I was out for a drive today and I don’t think even with the lockdown measures enacted that the spread will be slowed enough. I went to the supermarket to get some necessities like milk and produce.

I drove by the Home Depot just to see and the parking lot was very busy. It was almost as full as a typical spring weekend. And based on my observation today less than half the people are wearing masks and even less so for gloves.

People still aren’t taking this seriously enough and are going to extend the lockdowns with their actions. I’m going to order any groceries online for now.

It's insanity on the roads here in Phoenix. I go out a few times a week to drop some shipments off in a post office box down the road. I have a to pass a Lowes and it's a full parking lot each time.

We grew 250 cases overnight too. So we've gone from 50 confirmed cases to 2019 in about 10 days.

City or County, State please.

Did the same here in northern va. Same observations. I did notice all the other shops are shuttered.

So let’s get this straight.

You’re saying that “People still aren’t taking this seriously enough”.

Yet you “drove by the Home Depot just to see...’

It sounds like you also aren’t taking this seriously. Because there’s a more than few FReepers that are adamant that you should get you business done and get back to your house. No side-trips, no sight-seeing - which it sounds like you were doing.

Yet, ‘nary a peep from those folks about you gawking.

I did not go “in” today - am trying to keep trips 6-7 days apart to extend the few masks I have as much as possible.* But a friend did and reported today was a bit busy. Possibly people are assuming that soon all stores still open will be implementing rules like Wal-Mart, and trying to beat that. Who wants to wait in a line outside the grocery for 2 hours?

Gloves are problematic. Better to have sanitizer stations all over the place.

How do you plan to avoid “problematic produce”? Such as those 5 bananas already a little overripe?

*My masks are primarily to keep me from sharing ANY bug I might have from my 89 y/o Mom. But, that includes trips to the store, now. Bloody Wal-Mart doesn’t have those little sanitizer towelettes @ the door any more - I guess they can’t get enough.

I’m planting a bigger garden this year, but “results” are many weeks away. Frost danger is almost gone...
