Shrug, it looks like people just ignored it here from what I am hearing, very few actually stayed at home. I thought my roomates were an exception but I guess they were the rule.

A few high risk people like me actually followed the order and stayed home. Considering only 26 people in the whole county died and 1000 got the virus so far, I guess I was an idiot and should have just lived life as normal like everyone else.

Sure wouldn't have been smart in other places, even in washington, but Pierce county, like Germany, seemed to ignore all precautions and yet had less cases and FAR less deaths than anywhere else.

You all saying "But you went out too, they are just doing what you did...blah blah blah"

I barely went out for 2 months (3 or 4 times total). I never got within 6 feet of another person if I could avoid it, and I wore a mask (or full face covering) every time. I didn't order food delivered even.

Meanwhile, yes, more people have to go to fewer places, so you would expect grocery stores etc to be crowded. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, it's normal out there, actualy a bit more crowded. People are everywhere (ii's very nice weather), all along the streets on pacific, at all the bus stops, just stopping and chatting at intersections. There was no precautions being taken at all, no masks, nothing. I was here last summer, and it was not this crowded everywhere.

Alot of people are not working, and so they are out and about instead. They are not carefully going out to shop for groceries, they are just out enjoying the day. Most of the restraunts are open as well, you can't dine in, but they have lines for people ordering food and they are eating out front of the resteraunt lol.

So whatever, it's not like this everywhere I'm sure, but here there have been very few people who have gotten sick and extremely few deaths. Pierce county has just under 1 million residents, we have had 26 deaths and 1000 reported cases of the virus. People don't consider that worth changing their lives over I guess.
