I would be staying home and having groceries delivered There is no grocery delivery here in the boonies other than Amazon, Boxed, etc... I buy things online and visit the local store once a week or so depending on what we need to restock. I've been stocking up for the upcoming local outbreak. I would be seriously shocked if this area doesn't have one. And, when it does, I don't want to have to leave home for a while. You can order food through Amazon Whole Foods Did this and produce was good, prices were not too much higher than my local grocery store You seem very worried and might want to see if Amazon Whole food delivery is possible. I wouldn’t go place where lots of people aren’t wearing masks or taking precautions Take care of yourself even if others aren’t Hoping your son is ok

I have gotten deliveries from both whole foods and amazon fresh.
I would definitely question management on the clerk no longer wearing masks - it may help them if they want to wear masks and mgmt had complaints from more vocal clients about it.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

But she's in a new, very rural area. No one knows her yet. She doesn't really need to be the snotty newcomer know it all in her new area.

Amazon Fresh isn't available here. Neither are many of the online services I read about others using.
I actually do know the owner of the store I shop at. I volunteered to make deliveries out of the area for elders who aren't able to travel to the store for them when this first started. I've also talked to them about a special order. Nice people and good employers.
I'm not going to complain about anyone not wearing masks. I don't really think they do much to keep people safe. I think they are more about people feeling better about their risk than anything else.
And, while I don't think people believe me for some reason, no one here wears masks... When I go to town I see 100 people and 2 of them will be elderly and have a mask on.
I happen to think most of the population will get this at some point because there's no plan for people not to get it. I'm not scared of it, I just understand I would be high-risk for serious complications and I have no desire to live the rest of my life with holes in my lungs and unable to do the things I like to do.
I find it scary that this virus isn't yet understood and people are awfully eager to do things like send kids back to school. I think that's a phenomenally bad idea until more is known about COVID19's length of infection and lingering effects.
My son isn't doing terribly well. Last night he came downstairs and his pupils were huge and he said his chest felt tingly and he couldn't breathe. He said it felt different than the normal seizure stuff. Thankfully, it only lasted a few minutes and then he felt fine again.
The CBD oil has stopped all of the seizure activity since the first time he took it. At this point, only the muscle twitching remains and whatever happened to him last night.

We just got Instacart here. It was sloooooowly catching on before COVID, and it took off as soon as the disease did.
All the unemployed waitresses are now instacart shoppers.
We also just got a new Grubhub type service started by some local people, which is also staffed with teh newly unemployed. I don't think it would have taken off like it did without COVID.

Failing to believe what experts are saying, and refusing to learn lessons from those who have experienced it is stupid. And you can criticize the first to experience this all you want, but if those areas that are ignoring advice and the experience gained have a significant outbreak, I can assure you I will call them stupid. Mistakes were made in NY, no doubt. But again, the Federal government, the people who are supposed to protect the nation, ignored this, and the person who was the head called it a hoax, and he still refuses to take it seriously. He now wants to change the death numbers, because he "feels" they are too high. Its all about optics, not doing what is necessary. So, every time you say Cuomo screwed up, I will counter with Trump, because as Truman said "The buck stops here", whereas Trump says "It is not my fault". Who would you like to lead you in a crisis I would like for him to shut up for once and listen to the experts. Dr. Fauci has been in charge of this sort of thing since I was born. He's forgot more about viruses and pandemics than Trump will ever know. But the problem is Trump has to think he's the smartest guy in the room. He wants this whole problem to just go away. He's not interested in hearing facts that conflict with his desired version of reality. And that has sadly cost us a whole bunch of lives. Because Trump says it's no big deal and there's a whole lot of people who live and die by what he says. I don't know when society got so stupid and gave up on science. I think the underappreciated part of this (while agreeing we should let smarter people be in charge of the pandemic stuff) is that nothing happening here is really pure pandemic stuff. It's the balancing of pandemic with economic. Ultimately, we're never going to listen to Fauci or the CDC directly, because their goal is not the goal of the government (regardless of who is in charge of the government). Ultimately, the best course of action would be to not have Fauci talking at all, but to have a President who had great advisers, who listened to his advisers, and could coherently put forth a balanced economic/healthcare plan.

No, he needs to explain the medical part of this, since he can do so best. But he should only be discussing this. Elected officials should make the policy, based on input from all affected concerns. But, as Hoops pointed out, we needed a coherent and well thought out plan. Even then, it could turn out badly, but we would at least have contingencies already thought out as well. But, we now appear to be disregarding the inconvenient fact that the virus is still out there, and at most 5% of the population has had it. Not feeling confident in our game plan.

There was the Pandemic handbook that was put together by the Obama administration and it was left to gather dust on the shelf. The reopening plan appears to have been shelved as well. It doesn't matter how many well made plans you put together if you do not have the leadership to follow through with them, whether they are right or wrong. Right now, there is NO game plan. None.

You know that everything obama left was the worst, and everything trump does is the best. So now we have the best pandemic, unfortunately, he did not realize it was actually going to be the best of the worst.

Although McConnell has walked back and is now admitting that yes, Obama did leave a pandemic playbook for them.
