state: New York. I live in NYC so self explanatory yeah that’s it

I live in Brooklyn and Im actually coming off an injury so Im doing a lot of biking and Prospect park and Williamsburg i noticed has too many people. I did go into Manhattan tho for the first time in weeks this past Saturday and most of what I saw was a complete ghost town especially around SoHo and it was around 6 pm. I was able to ride in the middle of the street a lot and it was so weird seeing only 2/3 ppl on the middle of Broadway. A lot of people walking wore masks but a majority of people exercising did not but I did notice some large groups on the west side highway. I did hear the people cheering for the hospital workers at around 6:30-7 which was nice to hear.

Sf here. Like many others have said and is common everywhere, everything is closed. Streets are empty. However, parks and grocery stores are packed. So I guess we're allowed to congregate and catch covid at the parks and grocery stores, but not at restaurants or work. Hospitals are also not busy. Can easily walk into an icu or ed and get treatment asap.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All the major cities are now on 24-hour curfew. Travel only permitted from 6:00-3:00 PM in your immediate area, to food stores and shops, and pharmacies. Police checkpoints are every few miles. Streets are empty, as fines can be as much as $2700.

Arkansas here. Overall there is excellent voluntary (not yet mandatory) compliance, everything’s closed, no large groups are seen.

Our case load is growing slowly, we don’t test much, guessing continued growth?

Please explain. CT has 30,000 deaths per year. That is about 10,000 to this point of which 200 are Covid 19. That is only a 2% increase.

Right now the covid cases are concentrated in southwestern CT. The sudden increase in people dying is no joke. The local hospital has room for ~15 bodies in the morgue. There was one day last week when seven people at the hospital died (this is in a “city” with a population of 85k).

That 2% increase is localized to pretty much one county, and the majority of those deaths came in the last two weeks. That’s a dramatic increase.

I live in Eastern Chester County Pennsylvania.

On a paved trail I run a lot on, I have noticed a slight increase in traffic on the trail during the time I run (starting around dawn), although I drove past the trail on Sunday afternoon and it looked a lot more crowded.

One strange thing I have noticed is a lot of filled dog poop bags discarded along the side of the trail. (The county that maintains the trail has bag dispensers placed along the trail at certain points.) It seems that dog owners that are new to using the trail can't figure out that you are supposed to carry them with you and then discard in a trash can.

I'm calling BS. If you have spent any time in the Bay Area, you would not be calling yourself a "friscan" or using any derivation of "frisco" to refer to the city of San Francisco.

Fort Jackson, SC.

State is under a stay at home order. The city of Columbia has been under one for quite some time, also has had a curfew.

In a week Fort Jackson went from 1 case to 25 cases before DOD stopped bases from reporting cases publicly.

Basic Training continues, although with major precautions: face masks or cloth masks, 6 feet separation at all times, limited training company size (from 200 in company down to 50). Trainees are screened multiple times from MEPs to reception to their training unit. If anyone is showing symptoms they get isolated off post, tested, then if the results come back positive everyone they've been in contact with going back 2 weeks is also tested.

You thought Minnesotans at their cabins was a problem- now you’re pigeonholed into voting in person today or getting an absentee ballot postmarked. A sh@t storm is headed your way, bro.

I live in New Orleans. I run twice a day. My main run happens around 4:30am so I never see anyone outside. When I go do my 2nd run,this happens in the afternoon at a park usually. They have so many more people out there then ever before.

I know our city is a clusterfuck with people infected, but I see groups of people walking side by side and cycling together. A good chunk of the people who are on ventilators here have some pre-existing condition like diabetes,hypertension,obesity,etc.

The track at city park that's open to the public has like a 100 people using it simultaneously. We have a beautiful lakefront here that they close to cars during the weekends now due to so many people going out there. You can still run/bike on those roads though during the weekend.

It's crazy because people hardly ever did anything outside unless it involves drinking around here. But now it's just massive amounts of people picnicking,walking,whatever. It's funny that it takes a virus to get their lazy asses out the house,but people have no common sense. They don't get out the way,they think they are the only ones on the entire pathway.

Of course we have this lockdown,but it is ok to exercise and go to the store. Gas is pretty cheap,it hit 87 cents around here which is pretty awesome.

Rural NW Illinois; bike paths are crowded, walmart is no longer bought out, stay at home orders but only three confirmed cases in my county.
