Is social distancing being adhered to in your area?

[shoppingbag*]

I just got back from shopping for groceries. As usual the hungry hoards are out after a long weekend. Social distancing is a joke! Supermarket staff are the worst offenders, wearing their vests with social distancing rules printed on the back, which I guess they can't see. Staff in one well known supermarket in your way at every turn, chatting up close to each other, in groups of three at times, and think nothing of getting right up alongside customers who are trying to avoid them. The opposition supermarket much better, but customers here are the problem, the old and silly ones and the young (who cares) types.  In the bank, the bank staff walking around and once again social distancing doesn't seem to apply to them, just to the customers. In my neighbourhood, I have seen parties going on, visitors coming and going, few, if any were sticking to the rules. Now that things have been relaxed, and what with the Burleigh Hill debacle (and all the other things we haven't heard about) I do fear there will be a big spike in cases soon. People appear to be complacent because numbers of infections are low, and fail to remember, that this all started with just ONE person, and can get out of hand so very quickly. We are following strict guidelines here in my family, I just wonder how many others are doing the same, and if we are simply fighting a losing battle. I observed people coughing who were out and about today, and I hope the one who coughed in my direction at the bank has not infected me, only time will tell. I can only say that I am totally disgusted with what I have seen since this all began. How are things going in your neighbourhood?

Absolutely fine here in small town Central West NSW.

Nothing here like what you have described.

No problems here either, also a small town in NSW, but inland lower Mid-North Coast.

Like the others I'm in a small rural town in SW WA and nearly all folks here are practising the social distancing - and that's even though we've only had one confirmed case here (or maybe because of that...........)

I think it's closer to home, Padi - it's Coles if you look closely.

Oh dear, 4 years and I've already forgotten what the inside of a Coles looks like.

Where I live ( Major coastal / holiday town ) in S.A. its crazy busy. I suspect people cant travel O.S. or interstate so they are all coming to our town. Its actually much busier than normal and a lot of people not making any effort to social distance.

Its a complete contrast to the small rural towns near my remote farm in S.A.. Everyone in the small communities are being careful and conscientious. I guess the selfish idiots who come to our coastal town just don't give a flying fig about anyone else, whereas the people in small communities rely on and care for each other.

Me... I,m still out working every day, but sanitise my hands any time I go into shops etc.

In my small town, Canberra, everybody seems to be scrupulous in their social distancing.

I guess we are sheep.
