    A few more types of stores are starting to open up in a limited "controled-traffic" way or else re-opening but for curbside pickup or pick-up-and-leave. To be allowed to open, the retail location must have its own to-the-curb access. Strip malls but not enclosed malls. Places like car dealerships by appointment only - that kind of thing.

    Non-medical masks are currently recommended for all situations where social distancing may be problematic (eg not necessarily for walk if in a wide-open setting (lots of room to pass and not many people anyway - but do if in more congested city streets / lineups / in stores)

    I live and work in a historic town. On the way home tonight, I passed a ghost tour that must have had 50 people in the group, nobody wearing masks, all standing next to each other, no social distancing. I also saw people on benches outside the bars, no masks, right next to each other. A lot of people just don't care and laugh it off. If one is sick that person will pass it on to many, many more.

    Yes x3
    Stayed under by 50 (eating back exercise calories).

    Made enchiladas which were delicious.

    I've started using my Fitbit watch to directly start an exercise when doing calisthenics workouts which I think leads to a more accurate calorie count than logging it afterwards in the app. I'm sure whether to use weights or workout for calisthenics but went with workout since it's more general.

    @Hulya_79, love your creativity when it comes to exercise!!

    @cjane917, I like that feature, too. I have started using it even for the supposed auto-recognize exercises since my Fitbit wasn't always catching them.

    Took a pass day. I didn’t log anything, did exercise, and came way under goal. I just took a much needed down day. 🤷‍♀️

    The mask recommendation only came out three or four days ago, and is precisely BECAUSE things are beginning to open up more.

    The potential for what you are mentioning scares DH (on my account) which is why he is THRILLED to hear that my post will continue to be work-from-home potentially "almost indefinitely". Work in my sector (federal public service) is finally waking up to the fact that "work is what you do, not where you go" and that far more categories of business lines can be successfully done by distributed teams working offsite than originally willing to admit.

    The opening process is bound to vary from country to country, and even jurisdiction to jurisdiction within parts of the same country. I feel very fortunate to be living in Canada, where the national approach is science-led and the reopening will be slowly staged, with the understanding that there with be at least 2 to 3 weeks between "next stage" and if the numbers don't remain below a predetermined threshold acceptable level, then either the next stage doesn't start yet or we revert a bit.
