It just doesn't make sense why these stores are left fully open. If you send people home to stay the first thing people will do is take advantage of the time with home improvement.

Yeah I asked my dad out of curiosity and he said the Lowe's in this area was packed as well...he went there to pick up plants (also doesn't care about the distancing deal). He's doing tomatoes and trying another fig tree. Used to do more with the garden but doesn't do as much now.

Also found out about how the grocery store looks in passing (they're doing the big trip tomorrow, not today)...he said the early look was not good, it was pretty cleaned out (so as far as Augusta I think freak outs are still going on). So far he's been able to compensate for that, so I'll see what he comes up with this time. He did get tipped off on when one store gets their delivery of toilet paper (the Dollar General that's close), and was able to successfully pick up a package last week. He's going to go again early Thursday this week.

Either this is wrong or I’m looking at something wrong.

“On Sunday March 29th, the US registered 18,469 new daily Coronavirus cases, which was down from 19,452 on Saturday. This could very well mark the beginning of a "peak" in new Coronavirus cases in the United States.”

This website’s own source shows something entirely different. I think the author of the post quoted jumped the gun and counted total cases entirely too early.

shown here, the real case count from 3/29...which doesn’t show a decline at all.

You're not wrong. People either A. Don't want to admit we failed with this Virus or B. People would rather live in a false sense of reality. Trump has even become grimmer as of late. We need to quit burying our head in damn the sand and realize this is real. We ran out of options, folks. Reality has finally slapped us in our faces.

It's bad. We are gonna lose alot of people but we need to balance the sadness of this loss of people with the hope we recover quickly and rebound. We have to keep our head up and realize we are all in this together.
 
I feel like by now food lion would restock their foods at least. Nobody is rushing to buy food they are simply not restocking

If you have a Food Lion out in the boonies (not in the city limits), then go to that one instead. It's almost always more stocked.

It may have been the boonies they had plexi glass on all registers and a people greeter wearing a paintball mask scaring people
