Many closures and orders to stay 6 feet apart but people are ignoring and there is no enforcement. Schools are closed but kids are playing in groups on the school playgrounds and parents are allowing it. Teens are playing basketball in the parks and at the schools and again, parents are allowing it.
Yes- and believe me, it is a hot topic on our neighborhood websites in the area. Because half the neighbors are posting comments like, “Kids will be kids” and “I bet you ignored advice when you were a teenager too.”Wow! This is scary! Also, talk about irresponsible parenting!

I went to a grocery store and was stopped at the door for my forehead to be scanned before I was allowed in. All employees wore masks and gloves.
Oh wow, they took your temperature before you could enter the grocery store! That's a new one I haven't heard before.
Our grocery stores have seniors only at the beginning of each day, they allow only 15 shoppers in the stores at once, limits are on all items to prevent hoarding, mandatory 2 metre physical distancing, shopping carts are cleaned with spray stuff, shoppers must sanitize their hands, clerks wear gloves, no cloth bags allowed, but you can wheel your groceries unbagged to your car and package them up there, huge sign on door warning returning snowbirds that 14 day isolation is mandatory.
There's a state of emergency here but people seem to have issues with following protocols like this one:
Avoid non-essential gatherings and stay home as much as possible.
Yesterday I saw groups of people at the sports park playing well, sports. And just in the few seconds driving by, I saw many violating the social-distancing guidelines. We had to go to the vet and pick up meds, otherwise we would not have been out.
One of the local grocery stores posted pleading with people to stop bringing their kids and friends grocery shopping. I understand but I don't know what they think some people are going to do with their kids - they're out of school and many are single parent homes and the parents need groceries. Even those who had regualr babysitters can't use that option now.
I'm confused on whether I should be going for my daily walk. I'm alone and step 6 ft. away when I come across anyone but is it considered essential? Idk.
