The government has to outlaw this activity or it will happen. It’s just human nature. We just got a letter from the govt with the guidelines saying keep groups at 10 or less. If that’s what the govt (local and federal) suggests, that’s what people will do.
I mean this in a completely non discriminatory way. It also could be a cultural issue for me? I live in an almost entirely Dominican neighborhood. Backyard cooksout, BBQs and loud spanish/mexican music is always on blast. FWIW I chose to live here, I love my neighborhood and I'm glad they love me, but at least in my neighborhood, everyone is out and about. MY african american neighbor hasn't left his house in weeks. We text back and forth to stay in touch in case one of us needs something but we've been the quietest 2 houses on the block. (I'm the biggest gringo in the world BTW, other than being able to speak fluent Spanish)
Local news had a video segment this afternoon of a number of groups (perhaps 10-15 people) fleeing a soccer field, jumping fences, and tearing out in their vehicles after news cameras began fiming. Apparently, the police had already instructed them to leave. This occurred in Gaithersburg, MD, just outside of DC.
Yeah, I've been surprised to read those types of posts. Not seeing it at all where I am (Seattle area). Went to the grocery yesterday for the first time in two weeks, and everyone was very purposefully staying a safe distance from each other. The grocery helped by having tape down everywhere showing six-foot distances, cashiers behind large plastic shields, gloves and sanitizer available all over the store, wiping down the conveyor and credit-card machine after every customer, etc.
Take a look at the home page and scan the list of articles. Maybe he's the editor?
2 weeks ago when it was 40 degrees out, it was a ghost town. Today when it hit near 70 for the first time in many months, it was like Dorothy stepping out of her house into Munchkin Land.Yeah, I've been surprised to read these types of posts.

I've also done a few walks this week, and when I come across anyone we all naturally move far apart. I live within blocks of three schools and have seen no kids on any of the athletic fields, playgrounds, etc. In fact I've barely seen anyone out at all. Guess different areas are having different results. Of course, people in Seattle are generally unfriendly and socially distant anyway, so maybe that helps.
Glad to hear that since my mom is in Kent. We don't have this level of containment in my area.Yeah, I've been surprised to read these types of posts. Not seeing this at all where I am (Seattle area).

Ohio hospitals are saving their used masks in hopes that they can eventually be sterilized.
I think part of it is that each day ppe and ventilators are not arriving to hospitals where they are counting down their days to their individual doomsday is elevating the urgency and fear.
We Minnesotans are used to being more or less homebound 3 or more months every year. That may have something to do with it. In my city, the streets and neighborhoods are quiet and when my family and I are out for walks joggers and dog walkers cross the street out of courtesy. Also, this city isn't very large and has very few densely packed areas. May be the safest place in the country right now.
Waiting on FDA approval to sterilize masks. https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/ohio-company-waits-for-fda-approval-on-tech-to-sterilize-masks/amp/
Not really. This one started March 7, and the cruise was supposed to end about a week ago in Chile. It's been floating around looking for a place to go for a while, and finally headed back to Florida a couple of days ago.
Seems like they’re also smart and understand what’s at stake.Of course, people in Seattle are generally unfriendly and socially distant anyway, so maybe that helps.
Almost impossible since it has so many traits like the common cold, flu, or allergies. Runny nose, upset stomach, diarrhea, aches and pains. If your temperature is elevated means you may have been a carrier possibly. GL
The general mood here seems to be slightly optimistic, all things considered. I do feel like businesses and people here took some of the more extreme precautions pretty quickly, and of course since we were the first to get cases, we're a little ahead of the curve in that way, too.
Fort Lauderdale, if that helps at all. (Are you in Tampa?)
Yes, Tampa. Keep them all as far away as possible. (None of them are coming into my living room so whatever I guess)
Reminds me about what my oncologist told me regarding cancer. All it takes is for 1 sleeper cell to have been missed in treatments and when it wakes up, bam. It's back. So it's a similar feeling of possibly being cvoid asymptomatic and with the possibility of getting worse, especially those of us with a sucko profile to begin with. Except for us it's for life.
