This is from a different perspective, from a Central American country.

What are things like in your area? Can you still move or sell a property? Are things like hunting or fishing temporarily banned? Can you still purchase garden seeds at the stores there? In some areas, people are telling me that such things are not even allowed anymore...

Probably not sell property, mostly because the market completely froze over. With the uncertainty, individuals are not buying. Moving... NO. There is no interstate travel. Within the city, limited travel as well.

I would also add.. your friend has the right idea to move to a rural area where you can grow your own food and live simpler lives. The economic impact that continues unrolling will take decades to recover (i think). Money will not save anyone, live free options will.
