I know there could be a "maybe" option, depending on what precautions are being taken, or how full the place is - but that varies per individual (and we don't know what the precautions are...). So, given pre-covid conditions, would you go out again (at least as often as you used to)?

I probably won't, but curious of opinions.

Tough call, but I'd say no at this point.

tower912 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:55:40 PM »

Probably. But, weather permitting, I am going to want to sit outside.

wadesworld · « **Reply #3 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:59:40 PM »

I will go to the local places that I like. Tandem will be my first stop. The stuff they are doing for those in need in Milwaukee is inspiring.

I will also go to get a haircut as soon as those can open and I will go play basketball with my usual group of friends on Mondays and Wednesday’s.

Other than that I’ll continue to get outside as much as I can and will probably be back in the office full time.

Yes. I'm missing my bar

If one can afford it, paying your local barber 2-3x the normal bill would be a good way to start.

Yes. I'd prefer if restaurants open to 50% capacity so you're not jammed next to other people. I also may be more likely to choose bars/restaurants with outdoor seating.

I won't go as much as normal, though.

Yes and no.

Everything you do in life comes with a risk. Driving you car on a freeway, taking a flight, swimming in the ocean.

Until you have anti-bodies or are vaccinated, your COVID risk is north of zero if you leave your house.

Would I go to a packed restaurant in a city that has a ton of current cases? Not a chance.

Would I go to a half filled restaurant in a suburb with few cases? To be honest, I don't think I'd do that in May. June, yeah.

I will go to my local favorites.

This is where I am at--however I live in an area that is more of a hot spot than WI. So it would be dependent on the conditions at that point.

Agreed. I was planning on doing something like that.

Not a chance. No testing - no go.

If we had universal testing, it would be an easy fix.

GooooMarquette · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2020, 03:55:31 PM »

No. I will continue to live under a personal stay at home order until we have widely available testing and contact tracing.

I have been doing my best to support local businesses by purchasing gift cards, and I will tip very generously when I do finally get out, but I am not at all interested in becoming one of the early “second wave” victims.

Did that preemptively, as I got one of the last haircuts before the shutdown. Paid 2.5x the norm.

I might go to one with good spacing, as long as they’ll allow me in with my new 24/7 attire - Nike Elite shorts, t-shirt and flip flops.

MU82 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2020, 04:45:08 PM »

My family is just my wife and I, and I'm pretty sure we would go out to select places. Might be different if we have kids other than our grown ones, but we don't, so it's silly to speculate on that.

I would say we definitely would go to our favorite beverage establishments and sit outside. And probably would go to some of our restaurants depending on the situation.

Hards Alumni · « **Reply #16 on:** April 13, 2020, 04:52:43 PM »

No, but I desperately want to.

I will. Gotta build up the herd immunity, aina?.

In Wisconsin, we don’t have the option of sitting outside until June

... or July.

Honestly, I'd advise against takeout. Won't be doing restaurants at all for awhile.

GB Warrior · « **Reply #20 on:** April 14, 2020, 12:05:35 AM »

No. We've been supporting the local establishments we trust and frequent during this, and that will continue. But we'll be taking out and enjoying the outdoors in our yard.

Completely agree with the stylist... Going to pay mine to reshape the beard I've been doing my best to undergo what can best be deemed as controlled chaos.

In regards to takeout, why?

Keithtisbarf · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2020, 12:08:20 AM »

I wouldn’t feel comfortable until June. I order delivery 2-3 times per week now to help support local small businesses.

I've got a beard right now for the first time in my life. I just decided, "what the heck." Not a big fan. My wife actually likes it...or likes the way it looks, anyway.

You’re just rooting for full on economic collapse at this point aren’t you? My god just an incessant rain cloud on everything COVID. Another 3-4 months of lockdown, don’t order takeout. Goodness gracious.
