I spent a lot of time at my local Hooters. I hope that when things open back up I have the patience to wait at least 2-3 weeks before I go there or any other restaurant. Because you're always going to get the bumrush crowd like ^^^ that are going in guns blazing.

As freaked out as I have been at times, and you have all unfortunately had to listen to my doom and gloom rants, for which i apologize for, there are moments of clarity where I acknowledge that essentially, the daily life of my wife and I remain essentially unchanged.
Both of us are homebodies, and the only place we both went to other than work, was the grocery store, or Lowes / walmart, etc... Even before the pandemic happened, we rarely went out to eat, and we didn't even go to the movies except a few times a year.
Through this whole thing, we have both been still going to work every day. Truth be told we only encountered a horrible line once at Walmart in Stephens City very early on, it might have been around the 3rd week of March.
Since then the Martins and that Walmart that we shop at has always had what we needed. I was lucky and had a decent supply of TP when this started, and for the last two weekends i have seen it on the shelves again in plentiful supply. Same with the canned foods, meat, etc. I understand that some cities are having intermittent meat shortages, but not here so far (knock on wood).
I am like you, i am very used to how we are living / have been living and i probably won't rush to go back out right away, i will let it die down over the next few weeks, with VA expected to go into "Phase 2", in the beginning of June. I think by then, things will look a lot more "normal".
