I already wash my hands, social distance, never go anywhere. though the social distancing sure got easier when everything was locked down. I already had a large perimeter personal space requirement when this thing came along. I am lucky to not live in a crowded urban environment. (not sure which caused which - chicken or egg thing going on there)

I still have to leave the house to buy groceries because we can't get them delivered here. Also going to medical appointments, but my wife and I are still in quarantine and will keep that going until....who knows?

I have now gone out a few times, but with a mask, social distanced and sanitizers, plus sanitize phone, keys and anything I have touched while I have been out.

I rarely see unmasked people. Probably partly due to the hours I try to do my shopping but even if I go later in the day, pretty much everyone is compliant with Governor Whitmer's mask mandate. And when I do see a bare face, I turn and head in the opposite direction.

I carry extra masks, hand sanitizer AND sanitizing wipes with me, where ever I go and do a thorough handwashing before and after putting things away.

Fortunately, my county has made great progress. There's still a spread being diagnoses but it's very low. Hopefully we will be back at that flattened curve, soon.

I have enough food and supplies on hand for well over a month but I keep stocked up in case there's a complete shut down.

As long as I have eggs, milk, cheese, rice, pasta and spices in my pantry, I can make due with what I have in the garden and the freezer. My tomato and pepper crops are exploding, this year, and I'll be utilizing the bounty and sharing it with family.

I also have a nice supply of canned tuna and a couple other canned goods set aside.

I still picked all of the above, because my son orders out, but he is in college.

I would order out myself, but I have to respect my wife and she will not let me do it. So home cooked meals all the way.

Supposedly 2 days a week but this coming week I am in the office in the mornings to run Zoom meetings.

My wife and daughter almost never leave the house. Only really for family drives TO get out of the house.

Is you have to do all of the above because they enforce the rules with stiff fines and penalties.

Not only that US Freedumbs, There are two days we can’t use our cars!!!

AND on weekends you can’t leave at all. Unless for for take out only food or medical emergencies.

AND only one of you in a store at one time. No couples.

If you are not in an orange zone you can not enter an orange zone. Orange zones have all the good grocery and and Walmarts.

We think the US has many fools and liars.

started? I am working on home renovations so I do go to Menards once in a while as well but they require everyone to wear masks. My husband has already been sent home twice to quarantine because of co-workers testing positive, but so far we've been lucky and nobody in our house has gotten sick.

Seldom leaving home (130 days and counting) and exercising caution when I must leave home for some reason.

I wear a mask outside WHEN I'm in proximity to others.

I go out shopping 1-2 times a week, and go out for dinner on Fridays.

We just got back from a week in the finger lakes with woodland hikes, inside and outside dining and wine tastings. We rented a room with a private entrance to limit engagement with others.

And it drives me crazy the number of people in my building that are going out without masks, including the building's super.
