Yesterday I saw a group of young girls sunbathing together on a dock because the beaches are closed. In the next county over from us they closed all of the public parks and nature preserves because too many people were congregating there.
They closed the public parks in Georgia as well. People still walk the trails, but the parking lots are chained shut.

A lot of stores are doing curbside pick up service. I got a load of cat food at the local Petsmart and pick up some groceries at the local Publix that way. It's pretty easy, just order online, they let you know when it's ready, then you let them know when you are there. They load the groceries in your car and you never have to get out of the car.

I watched people going into the Publix while waiting for my groceries. Some people wear masks, some gloves. I have latex gloves that I bought a couple of years ago that didn't work out for the purpose I bought them for. They are pretty handy to have now if I actually need to go into a store.
