(128,385 posts)-Had to get my car inspected + emission tests, oil changed, filters changed, recall issue serviced - all done at the car dealership where I bought the car (Montco)
-Had to mail a bill (went to post office) (Philly)
-Had to pick up a prescription at my nearby pharmacy (Philly)
-Had to pick up a couple things at the supermarket that were not available the last time I went there last week (Philly)
For the most part, people were masked and gloved up (where at the car dealership, a bunch of service techs were pulling out the boxes of gloves and masks, although despite other cleaning staff complying, one of the "young" cleaners had to be reminded to get his mask on as he pooh-poohed the whole thing, and there were a couple other customers in their nice waiting area with masks). There was even a landscape service mowing the grass strips alongside the dealership and those guys had masks on (and should normally use them anyway with what they do operating mowers and weed-wackers).
The only clueless ones were yet again, a few of the same tuned-out millennials, but fortunately fewer of them this time were in la la land, than what I saw last week.
I don't have an issue with being "maskless" outside and not grouped together (say if I go outside to put the trash out), but in places with close quarters, they need to get with the program
The hope is that some of the next stimulus WILL give some money to the states and counties so they can make up the shortfalls. And here in Philly metro - although there is some capacity still available, it is uneven and they started moving people into the Liacouras Center as the primary overflow COVID-19 facility - https://temple-news.com/liacouras-center-accepts-first-patient/
