uh oh local county has one confirmed county nextdoor , actually closer to me has 2 .so far the markets are doing alotta business , but with a little creative shopping practices got every thing i needed this trip.. even a healthy smoothie at a very long line drive through smoothie place.

People are still over buying toilet paper and other hand sanitizes and baby wipes and there is still a shortage on baby diapers.

People here in Oregon are not taking this virus seriously because they are young and don't think it will kill them and they will recover from it if they get sick and they are still going out and having fun like nothing, going to the beach for one, going out to parks and nature parks. The funny thing is people are showing their frustration online about people being too close to each other and not staying home so I told everyone in that thread maybe all those people have the same idea as you and are maybe thinking the exact same thing as you, and the OP agreed with me.
Stores are still open and so are our malls. Schools are closed and Dave and Busters and museums and the zoo and all bars and restaurants but people are still going out and shop and still are out on the road. There are less cars on the road though because many people have been laid off. We no longer have rush hour. We still have take out and drive thrus open. Now people on bicycles and scooters and skateboards are coming up to the drive thru to order. This normally would not be acceptable but now they are allowing it because they closed all the dining rooms.

I am not really scared of this virus because I can't worry about something I have no control over and what might happen or if this is the beginning of Life After People. But some people have gotten real crazy and I am not sure if it has been a coincidence seeing more crazies on the commute train. One lady thought she was being harassed because some man was looking at her and then he walked towards her so she called for help and got kicked off the train instead. Then last night one man refused to get off and kept saying to security "You told me to put my feet down and I did" and said they were harassing him and he wasn't getting off the train. They eventually gave up and he stayed on.

Places here are definitely sanitizing everything but Gamestop is not so watch out when you shop there.

Not everyone is going to take this seriously unless the gov orders all stores to close and shut down and orders car dealerships to close too, etc. But that won't stop people from going outside and walk and food stores and pharmacies will still be open and gas stations because people are still working and car repair places may stay open because people gotta fix their cars.

this is odd.. its sunday here and have seen more cars on the street than previous work week...
am not sure how this is being justified since all the churches are closed .. Just Odd.

This morning,Sunday, I and 3 other women, and 2 men were who attended church.
The city or state had told them only 10-15 people.
Next Sunday the service will be streamed...the church doors will be closed.
I never thought that that would ever happen in my lifetime.

I hope they limit the lockdown to the original 15 day period. Otherwise I might have to take over the world. And that is such a chore.

Where is Superman , when we need him. ...... this has just gone from bad to impossibly bad. Its all ok , untill they lockdown your City ... And your income has just been clipped . Been through alot but , this is nothing like ever seen before. ....
