LOCKED: Coronavirus

Wal Mart is starting it tomorrow. One person per 1,000 square feet. It’ll reduce down to about 20% capacity. Stand outside and wait for someone to leave before you can go in. I imagine Kroger will be next. So I guess people will just be standing around outside instead?

One those iPhone alerts went off here today, like when a kid is abducted. It was calling for health professionals that could join the cause.

FOUR TIMES, in an hour.

the sound of breaking news alerts is enough to cause ptsd

So facial coverings are suggested in public, but in order for stores to protect their employees, can stores legally require customers to wear them to gain admittance?

I believe the cares act or whatever it’s called says that your job must give you full pay if you have to stay home from work to take care of children. No way should she be working under these circumstances. 

Agree with what you're saying.

What pisses me off even more is that, after we get what seems like good news (her son and the grandkids are fine) her fucking 25 year old daughter pulls a "heel turn" on us. Goes out to my Jeep to get a 2 liter of pop and is gone for a half an hour. She comes back in the house and my girlfriend asks her if she went for a walk. Nooo...she called friend in Ravenna to drive out and sit on the porch, side by side, and bullshit with her because she was "bored." Now I'm just hoping her daughters friend wasn't exposed to it after I thought we were pretty much clear of it. I've only been out like 2-3 times in a 4 week period.

LOL...sorry man, just pissed. My girlfriend and I are doing everything to safeguard against this shit and her daughter seems to think it's some hoax or some shit. The girl is basically a hermit, never comes out of her room, and now she's "stir crazy" and wants to socialize?

I understand. I think a lot of people are going to bend the rules as this goes on. But seriously, chokeslam someone anyways. 

Highs next weekend in the 40s with rain/snow mix. Good "standing outside waiting to get in the store" weather. Maybe you'll luck out and catch something else instead of the corona virus.

It's actually not that bad. It's just crowd control. It's not overrun inside and the checkout lines are manageable. The first time I went to a line it was at least 50 people long and it moved.

Interesting.  "Sciencing the shit out of it", 6 feet of social distancing equals roughly 113 square feet.  So Walmart using 1000 feet is exercising extreme caution.

If you use the recent hyperventilating 27 foot guideline, then you need 2300 sqft of distance.
