In a foreboding sign of things to come for Seattle, all of Spain is going into lockdown, just like all of Italy has been on lockdown. Beginning Monday, the Spanish government is "ordering people to stay at home unless they need to buy food or medicine or go to work or a hospital," reports the Guardian.

Additionally, Spain's recently enacted emergency powers "allow the government to limit the movement of people and vehicles in specified places, temporarily requisition goods, take over factories and businesses, ration the consumption of basic items and issue the necessary orders to ensure the provision of services."

Only essential businesses—"supermarkets, bakeries, butcher’s shops, fishmongers, greengrocers, petrol stations, pharmacies, tobacconists and newspaper kiosks"—will be allowed to remain open. Nice of them to include newspaper kiosks (do they still have those out there?). Very European of them to consider tobacconists "essential." Here's what things look like on the streets of Spain right now:
