I think we're already going stir crazy.

We just introduced our 1.5yr old to Thrift Shop.

 
Made the mistake of talking to my parents again- they were meeting friends for dinner - but it’s okay because the restaurant leaves an empty table in between everyone!

And they live in a Florida retirement town. Like they are the youngest at 75 I think in the entire town...

These are the (god damn) people we’re all going bankrupt for!

Que up the band....

 
Navy Federal Credit Union got a case down in FL. That's their HQ, and I've been inside their building, and those 10k people don't sit more than a few feet apart.

 
Are the beach pics making the rounds on the news accurate? Looks like a regular spring break crowd?

Grocery stores are exempt from the self service buffet line restrictions. Drive thru's remain open for business.

Store shelves are getting emptied by the hour. TP cannot be found anywhere. A resupply barge arrived today, should expect some stores to restock some supplies within the next 36 hours. Some local stores are having senior hours (first thing in the morning) with an ID check. Others have to wait.
