What's wrong with getting married with a מנין מצומצם? Plenty of people from a previous generation got married that way and had wonderful marriages.
Only way to do it is count the kallah as one of the 10

Major mall by us closed indefinitely. Might be taking a road trip with daughter.
Are you comfortable staying in a hotel? Using public restrooms?

Hotel no but restrooms I can take simple precautions. It would be to visit family. Would normally fly but I don't mind driving.

I would be cautious of supply chain issues with gas.

My implication was that these problems are bound to spread.

Italy is still going pretty good and they are on total lock down. With everyone not traveling I would think gas would not have a shortage. No decision made yet.

Logic doesn’t always prevail. There is an actual shortage in LA.

True, will monitor the situation. I also have a daughter halfway to LAS so that would be my first stop.

It's definitely harder for people to stock up on gasoline. So as long as production continues as regular, we shouldn't expect a  real shortage. Most shortages happen when there's a production issue (natural disasters, terrorism, embargo's, etc.) or supply chain issues (natural disasters)

Or when there is a panic issue...

not really. Most people can only fill up a tank or two of gas. It may cause a very brief shortage if everyone does it at the same time but if their not traveling much, it their not filling up again for a while. It simply a matter of logistics that most people can't store gas but can store toilet paper.

Hope that all the workers required to keep the gas flowing are able to get to work undisturbed.

With public schools closed I expect all other schools will follow suit sooner or later. Anyone has the list of schools that already announced closure?
