Fort Worth has a shelter in place order. I don't know who is out bc I'm not, other than for walks.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
The order even allows liquor stores and recreational cannabis dispensaries to remain open for business should the second week of impromptu homeschooling create an essential need.
This just in from Dallas County:
- As stated above, our non essential business closure is collapsing daily as more businesses define themselves as essential and re-open. Private soccer field had players today.
- There does not seem to be a will to actively enforce restrictions.
- Some residual panic buying on water, meat, milk, canned goods, toilet paper, towels and sanitizer. But they are available- if one shops around.
Conclusion:
USA does not have asian style group cohesion or social discipline to maintain a quarantine with out direct and constant police enforcement. Dallas is not actively enforcing the measures.
A partial quarantine is pretty much no quarantine. So.... for good reasons, bad reasons or mediocre reasons, our COVID-19 rate is going to go up.
So true! In anthropology, we call it "corporate behavior" (when everyone acts as if One Person; something very much encouraged in yoga, Buddhist meditation, other meditation, Tibetan chanting and dancing, all of that).
Dallas is really individualistic....

Germany Imposes Tougher Restrictions on Public Life - DER SPIEGEL - International
- More than two people can't be outside together unless they're part of the same household.
- Going for a walk with a friend is fine, even if you don't live with them, but groups of three or more are forbidden unless you're family or roommates.
- A minimum distance of "at least 1.5 meters (5 feet), or better yet 2 meters" should be maintained whenever possible.
- In general, contact with people outside one's own household should be reduced to an absolute minimum. However, no mention was made of a ban on more than two people meeting indoors. Parties, however, are still not permitted -- not even inside one's own four walls.
- Going for a run, a walk, riding a bike, playing with your kids or taking your dog out are all fine. So is stationary exercise, like calisthenics, as long as you're not doing it in a group.
- Going to work is allowed, so is emergency care for children.
- Grocery shopping, doctor's visits, necessary appointments, helping others in need (e.g. running errands for an elderly person) -- all fine.
- All restaurants, cafes and pubs must close. However: You can still have food delivered or go pick it up if take-away is offered and bring it back home.
- Hairdressers, beauty salons, massage parlors and tattoo studios must also stay closed.
- Germany's federal and state governments had already agreed to close all public and private sports facilities, swimming pools, fitness studios, playgrounds, bars, clubs, movie theaters, concert halls, museums, trade shows, exhibitions, zoos, casinos and other gambling establishments and brothels.
- Religious services in churches, mosques and synagogues are similarly prohibited.
I still go to work in my office every day by bike. It takes me about 20 minutes and at least I get a little exercise and fresh air that way.
About 75% of my colleagues work from home.
All of us can still work at full capacity since the company I work for owns grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers which are doing great a the moment of course.
I'm doing okay since I'm an introvert anyway but 4 more weeks of this is going to be a challenge, especially since spring is coming and every German is yearning to go out in the sun after the grey months.
IKR all being homeschooled are gonna drive adults to drink and smoke pot. That is exactly how the governor said that and that is how it soundsThat could be a lifesaver for some, lol!
