PubMed is surviving the government shutdown! Other sites not so much...

I just received an announcement that the U.S. census website will be shutting down, including American FactFinder. Here's a blurb from Bob Coats, Governor’s Census Liaison, North Carolina State Data Center -
The US Census Bureau is a Federal agency and is impacted by the Federal government shutdown.

The Census.gov website including the American FactFinder data engine are currently running, but Census staff plan to backup data today and shut down the Census website.  This is to eliminate hacking risks to unmonitored resources during the shutdown. 

State resources such as the Log Into North Carolina (LINC) online database and State Demographer websites remain up and running.

And in case you're wondering - PubMed is still operational.  But it looks like it will be going out of date as new records are not added.  Here is an announcement on their website -
