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.

The new normal is now most likely the normal.

Mankind is now a filthy animal where wearing masks to keep us from infecting each other will be advised, how wonderful.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Wow! I can’t imagine being so afraid of life that you would completely disengage like that. Thank you for staying home! Much more room at restaurants, bars, theaters and stores for the rest of us. Your new normal will not be our new normal. Make sure you bathe in bleach…

Enjoy your self imposed qwhuaranine while the rest of us PATRIOTS get back to normal.
