WUT? You don’t answer polls honestly? Shame. LOL! If a number isn’t on my contacts list (IF my phone happens to be on which ain’t very often) it doesn’t get answered.
I’m assuming your’re very high risk for this virus and sickly, so even the flu and other potential diseases floating out there coudl threaten your life.
But there’s no way half the country will live under a roof of someone idea of a “New-normal”.......not even close. Impossible in a nation of people that love freedom of movement and where they go.see...and eat.
I had to wait in line for 45 minutes to get into the Bass Pro Shops in Etiwanda, Calif. yesterday--a policy that is mandated by the government. This is not only asinine but fatuous, because forcing people to crowd together in a line will do more to spread the virus than allowing them to roam freely in a spacious big-box store, where, out of concern for their health, they will naturally "social distance.".
You’re free to do that.
For the record, I plan to support a local family owned restaurant in my town the night restrictions are lifted by enjoying a meal at their table.
We’ve been getting take out at least once a week since Lockdown Larry, our wonderful Governor has so deemed we cannot congregate.
You’re not alone....after the last few years in retail dealing with a demanding and highly rude and volitile public I have no desire to hang out with other than my close friends and family.
I’m not surprised Lowes was crowded......esepcially since things will be fully opening soon everywhere and people want to use the time to left to get projects done.
I agree, for the most part people are just lousy.
Have lived alone for years, just the way I was built. My daughter is the same, with university closed she has really enjoyed this quarantine her mother cannot give her grief for staying in her room drawing her art.
Are you also in Oregon? We have Fred Meyers here.
You sound like my daughter. She’s an editorial assistant for a Christian publishing house and working from home. She lights up her monitor in the morning and spends the day reading books and doing her editing work. When work is done, she spends her evenings reading.
She’s absolutely loving this.
I can guarantee you are correct. They are thriving in this environment. I cant tell how but I’ve seen some of the numbers. All of the bog box stores are weathering this well.
I fear for the smaller stores that for some reason are unsafe to shop at.
This survey is n excellent argument for completely ending the lockdown now. It shows people who regard themselves as particularly vulnerable will (HORRORS AND SURPRISE OF SURPRISES) actually look out for their own welfare and avoid situations where they are potentially vulnerable, while the generally less vulnerable will move courageously to open the economy and get it going again.
Let them stay home, the rest of us will be out having a good time.
I’m an IT guy supporting a couple hundred hapless, helpless, and hopeless manufacturing people who are close to my last nerve at times.
They are all nice and well meaning.
After a day of them, I don’t have it in me to be sociable.
I’m looking at moving on. Almost 8 years here of the same and many more to come. It’s rather flat structured.
I think that’s part of the aging process too. Feeling like you just don’t have time for the bullcrap anymore.

Right on! This is the consolidation of power!
Past the max BS capacity marker.
Funny you should mention that. Before I was a cop I was in retail. I looked at law enforcement as an improvement because if people pissed me off as a cop there was generally something I could do about it.

that’s ok easier fir the rest of us to get a table! I can’t wait to be able to eat out again and I desperately need a girls weekend in the mountains
I have 3 older sisters and they are all anxiety ridden about the fact that I live alone at a distance from the rest of my family. And I’m like “No,I’m good”. They think I’m misery ridden because I’m alone. Nope.

Time I have, patience not so much.
