Coronavirus...post your thoughts here...

As our country (US) slowly starts opening up and other countries also begin opening gradually, tells us what your area is doing to ease restrictions and tell us your personal experience (such as what you see opening around you) . Do you see people still practicing social distancing...are most people wearing masks when going out and about?

Hopefully this easing of restrictions won't cause a spike in cases. Several states in the US still have large increases in cases and in deaths. Time will tell.

Lol nobody is wearing their masks properly and it's annoying me so bad

Lots of young adults around here are still breaking the laws regarding social distancing. Two nights ago I went for my walk and saw a group of young adults getting stoned in their car in a carpark. A few days before that and there were two parties in my neighbourhood, both had lots of cars on their front lawns. Security guards and staff at some shopping centres haven't complied with the laws at all and are regularly seen standing next to each other chatting.

I have only been going to the shops about once a week lately due to lack of cleaning products that I need to clean up after I get home. When I go to the shops I don't see many, if any people wearing masks. I have seen a couple of old people wearing home made masks like a bandana and I saw one lady wearing a proper mask while she was waiting at the chemist (pharmacist) for something.

As far as stores opening around here, the stores that have been open during this pandemic have remained open and everything else is still shut. Most of the bigger stores have closed earlier than normal to supposedly give them more time to clean and stock shelves.

Overall, apart from not being able to buy stuff and doing a little more disinfecting when I get home, my life is still the same as it was before this started. If anything, I like the restrictions and lack of people and traffic out in public and the air is noticeably cleaner with less dust.

So drugs and marijuanas are legal in your country?

 

[Colin_T]

No. They are illegal but people spend heaps of time using it in public places, in particular carparks.

Same with my country, drug dealers everywhere.
Is it true that selling human remains and skulls is legal in Australia?

No idea, I just burn the bones after I have eaten the person

LOL that reminds me, I broke down in my car owing to a water leak right next to a small carpark over looking a canal where people fish. I had to get out my car look under the bonnet which put my position in the right direct to see into another car with a young couple making out

Same. I saw a guy yesterday in Walmart that didn’t even have a mask and he was coughing near the fruits. I guess I’m going without apples until they restock...

If you soak the apples in soapy water it's ok, you can also peel them after soaking

48,900 deaths in the US today

Todays deaths was about 1500 so far today in US
48,900 is total deaths since virus started being reported.
