Our pharmacy has a drive through, and it's great. They have a drawer that they open that they put the meds in and they talk through a speaker so there's minimal contact. Plus we're at our out-of-pocket maximum, so I don't even need to give them my credit card to run.

HB 234, sponsored by Texas State Senator Nelson (R-Flower Mound), legalizing lemonade stands in Texas, was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott last week.
...
Specifically, HB 234 frees lemonade stands from government interference and allows children to operate stands on private property without a license. The new law comes in response to a 2015 incident where police shut down a lemonade stand run by two siblings trying to raise money for a Father’s Day present.

Thankfully, as far as I know, restaurants are take-out only. I don't think anywhere has open or even distanced seating. That won't stop tourists from infecting every corner store, gas station, and grocery store they pass through.Kraken wrote: Tue May 19, 2020 6:36 pmIf your restaurants and bars are open, I'd stay out of them until tourist season is over.

Su M T W Th F SCOLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) —
State leaders met again Tuesday as part of Gov. Henry McMaster’s task force focused on reopening the economy and made a big recommendation regarding the upcoming holiday weekend.
The accelerateSC meetings have been held in an effort to rejuvenate the state's economy after several businesses were forced to suspend operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the beginning of Tuesday's meeting, some state leaders suggested opening up attractions to the public starting this Memorial Day weekend, WIS-TV reported.
"We had a large crowd along the Grand Strand this weekend. Well if you stop and think about it -- swimming pools were closed this weekend, attractions were closed this weekend," Duane Parrish, the director of SC Parks, Recreation and Tourism, said.
"Opening up swimming pools yesterday. Opening up attractions this weekend would relieve some of that pressure of people being together in one place. We think it's really important from an attraction standpoint to have that -- not just in the Grand Strand -- statewide to have that. We have an industry born plan and a healthcare approved plan ready to go."
When the governor answered questions after the meeting, he said he believes that is a good recommendation.
A member of the task force from the S.C. Hospital association, Christian Soura, said DHEC reported 4,200 test results on Monday alone.
To put that in perspective, in March there were 5,700 results reported during the whole month.
Soura also reemphasized the state's goal to test 2 percent of the population this month. Leaders said there are more than 200 testing sites right now with more to come.
The director for the Department of Health and Environmental Control, Rick Toomey, also said they are working to keep recovery rates up-to-date.
"The first case was March 5th, that's a long time ago, but we still count that case as one of the cumulative cases, it's something we are working on and we should be looking at because a majority of people are recovering," he said.
I suppose I understand the idea: if you're going to open up some attractions/destinations, better to open up them all to reduce crowding at any one place (like we saw at Folly Beach this past weekend). The worry is that opening everything up will make people complacent and think that everything is back to normal. I went to a county park over the weekend that had just opened up; the park is big enough that you can walk the trails without coming very near anyone. But there's also a fishing pier at the park. I walked by that and it was packed. And, not surprisingly, I didn't see anyone wearing a mask... So maybe opening everything up will spread the crowds around, but I somehow doubt it. I'm not going to be surprised when we see a spike in cases two weeks from now.
So.YellowKing wrote: Wed May 20, 2020 8:30 am While I wouldn't be super comfortable with attractions re-opening either, SC is looking pretty good in terms of all the effective reproduction number and positive case trends I've seen. Much better than NC, which is plateauing dangerously on the line between "all good" and "oh shit."

Because they're just as bored as the rest of us, it's fun to watch them do mundane tasks with no makeup. Yesterday I watched an extremely charming session of Drew Barrymore preparing Taco Tuesday, and last night I watched Melissa Villasenor from SNL water her house plants and ask for gardening advice.
From an NC perspective, I have a little more faith because I work for a hospital. My organization has never given me any reason to believe they're not completely transparent and honest on everything, so if they say the numbers are good enough to start opening back up then I believe them. We have a lot of excellent physicians who are not afraid to speak their mind, and I assume at least some of them would be screaming if we were truly endangering our local community.Unagi wrote:So. You seem to have full faith in SC and NC’s desire to paint an accurate picture.
Would you say that’s well placed?
Gov. Cooper is giving an address at 5pm. It was expected to be an announcement of Phase II re-opening, but considering we had our highest daily increase it will be interesting to see what they decide. I do know they've been making much ado about testing increases being the reason for the higher case count, but I'm still skeptical.hitbyambulance" wrote:WA state still holding on at #18, but NC has zipped on past TN and is coming up fast - they'll surpass us in a few days
Different classification criteria and/or bad data probably.Daehawk wrote: Wed May 20, 2020 2:25 pm Im not sure why TN's stats seem better than other states around us. When you compare infections to deaths I mean. Looking at TN and WA we both have 18000 or so but TN has a little over 300 deaths while WA has a little over 1000.
