Loves in Nowata Ok. has closed and locked its doors and blocked the fuel pumps. Sign is up that says "Closed until further notice for the safety of our employees". Are all Loves going to shut down? How many more fuel stops are going to follow suit?

It seems that it only really affects those with compromised immune systems and/or the elderly, very young etc etc. So they're the ones that should be taking all the necessary precautions since they are the minority in the country. The majority of the country needs to be living "normal" lives. If this isn't rectified the entire place will pay a very disastrous cost.
