critically ill patients. It will take weeks to see the effects of these measures.

    Kemp tweeted “We want Georgians to enjoy the outdoors, but you must abide by social distancing guidelines. @GeorgiaWild is patrolling state parks and waterways to enforce my executive order.”

    As the order was passed down, Georgia Patrol cruisers were observed on city highways, Atlanta Police Department cars were seen on local streets roads and boulevards to enforce the order.

    Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has been waiting for the statewide order as she has enacted several executive orders to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

    “I have signed an Executive Order, effective at midnight, limiting restaurants to take out service, closing bars, gyms, etc.” Lance Bottoms tweeted. “The fate of cities across the globe will be upon soon if we do not follow recommendations on ways to slow the spread of the Coronavirus.”

    Atlanta Mayor Re-Issues Stay At Home Order For City

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com March 27, 2020
    2 Min Read

    Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Friday re-issued the stay at home order for the city under the spectre of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

    Lance Bottoms’ actions mirrored the state of emergency she issued a week ago as a strategy to mitigate the spread of the deadly virus.

    The mayor has been coordinating with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on executive orders at a time when the national response has been mixed.

    The revised city of Atlanta order clarifies some exemptions as follows:

    • Adds an exemption for landscaping and print shops
    • and clarifies that package stores, such as liquor stores and wine shops, bike shops, and the insurance industry, are also exempt.

    Lance Bottoms also fundamentally differs on the governor’s approach to stay at home orders, where Kemp has said he wants the local officials to lead.

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com March 27, 2020

    The city of College Park enacted a citywide curfew for 14 days as part of its efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

    The College Park curfew is daily from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m. It expires the morning of April 8, 2020. College Park is in Clayton County, which has enacted a lockdown until April 12.

    “This directive is not meant to be punitive,” stated College Park Mayor Bianca Motley Broom.  “It is strictly meant to allow us to manage this issue as properly as we can.”

    Activities that are excluded include all those deemed necessary for “essential services.” People are also still allowed to do things such as:

    • Go grocery shopping
    • Get medical services
    • Go to the bank
    • Do their laundry
    • Go to and from work

    Read the emergency ordinance HERE

    College Park city council also wants to remind citizens that individuals are still encouraged to maintain social distancing of at least six feet while in the presence of two or people.

    “We definitely need to shut it down, but the difficult thing will be regulating the parks,” stated Ward II Councilman Derick Taylor.  “Even when we shut those parks down, we have to trust that people will do the right thing for their families.”

    When Does The College Park Curfew End?

    The College Park curfew ends after the 14-day period marked by the morning of April 8, 2020, according to the city ordinance.

    The Brady and Phoenix Trails are not included in the ordinance, the city said.

    The College Park curfew is similar to one enacted in East Point as well as Atlanta.

    Waffle House Temporarily Closes Some Atlanta Locations

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com March 25, 2020
    2 Min Read

    Waffle House has closed 419 of its restaurants across the nation, the eatery said this week. The Atlanta-based restaurant has not said why it took the actions, but it could be due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has closed large swaths of the U.S. economy.

    Many restaurants, including Waffle House, have had to go to takeout orders only as the virus continues to spread across the nation.

    On the Waffle House official Twitter account, the eatery posted a map that showed where the closings took place. Here’s where the restaurants stand so far:

    • 365 Waffle Houses closed
    • 1,627 Waffle Houses still open

    In the Atlanta area, it’s a good idea to call your local Waffle House to see if it’s open.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency uses Waffle House to gauge how bad a natural disaster has affected the area.

    What Is The Waffle House Index?

    It’s been called the “Waffle House Index.”

    A FEMA official was quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying that if the local Waffle House is closed, you know “it’s bad.”

    Atlanta Mayor: Health Officials Recommend Closing Beltline

    Tee Johnson craigsotherlistyahoo-com March 24, 2020
    3 Min Read

    Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is doing her best to navigate the concerns of the South’s largest city in the grips of the coronavirus pandemic. 

    On late Monday, she tweeted that she was closing down much of the city while still allowing essential services to carry on. her executive order came on the heels of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s similar order only affecting the “medically fragile.”

    “Thank you @BrianKempGA for the updated state guidelines,” Lance Bottoms wrote. “Based upon our density & specific needs/concerns in Atlanta, I’ve signed a 14 day Stay at Home Order. As of now, this does not include essential businesses, parks,@AtlantaBeltLine & restaurants serving takeout.”

    She says one of the city’s most popular landmarks has been identified by health officials as a place that needs to close down to stem the virus.

    Coronavirus Pandemic: Will Atlanta Close The Beltline?

    State and federal health officials have advised the public to practice “social distancing,” which includes staying at least 4 to 6 feet away from the next person.

    Lance Bottoms says rather than shut down the Beltline, she wants Atlantans to use common sense while taking the current health advice to heart.

    Here’s what she tweeted:

    “Our public health partners haven’t recommended closure. However, while enjoying our parks & the trail, please exercise social distancing & remain at least 6ft apart. A good time to explore less congested portions of the trail.”

    Lance Bottoms has taken a number of strong steps to curb the spread of COVID-19 in Atlanta, including:

    • A two-week telework policy for City of Atlanta workers
    • A moratorium on water cutoffs for people in the city
    • A school system shutdown

    “We just want to be as careful as possible,” she told NBC News.

    The White House Coronavirus Task Force has recommended that people limit gatherings to 10 or less amid the pandemic.

    Separately, after Kemp issued a stay-at-home order for the “medically fragile,” many people tweeted Lance Bottoms to get him to issue the order state-wide.

    Many Republican governors are taking cues from the Administration and beginning to signal eases to the stay-at-home orders so that the economy can get back up and running.

    White House: Pandemic Could Last Deep Into Summer

    President Trump originally said the outbreak could stretch into “July, August” and well into the summer, dampening plans for millions of people looking forward to events.

    He was also asked whether a national quarantine was something officials were considering, and he said, that regionally this was a thought, but not for the whole country.

    More recently, Trump has posited that the lockdown should go on for “weeks” and not “months.”

    2 Min Read

    Effective Monday, March 23, public gatherings of 10 or more people in DeKalb County are prohibited, according to a state of emergency order issued by the county’s chief executive.

    The order means that DeKalb residents are being asked to adhere to a voluntary curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. not unlike a handful of major cities in the United States.

    DeKalb Curfew: Everything You Need To Know

    DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond issued the order in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which continues to spread in Georgia.

    “All employers and businesses that remain open to the public must take steps to restrict in person contact and maintain a distance of six feet between individuals in the establishment,” the order says.

    Thurmond also issued a “shelter in place” order on March 27, which is an update to its emergency order.

    DeKalb Issues Shelter-In-Place Order

    The DeKalb shelter in place went into effect Saturday, March 28 at 9 p.m.

    DeKalb says the following jobs are considered “frontline work force,” and basically essential:

    • Police
    • Fire
    • Sheriff

    • Sanitation
    • 911
    • Medical Examiner
    • Roads & Drainage
    • Senior Center Food Services
    • Parks
    • DeKalb-Peachtree Airport

    The measure by DeKalb came the same day that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced a “shelter in place” order for all those who are “medically fragile.”
