Our aisles in the local markets are narrow... 2 carts can barely pass each other... so 6' distance can't be maintained. I thought they might move some tables in the produce section, given that most are empty, but they haven't. You can barely maintain a 3' distance there, but as I said, everyone's reaching over or standing next to others anyway.
Sure, the older folks are all wearing masks, but I get it... many might have slighter immune systems or genuine health issues. They're scared. If I had small kids, I'd probably be more worried about them, as well & wouldn't allow them into the markets right now.
Yeah, the gloves are confusing in regard to employees. If you touch a contaminated surface, you're continually spreading germs to everything else you touch, so...
My market didn't have any fruit anyway... the reason I went out, so I just got some canned peaches & will make do. They were rationing everything anyway... took back some cans at the register (I was allowed 4) & I found the last 2 pkgs of bathroom paper & they took back one... although, an employee walked out behind me with a giant 60-pack of TP when none was on the shelf. Whatever... Oh, they did have a $19 container of cut watermelon... that seems like price gouging to me.
I'm just going to get out for a walk 1-2 times/day for a cabin fever fix, since the beaches are closed. No one is walking anyway... I've only once come across someone on a bike & he rode out into the street to get passed me. Same thing with a golf cart... all the old folks drive golf carts down secondary roads for errands... they just drove into the street to pass me. One walker crossed the street when she saw me coming her way from 30' away. You're right... it's easy to maintain distance on the sidewalks right now.
We'll all make it. It's tough, no matter the situation... some are climbing the walls with kids & spouses or roommates... others alone are suffering from loneliness. Working is stressful, so is being laid off, so is having no job at all. We're all on the same train, different car, but most of us will be okay in the end.
And, lots of us have family who are ill that we can't reach or are ill ourselves. My mum & 1 brother were just diagnosed with CV, both far away, so the rest of us can't do anything to help. But, that's the case for many.
I just began opening my windows each day, too... the outside air & sounds makes me feel like there are other humans in the world.
Be healthy & have a good weekend.
Glad you're getting out for walks, and making efforts to still stay connected. Hope your mom and brother recover quickly.
I made it to the grocery store early this morning. A lot of things like salad, some apples, avocados, sweet potatoes, and various fruits were gone from the produce section. But, was still decently stocked. Have noticed prices have gone up since last time I went shopping. Not to the gouging stage yet. But, I expected price increases during this time.
It's been very eerily quiet of late too. Last night the streets were more or less dead after 8:00pm, which is a change since I live on an extremely busy, major street within the city.
It's still a bit cool here to keep windows open for long. But, I do have vents open which let some fresh air. I'm getting about 30-60 minutes of exercise a day. Whether it's stationary cycling, &/or some strength training via calisthenics with a few kettlebells or dumbbells I have. Even with that, I've dropped about 11 pounds since March 26th. I'm sure it's a mix of muscle and fat. But, overall my eating has been really clean compared to prior.
Have a great weekend

Let me know. If I ever make it that far, I’m gonna need that kind of insider knowledge.1 -

You know, I once saw this quote from the book "The *kitten* it diet", it said...
"There is no perfect stopping point, it's just another dieting myth"...
I cried 😭...Not really, but it struck me pretty deep2 -

I think I'm still paying north of $2.50 a gallon, but I fill-up my sled with the highest octane available.
.... and I just checked, unleaded here is at $2.39 a gallon.
It's probably because you're paying those bogus, confiscatory California added fuel taxes.2 -
