Will the USPS shut down too?
 

Everything is shutting down...are they next?

If so, does ebay freeze all auctions?!

Did you post this so Soxfanguy couldn’t?

If so, how would all those panic returns be delivered?

Neither snow nor rain nor coronavirus nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds

Why would I post that? The post office is a essential function of society.

Everything is not shutting down. "Essential" workers are still on the job even in cities with the most strict lockdowns. Your trash will still get picked up, your mail will still get delivered, your bank will still be there to serve your banking needs, grocery stores and pharmacies will still be open. The gas/electric companies will still respond to calls for service interruption. Police/fire/EMS will still respond if you need them. Plumbers will still be allowed to service plumbing issues. Delivery drivers of any type will still be able to deliver whatever goods/food you require.

This isn't a movie folks. There is no such thing as a true "lock down".

Exactly why you would. It makes zero sense.

I talked to the warehouse manager for our local ups branch. They said that they have no plans of reducing hours or activity or production in the slightest.

Move there if you are so concerned. The question was in regards to the UNITED STATES Post Office.

Jeez these threads are really getting trite

Missing the point. There IS such a thing. Not here, but there is.

The one thing I have been surprised by here in Seattle is the fact that they completely closed down the library system.

I can understand closing down branches, but given that here in Seattle we already have the technology in place to both check out and return books without human contact, I'm surprised that they completely shut down the circulation system, especially given the fact that everyone is stuck at home with plenty of time to read.

If it's possible to safely sort & deliver the mail, I'm guessing it's possible to safely sort and deliver books/DVD's to local branches...

I spoke to my postmaster and she said they will not shutdown. FedEx and UPS May since they are privately owned. She said they got word from the PM General that they would not shut down.

I think you need a larger signature.

Good to know, thanks!

You might as well have posted a "Will Burger Kings shut down too?" thread.

“Is the military shutting down also?” ��

If USPS shuts down, how are we supposed to get our $1000 checks?

It was explained to me from someone working at my local library that one of the main reasons (Not the only reason mind you) the libraries are closed is due to the fact that most schools are closed and there is no childcare available. Much like what happens in summer, kids get dropped off at the library while the parents work and they could not risk having kids spread this virus. Again....this is NOT the only reason but something that was in the mix that forced many libraries across the country to close. Besides, if the kids are not supposed to go to school to stop the spread of the virus they and everyone else should not be going to the library. There is plenty of online content to keep everyone busy.

Libraries have people who use them for a place to work, stay for a day, search for jobs, etc... this is congregating of people, and what they want to minimize
