I feel like a chump

[Anonymous]

We’ve been following SAH orders pretty much to the tee. No socializing, 1 person getting the groceries as infrequently as possible, contactless delivery, not visiting grandparents, etc. We’ve been on walks and I had to go to the doctor but other than that, not out just doing stuff. Today we just went for a drive and all up rt 15 are open ANTIQUE stores... tiny little stores filled with people in them. I saw a mass of teens congregating at a small dirt beach at the creek on my walk , a herd of tweens biking ... people are really just out here doing whatever. You would NEVER know there was such a thing as stay at home in place. I feel like a freaking idiot, we’ve done everything right for 8 weeks and it seems like half of northern Virginia is just life as usual. Wtf!

Don't ever feel like a chump for being smart.

I agree, a lot more people are ignoring the warnings

“Feel like a chump?”
So you feel stupid for believing something that you now know wasn’t true or you feel taken advantage of? Really?

Kind of the same here. We are very careful to keep our distance and stay home, already had some family die of COVID19.

We would love to go for walks in our neighborhood, but we live near a bunch of pet friendly apartment buildings and those millennials are out walking their dogs AT ALL HOURS. It’s just a non stop hoard of people with dogs, and they don’t wear masks and don’t keep six feet away. We are family of four, and its exhausting to keep the kids corralled close and away from the SD disregarding DINKS with dogs.

This makes me HATE beautiful Saturday’s like today (and the flyover didn’t help) b/c we thought of venturing out to a more suburban location, but we were pretty sure every street and office parking lot would have a throng of people (we have a yard less condo townhouse).

Wait, what wasn’t true? We still have a lot of cases of COVID19, and rising.

So you’re upset that other people are doing exactly what you intend to do?

They are places you can walk outdoors and still maintain 6 ft distance. I do it everyday. But no I can't go shopping at antique stores right now or go to the beach or to the mall or get my haircut and I'm probably going to have wait longer to do those things and it is what it is.

Intend to do when it is actually safe for everybody to do so. FTFY.

We are having a culdesac lawn chair happy today and we cannot wait!

Lock yourselves in your homes, it’s your choice.

No I feel like I’ve sacrificed to do something I stupidly thought everyone else was doing too! It was for nothing!

I mean this is why I feel like a chump. I really thought we were all banning together for the common good. Like there was solidarity in this. No. People like you drinking with your neighbors and letting your kids congregate in groups of 20 mean the rest of us were doing it for no good reason.
