So: Dawn and I consolidated a prescription pickup and grocery pickup into a single trip out this evening, with both delivered to our car by store employees. It was the first time out of the house for either of us in several days, and neither of us got out of the car after we left the garage.
We’re good, conscientious citizens, right?
Sure … but so what? We watched people stream in and out the store’s front doors almost like any regular evening. You sure wouldn’t watch the front door and ask yourself, Where’d everybody go? Has something happened? Quick! Turn on the news!
This pandemic is going to be with us for a long time, because an awful lot of us aren’t going to take this seriously till the Grim Reaper is standing at the front door.
