Coworker crying because her husband was still working because she was worried he might get sick.
She's been watching too much CNN.
Family at Walmart picking up bags of oranges. Looking at them then putting them back for over a half hour.
Guy wearing porous gardening gloves to protect from the virus.
Gardening gloves that is great!
I hope that family found some great oranges. :)
Here they have cattle chutes outside and inside supermarkets. If they're still setup when I need groceries I'll buy direct from the farmer and turn my garage into a slaughterhouse.
The real point is to give the appearance of having made an effort to enforce social distancing. Corporations are scared to death (no pun intended) of negative press or law suits accusing them of not taking sufficient precautions, and so where they can and where it's obvious they enforce these stupid restrictions. Only allow a certain nbr of shoppers in the store at any one time so that the density is low BUT if idiot individuals want to stand next to each other in the aisles well there's not much they can do about that.
People of course see all of these actions and internalize it, leading to moronic behavior at the individual level. As well the FUD (fear uncertainty doubt) factor is large. For example my buddy's a pretty bright guy but we ran an errand the other day and he insisted on wearing his mask in the car. He tried to pass it off as a lark but it's clear that 'fear of the unknown' was driving it. There were lots of other cars with people wearing masks so he's in good company at least.
That's funny, I saw a guy wearing a mask in a car today. Doesn't make much sense, but I guess if it makes you feel better, go for it.
faggot mountain bike guy points and yells 6 feet apart as he rides past me on a trail.
