“The day after ‘we’ locked down, the parking lot at the local walmart was totally full, cars parked up and down the road. More than black friday even. Giant gaggles of people milling around in the parking lot.”

Same here for Lowes, tons of people shopping at Lowes for home improvement and garden items.

I can understand shopping for garden stuff. Totally.

These people were’t really shopping, they were milling around.

Nowhere else to go, nothing to do, go to walmart and ‘visit’.

Fortunately for my county it appears that the meat plant people either weren’t infected yet or didn’t go to walmart a whole lot with crowds of locals.

We shopped Lowes in Arkansas last week and I never saw their parking lot so full. Shoppers inside fewer with masks than without. Employees mostly had masks. This week we were at another Lowes and same story. Full parking lot and long lines lumber and such dept. No trouble getting plywood or other supplies. People making good use of their down time.
Also, the grocery stores are well supplied and toilet paper in all of them. Meat and poultry still plentiful. Hope barber shops open soon. I have trimmed my husbands hair along the lines of last cut but I would gladly turn the job back to his barber. I am no threat to her at all.

A friend told us a nearby town’s parking lots were full last week and nearly everything was open.

What lock down?
