Grocery stores see thousands of customers per day.

I don't know how they are managing in Louisiana, but here in Connecticut we have strict rules in the grocery stores. Obviously everyone has to wear a mask. All aisles have been set up and alternating one-way only to help mitigate traffic congestion. There are taped lines on the floor for the space required between those waiting to check out. There is also someone at the door counting those entering and leaving. If a certain threshold is reached, you have to wait outside for someone to leave before you can enter.

Didn't look like any of that was being done at the many marches in excess of 5,000.

I'm curious. - 08/06/2020 06:59:18 PM 1475 Views
I would expect so, yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 391 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 404 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 399 Views
Yes, I believe we will... - 08/06/2020 10:15:30 PM 782 Views
Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 838 Views
Because I care about my fellow human being, cockroach. Go infest somewhere else. I'm done with you. *NM* - 09/06/2020 08:35:42 PM 432 Views

Do you think it's possible to disagree, even vehemently - 16/06/2020 08:14:50 PM 798 Views
I'm sure it is, in some conditions. - 16/06/2020 09:43:50 PM 788 Views

Yes, you're right. - 16/06/2020 08:17:04 PM 711 Views

We're having a discussion...please try and not denigrate me. - 17/06/2020 05:26:36 PM 756 Views
But I didn't clearly state I want to denigrate you. You're inferring intent. How's that ok? - 17/06/2020 06:06:28 PM 746 Views
Pain and Death they *actively* choose... - 17/06/2020 06:39:13 PM 774 Views
