California issued shelter in-place orders on Tue Mar 17, 2020. I have been logging the highlights and lowlights. Almost no COVID-19 coverage whether case numbers increased, decreased, or held steady. Post-election coverage was too much. There were more activity outdoors witnessing almost no concern of people getting COVID-19. These activities were more prevalent than the COVID-19 news articles I read.
Fri Nov 1. Shopped at Costco at the 11am hour. There was a Nissan pickup truck the driver locked his keys inside. A tow trucker driver assisted.
Costco was busy inside. There were lots of children. I retrieved a receipt dropped from a customer's pocket after I paid my groceries.
