I have seen people say something similar online, how they literally have not left their house since sometime in March except for maybe once or twice a month to get groceries. They have even said they won’t go in the front yard In case someone walks by on the sidewalk and they aren’t wearing a mask. No idea if they will actually go in the backyard or they literally in the basement the entire time.

I know people who haven’t left their house/backyard since March 16 - the lockdown started here then. One couple is elderly with medical issues and they have their groceries delivered or I (and other neighbors) shop for them. Totally understanable.They’re in their 80s and just trying to live to the next day.

But others, young people. Young families who haven’t allowed their children outside except for their backyard, or middle aged couples who only go outside in their backyards.

It’s incredible really. People who haven’t seen their family in two months.

Back in March, one of my daughter’s and her fiance (he’s a junvenile diabetic), stopped seeing the rest of us. Understandable of course. They missed Easter dinner. So for Mother’s Day, I was like so...you coming or not. They came. They researched and decided he would be fine. Data showed it would be fine.

This keeping families away from one another is insane. Do people really want to live like that? I sure don’t.If my parents were alive today, there wouldn’t be a damn thing that could keep me away from them nor them, me.

This virus is sure damn smart to know that grocery stores, liquor stores, walmart, target, walgreens are safe but family getting together or parties of more than 10 or whatever number appear to be bad.

Seriously people, this is ridiculous.
