When it really happens: SHTF...

Are people in Supermarkets behind makeshift screens now and wearing masks?

I'm in Philly, some convivence and drug stores have glass screens on the counter but no mandatory masks wearing The Supermarkets are either limiting the number of people which is causing lines outside or one must walk down every isle. The store is sectioned off like a cattle chute. Better get what you need on the 1st pass no going back to an isle you've been in. The idea is to keep the meandering down, get what you need and get out.
No feeling of doom and gloom. Everyone's just taking precautions.

I went to Walmart today to check out the sale price Easter candy and get some Rem Oil, and eggs. Not sure which of the three was most important. No lines outside, no one way markers inside. They are counting as you go in and out but are allowed 1200 in the store at any given time and probably only 200-300 in there at any given moment. They did have plastic barriers up at the check outs but I again went through the self check out.

This is more like here. Quiet and not crowded. We have to pick up a number for getting in. They call a new number each time one customer leaves.

Jeff,
Thanks for that.

From today, we're not completely locked in at home anymore. We can go out and stay close to home (how close???) for some physical activity. Provided we wear a mask.
Better than a kick in the butt... Welcome news, but for the fact that the mask really annoys me due to the glasses I wear. They fog-up completely.
Nevertheless, a first, if ever so tiny, softening of the precautions.
I have seen the light (cit. The Blues Brothers).

Ovidio,
Seems to be the norm at the moment. We in the UK are in lockdown till probably early May which is no great shakes, except the economy and those needing pay. My lad is in the RAMC in Kenya and been there for two years, he has a lot of experience in Ebola having been in Sierra Leone helping out for 6 months last year.
We were chatting last night, facemasks are compulsory in Kenya, if not arrested, also they have a 7pm Curfew which both together seems to be working. I personally think UV has a massive part to play in any virus plus lots of Vitamin C.
His wife and kids were flown out by the RAF on Sunday, so lets hope things don't get worse for Africa generally because water is gold dust and washing of hands isn't top of the list sadly, drinking the water is!
Our numbers seemed to stabilise (touch wood) over the bank holiday Easter weekend, but, to its credit and to the whole country, it was really hot in most southern counties around London and Cornwall. The 2 metre distance rule also works.
Just going for my daily 5 miler in sunshine..........no pack, no rifle just clean fatique!! Stay Safe mate

You too, Gil!

It sounds Nuts but rub on some shaving cream and polish until clear "the foam kind" and your glasses won't fog.

I thought Ovidio having a 2 wheeler would have some anti-fog in the closet!

I have it installed on the helmet screen...
