They will temporarily. Once it’s clear it’s safe the new normal will be the old normal. I do like the hand washing though

I avoided people before the pandemic. Why? Because after 25 years in law enforcement people piss me off.

We now order what we want from HD online.

In about 2 hours, they notify us that order is ready.

So we drive to their parking lot past the long lines of grim faced people waiting to get in.

Then we park in the designated pickup parking spots and dial the # on the little bill board.

In a few minutes they bring the items to your vehicle and load them into your vehicle.

Then, we drive past the grim in line people and go home.

On weekends Lowe’s in limiting access to their stores. Home Depot too. I can assure you that their sales are above normal right now.

This will all pass. Right now the media is scaring the living daylights out of people.

Same thing in Reno. Almost like a normal (?) day. We saw a Greyhound bus downtown the other day and were both like “HUH?”. Who’s riding it and where are they going? LOL!

Good. I was hoping you and your wife would self-quarantine for several more years.

Lowes is restricting access too. If they’re not in your area, it’s because demand isn’t high enough.

I spent some time in LE (USAF-OSI) not nearly as long as you but people still piss me off. The older I get the more they piss me off.

Obviously the ‘who’ and u.n. need more American money to keep studying that horrible death rate of 100% world wide. :-)

Yes it is nonsense.

Incredible how many caved so quickly to just voluntarily handing over their rights.

China is a big loser in this, but one thing for sure is that the scientific community has permanently damaged itself. This problem was building, with as much as 82 percent of all scientific papers being bogus.

Put this and the stupid warming morons and the bogus UW model for this virus and the midget who couldn’t come up with an HIV virus now telling everyone to not breathe until they come up with a vaccine - and its over.

Their credibility is shot.

Trump has played this perfectly....now its all on the leftist rat governors....

....

Yep, I hear you! Trump is in an unenviable position! I truly hope these rat Govs have cornered themselves in, and lose lifelong Dem voters over their blatant unconstitutional actions with these restrictions in freedoms!

I can tell you my wife and I will not be going to any restaurants until next year, we will basically be practicing self quarantine regardless of the economy opening up, so will probably half the country. This will be the new-normal, the country will not return to normal for years to come, if ever.

We did our first pickup dinner order last week. I placed the order on line to a favorite restaurant.

They texted me that at 6:15 pm our order could be picked up.

We drove to their designated parking area (it was loaded with vehicles with people waiting for their order). In a few minutes after texting them, that we were there. They brought out our order, gave it to us and we left.

The Lowes I went to Saturday was absolutely mobbed. Had to wait in line just to get a shopping cart. Wait to pay was more than 20 minutes. Never saw it like that before the pandemic.

LOL...You live in an alternate reality.... Going to restaurants, bars and vacations is what singles and childless couples live for..... especially professionals who live in small apartments in expensive big cities.... Take those things away from them and they will completely lose their minds.... You think they’re all the sudden gonna decide to move to a house in the suburbs or a small town and have kids, and sit down for home cooked family dinners every night like people used to do?... Not happening, my friend..... we are living in post-Christian America, where children are raised to think that your career and leisure activities are all that matters in life

A lot of folks would need a new set of “Grampers” if the knew what was inside the semi their driving next to. Or the box car on the train going through town.

Shorter waits for restaurant tables and no Karen Democrats when you get there. I fail to see the downside.
