Who's in a lockdown area? How are the residents handling it? - justarandumbguy - Apr 6, 2020
Personally I live somewhere in Florida. People down here don't seem to concerned about it. Still the same amount of traffic people still in stores. I see a lot more people wearing mask and diapers over their face in an attempt to make a mask. My family in a different state though can't have more than like 50 people in the grocery store. Down where I am stores are still packed with lines.
I'm trying my best to just stay around my house but I like so see all the crazies still out and about. How are the residents around you handling this?

I’d move out of that shithole state. It’s all going to be underwater soon so better get out now.

I love Florida! It's the best state. So warm. So nice.

I'm in New England, and all of the states up here have similar policies in place. Restaurants are closed to dine-in, take out or delivery only. Close-contact businesses like barbers, spas, etc. are closed entirely. And most of the stores are implementing max-capacities to limit the people in the store, and putting markings on the ground at the cash registers that show 6ft of distancing.
Aside from that it's kind of business as usual. I haven't seen any diapers on faces, haha. Masks, both real and utterly ineffective cloth alike, are pretty common. And people wearing the same pair of gloves everywhere they go- which is frustrating. But to each their own.

Am in a lockdown area, a bit out of the city though. Everyone here is handling it pretty well and doing work outside around the house now that we have such beautiful days

Florida here also...
Everyone is just chillin like usual, makes you realize how much of a paradise Florida really is when things like this happen.
Everyone is always dirty and sick with something anyways, so it's nothing new.
A couple of years in Florida changes a man. The weather and environment really kicks your ass here on a daily basis!

Yeah, I am personally only going to and from work really. The people keep calling work and like begging us to come in the store and when we tell them no they get very upset.
It’s wild to watch people sneak around just to hang with friends. Local PD has to chase 30 teenagers away from one of the schools in the area because they were just out playing basketball.

Most people where I’m at are taking it serious. $1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail for breaking it so they should be lol.
Still a surprising amount of cars on the road though. Not sure what they’re all doing considering everything is closed.

We currently have stay at home orders, not a full lockdown. That said, nobody is staying at home like they should. Well, some are obviously, but not nearly as many as should be.

Been hearing about NY basically every day here in Australia. Sounds pretty horrifying there right now.
