Saw zero surfaces being cleaned, zero PPE on employees while I was there.
Saw a handful of dog walkers and sporadic traffic on the 10-15 minute walk through one of the more densely populated neighborhoods in the city (though also one most affected by university closures).

I've been doing mostly ordering online. Instacart delivers from my local grocery, but they have a 3 or 4 day back log now and I'm pretty sure the online database isn't up to date. Just ordered a batch of catfood for curbside pickup from my local petsmart. Plus, I've been doing pick up at some of the local restaurants. One of them is using the time to do renovations and remodeling.
When the weather allows, I've been doing 3 mile walks. There is a fair amount of traffic. I walk past the local Chick-fil-a and it seems to do booming business.
It's one of the drive thru only places, so it's business as usual for them.
According to my neighbor, the local grocery store is business as usual and the shelves seem mostly stocked.
