Looks like we may not see much movement here until May, at the earliest.

Developing…

In a press conference on April 1, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida said that he would be issuing a statewide “stay-at-home” mandate effective Thursday night at midnight. The Executive Order is expected to be signed later this afternoon.

Based on the information currently available, CGC expects its Sarasota, Florida, USA headquarters to be open tomorrow, April 2. Once the Executive Order has been signed, CGC will analyze and provide an update on its operations.

CHECK USPS.COM FOR UPDATES (bottom of their main page) ON SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS AND/OR CLOSURES.

Guys, just a heads up if any of are planning to submit now (or have submitted) and using USPS Registered mail as a return option. There seems to be services that have been impacted in certain locations in several states. Also, apparently the USPS isn't part of the $2 trillion federal stimulus package and may need to shut down by June:  https://fortune.com/2020/03/30/usps-postal-service-stimulus-package-no-funding-post-office-mail-delivery-could-shutter-june-coronavirus-relief-bill/

Sent a batch in that should of been delivered by now but haven't shown up in my submissions yet. I sent them before the announcement of Florida shutting down. Should I be concerned?

I received word that they will be opening submissions from March 30th but not any after that

If someone told me back in the beginning of January that in three months time that my comic book hobby would stop on a dime, I would laugh and laugh and laugh, afterall what are the odds of that ever happening?...…….

Has CGC made any statement now that the announcement has been made for non-essential businesses to close?

[Jaywalker0]

Having monitored CISA, Treasury, and DHS advisories on what constitutes an "Essential Service/Workforce" for my own workplace, I can guarantee you, collectibles do not fit the bill. But even my city that's had increasingly more restrictive measures until a full lockdown last week, some businesses are still running even though they don't fit definition either. In my estimation, CGC should probably comply w/Gov DeSantis' order, but whether they will? Dunno. Have to wait for their announcements.  

That said, I may have come in just under the wire - VERY long wait:

CGC remains open and fully operational at its Sarasota, Florida, USA headquarters and its office in London.

CGC meets a number of criteria for essential services according to Florida Executive Order 20-91, issued on April 1 by Governor DeSantis. The Executive Order specifically defines “essential services” to include, among many others, businesses that interact with customers electronically or by telephone and deliver products through the mail, manufacturing facilities, businesses that supply other essential businesses, and businesses that provide access to financial services, including non-bank financial services.

In addition to the enhanced cleaning and safety protocols previously instituted, including frequent cleanings of all work areas, CGC has taken the following immediate steps:

• All customer drop-offs and pick-ups at its Sarasota headquarters, including the recently implemented Contactless Curbside Pick-Ups and Drop-Offs, have been suspended.
• Any additional employees who have been identified as being able to do a substantial portion of their work from home will be required to do so.

Concerned about your comics, or catching coronavirus?

CGC does not seem to be an essential service at all; they're using a very large general definition 'interact with customers electronically', to justify a service that is definitely not crucial for their own operating benefit.

Then again, Florida hasn't been doing very much to curb COVID-19 which is why they have so many reported cases.
