trueblue82 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Update: I understand they are closing all westbound crossings of the TX/ LA line tomorrow at 8:00 am to non-essential traffic. From the Highway 84 Sabine River Bridge at Joaquin going south, it’s pretty cut and dried. There’s a very limited number of crossing points south of here. Going north, the logistics are quite a bit trickier due to lots of backroads. I can count 10 from deadwood to Waskom, and I’m sure there’s more.

I’ve heard some things at work that make me believe stricter stay at home orders are coming soon. I also have a family member that has an essential job that asked for volunteers to work 14 days without leaving work. Now they may just be doing this just to caution on the safe side or they could know something we don’t. I guess we will find out soon enough.

I’m not sure if I’m going back to Louisiana or the DFW area. Neither is a win. Lol. You read the comments on the FB page of the link you shared? It’s wild. People as a whole are dumb.

Yea I went over there 3 times this week and they were pulling "some" cars over. As of today they said they are gonna screen all vehicles that are not commercial. They are saying to expect delays on any west bound roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when they are going to scale back on what’s considered “essential” or say us Texans can’t go over to Louisiana to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTV1 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Bclove05 said: Next they gonna be taking our temperature too They already do that for people that work in nursing homes and hospitals. I'm praying we don't go on full lock down, and they close everything. While I have stocked up on food there are some perishable items I need not everyday, but about once a week, because they go bad even in the fridge. Usually those are vegetables. I don't like to waste food. I saw the surgeon general ask all states to go on lock down for one week, but that's only for states that are currently already doing so. He didn't say anything about a full one. I know they are already cutting back on how many people are allowed in stores. I know kids are out of school, but I wish the whole family wasn't shopping. The kids pick up stuff, and then the mom puts it back on the shelf. None of them are wearing gloves, and even if they did by the time they got to the store I can guarantee they've been contaminated. I know they're bored too, but that needs to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threejs Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 After reading through the order about travel to/from Louisiana, my daughter finally decided to bring our grandson from Shreveport to ET. She was fully prepared to fill out all of the paperwork about where she would be, how long, where she was coming from, etc. This is what she encountered: Trooper: What's the purpose of the trip? Daughter: To drop off child (sitting in car seat in back) at his grandparents. Trooper: When are you returning to LA? Daughter: Tomorrow morning. Trooper: Come on through. Drive safely. .

BlahBlah Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I am now quarantined for 24 hours at least One of my co-workers tested positive. So now I get to stay in my little girls room , and cant leave until my test results come back tomorrow morning. I feel fine right now. I don't want to be cooped up in this little room for 2-3 weeks.

All of the testing came back fine of course, and they're begging me to come back. At least that's some income at the present time. I still hate needles !!
