Coronavirus (non political)

Well my local Lowes is still packing the store every weekend. Drove by yesterday and it was even more packed then prior weekends. I guess with Home Depot limiting the number of people in their stores people are just going to Lowes. The entire parking lot was full yesterday. If you remember I mentioned this several weekends back and its even worse now.

ha...so funny cause I was complaining about the same thing Saturday morning cause I couldn't get in the parking lot. Spring man, people getting outside while quarantined is just gonna happen. I went back Saturday evening and got 10 bags of mulch. Actually need to go back, broke out the weed eater and spun it for 30 seconds before my spool ran out...like wtf.

I would just change the head to one that takes those thick plastic blades, screw that damn weed wacker line.

U know I’m a traditionalist when I wack...I just like the sound of the string

I live on 10 wooded acres with probably one acre of that cleared around the house of underbrush and the trees thinned out. I never liked messing with weed wacker line and I use the thing on stuff thicker than typical weeds.

If someone hasn't listed a location, please let us know where you are it. It does seem different areas are reacting differently.

I'm in Chesapeake Va. My sister in Va Beach said she saw the same thing in Va Beach. Chico23231, also said he saw the same thing. Last week I did a package pick up so I didn't have to go into the store. I looked in and people were packed in at the return desk and customer service desk. I told the girl who brought me my item to take care of herself because it doesn't look like Lowes gives a crap about them. She told me she would quit if she could.

One day I some how got my leg and the sound of the string didn't sound so great. String popped me about 8 times before I could react. Lets just say it hurt.

I haven't been in a Lowe's or Home Depot since this madness started, I have had issues with both of them ordering items that were online only. I will stay away from both of them as long as I can. Fortunately for me I have a small machine shop I work from on my property so I can fix stuff that most people have to throw out and replace. There also is a mom & pop hardware store 10 miles from me, don't mind paying more there for the convenience of not driving 60 miles round trip and killing 2 hours going to Lowe's or Home Depot. Of course they don't carry all the items the big boys do.

I haven't been doing anything besides a couple stops at stores. Got bulk supplies to last for 2 weeks. Goal is to not leave the house except for work Thursday and Friday each week. Got a lot of books to read along with Firestick and Netflix. I should have got myself a volleyball (Wilson) cause I'm gonna basically have zero human contact until at least the weekend following this one.

You are doing the right thing. The way I try to explain this to coworkers and fam/friends...if you are lucky enough to work from home then return that karma by playing by the rules, limit contact/trips to the store...social distance etc.

Everyone has to be patient...and I think a lot of folks have started to get into the routine of hunkering down, so if we can make it another month doing the right thing...imo by June 15 we should be over most of this.

June 15th is way too soon, IMO. The country is probably going to stay shut down for at least several more months. I do think though by late fall but before Christmas, you will see things start to ease some. Restaurants may be allowed to do dine-in again, but it might be only at 25% capacity. Like Fauci said, until there is a vaccine, things will probably not be "normal" ever again until they get the vaccine out.
