As we enter into this week, our fourth week of social distancing, our Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, has warned us that this week will be like September 11 and Pearl Harbor and to brace for the worst. Here's what is going on:
*Gas prices about 1 mile from my home are $1.69
*Self distancing measures are on the rise (Sams and Walmart only letting about 100 people in their store at one time)
*There is tape on the floors at grocery stores and others to help distance shoppers (6 ft) from each other
*Non essential stores and businesses mandated closed (my roots will be terrible by the time this is over)
*Parks, trails and entire cities are locked up
*Entire sports seasons are cancelled
*Concerts, tours, festivals and entertainment events are cancelled
*Weddings, family celebrations and holidays (including Easter) - cancelled
*No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more and now 5 or more
*Don't socialize with anyone outside of your home circle
*Childrens outdoor play parks are closed
*Panic buying; we have no toliet paper, paper towels or hand santizer
*Manufacturers, distilleries and other businesses switch their lines to help make visors, masks, hand sanitizer and PPE.
*Government closes the border to all non essential travel
*Fines are established for breaking the rules (our own town of Normal gave police to authority to break up groups of 10 or more)
*Stadiums and recreation facilities open up for the flow of Covid 10 patients.
*Press conferences daily from our President
*People wearing masks and gloves outside.
