In these last 3 days, i've been paying attention to teens' behaviour (all local adolescents who are hanging with each other and enjoying freedom from schools and colleges). There are so much of them everywhere, that i couldn't continue ignoring them. They are constantly hugging and kissing each other, and what's the worst,- they are leaning on all possible surfaces and literally wiping these surfaces with their faces.
(They are lying on public benches with their face down, they are poking glass windows of kiosks with their noses, they are dabbing tables at small diners, like "Shawarma", with their foreheads, ...etc.). Uuuggghhh...
Hello Shyvas
Don't understand why all countries aren't the same.
Hello Shyvas
When I went out to get the parent's essentials, we all had to queue 2 metres apart outside the supermarket, and there were lines marked on the floor all along the aisles. Queued half an hour. In the lobby there was a spray pump of anti-bacterial cleaner so we all sprayed our trolley handles and wiped with disposable paper towels. After shopping, had to queue in one aisle next to each marked line, and guided to till so only one person at a time was at till, and then exit. Couldn't go back in if you forgot something as aisle blocked to exit. Or you'd have to queue again! I felt safer, but, still uncomfortable being in a place with other people. They were delibrately limiting the number of people they were letting in, and staff were wearing gloves.
Me too... but have to get stuff for parents, including prescriptions (another queue with only one person allowed in Chemist's at a time). Tried to joke about it to Dad, had to laugh when he said he would rather go to my funeral than his own!
People in queues over here are literally "sitting on your head"!

I believe it, Yang loves to attack my legs when I leave the computer room.
Yes, having a nasty attitude serves no purpose. I get that people are coming from a place of fear, but kvetch by yourself, swear a blue streak into a pillow or something. If people feel compelled to comment on something, they ought to consider waiting 10 seconds before hitting the send button. Many people seem to lack any civility, compassion or empathy anymore.
Yay on the appraisal!!!!...
on that note, the appraisal is Monday!
Our governor just limited store customers to 50 at a time. They are doing the same here with the lines to keep people 6 feet apart in my state. And some stores have put up plexiglass shields between cashiers and shoppers.Hello Shyvas

Agreed!! I've been FaceTiming with family or just talking on the phone. We have to suck it up for a while!
Yeah, it's the vacationers that really get my goat. They are basically showing up two months early, and I can see why people in those states are freaking out a little bit given the situation. That's unnecessary travel, IMHO. Your moving is a different story.So I’m kind of seeing the whole thing in a different light thanks to everyone’s input. If I can totally understand that people shouldn’t “vacation”, it stands to reason that just because I’m moving permanently, the fact that I’m still “traveling” to get there isn’t much different. I guess it just feels like “I belong” there so I’m thinking I’m not like a visitor lol. I don’t know. I guess that’s silly now that I think of it. Same with people who have two residences. Staying put means just that, staying put. Of course there are exceptions such as caring for a loved one.
See...conversation can be a good thing, haha.
Aha, i couldn't help taking a picture of it this evening. At my first(!) today's visit to Okey mall,- there were no shields; at my evening (2nd!) visit,- i saw this!
I don't think it helps a lot, but maybe, dozens thousands of customers won't be exhaling their saliva drops directly on poor cashiers, who might infect customers in the future... So, i think, these shields are obligate in big supermarkets, especially during quarantine, because despite that the mall's building and all other shops will be closed,- the grocer itself will continue working, and people will continue panic-buying and "stockpiling". LOL, i never knew this word before (stockpiling), but after hearing it multiple times, every single day on NZ radio, i had to look it up, and now i'm enlightened, haha. I'm actually stockpiling too! (Oh, maybe a little bit).
My sister was saying the same thing about people who are traveling to New Hampshire to go hiking in the White Mountains. If you end up needing a rescue, that takes emergency people away from those who might need it for hospital trips because of the pandemic. It's unnecessary.
