Title: Despite stay-at-home orders, 6 out of 10 are on roads

Yet, I can't chalk it all up to Darwin.  Debbie says that maybe half of those are government or essential services.

It's tricky, you want to support local businesses so you go to the drive-up window, so technically your on the road.  Or going to the bank driveup.  Some people are going stir crazy so they go for a drive in the country.

>drive in the country

A couple times a week we load the kids up and just start driving. Decent way to get them out of the house for an hour and strap them into a seat so they can't harass each other too much.

We drive to get down below the snow where we can go for walks.

Yesterday, by the way, was a three-fer: pandemic, blizzard (18" in about 12 hours) and minor earthquake (very brief but loud - we thought something had hit the house).

That's like a more optimistic version of The Core.   ;D
