How locked down are you?

Around here police are issuing fines to those out on the street without a reason
(given warning first)
Valid reasons are:
doing a key job
getting exercise - without using a vehicle to travel to exercise.
going to shop for vital supplies , ie food etc

People seem to be driving to local nature spots to hang around , and are being villified by local social media for it . The was a case the other day of farmers in the countryside blocking the road and harrassing some dick in a range rover who was 100s of miles from home and seemed to be going camping

Same here in 'Sunny' Bournemouth.

I'm on day 12 of lockdown.
I only go out for a 2 mile run every morning (I might see 2 or 3 other people, whilst running and they're all far away from me).
The Missus goes out once a week for perishables.

I am staying in as much as possible and have been getting groceries online, but I did go to the store Monday morning, around 7:30am during the time reserved for seniors. I have been trying to take a drive in my car for about 30 minutes just to see what is going on. I don't get out so no interactions with other people.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day and I am meeting 2 friends outside at one of our malls just to take a walk together - we will observe proper distancing. I need some exercise!

I've been working from home for nearly 2 weeks now, I really miss my coworkers but we keep in touch via text and Zoom

I don't pay any attention to the news so I'm not terribly anxious about any of this but the neighborhood men are all a bit antsy...no handshakes, etc...

The other day I bumped into Mr. Next Door while doing yard work and invited him into my garage for a beer
He took the beer but wouldn't sit in my garage
What did he think, I have a Gimp in there?!?

The guys at the Gas station and Liquor store put on gloves before accepting my transactions...I feel like Rodney Dangerfield, 'Boy I tell 'ya, I get No Respect!'

Anyway, I can't wait to get back to people and schmoozing with everyone!

Best wishes to all👍

I want to see my grandson but can't - personally I would take the risk, but if I get infected then I will pass it on to my husband, so can't do that.

I’ve been working but staying 6’ from people at all times and my work day is outdoors. My family has been at home for about 2 weeks. It feels like about that same time since I’ve been to a store and I’m stocked up for months but would run out of stuff like milk and other things that aren’t quite a necessity.
