Those who live in shelter-in-place guidelines, and have ventured out to run, walk the dog, or get essential supplies, how would you describe your neighborhood? I came back from a walk, “eerily quiet”

In LA. A lot more cars out than I expected, lots of people walking/running solo or with their families, etc. Almost doesn’t feel any different than before. But I don’t live near tourist traps that I’m sure are deserted.

In NJ, lots of families out during the day. Riding bikes. At night I haven’t seen many ppl walking their dogs and it’s been quiet. I’ve been out to walk my dog at night and day. Tomorrow is NJ’s day 1 of stay in place.

Chicago has less traffic, but still so many people out running. It's 30 degrees out and everyone wants to go for a jog all of a sudden

Traffic is a lot less in Atlanta. Blue skies and 80 today so lots of people out everywhere and the largest park was slammed. Won’t be surprised if we are in lockdown soon because of an explosion of infections.

I’ve never seen so many people at piedmont as there were yesterday

How many cars would you say are out on the road?

My neighborhood - a fraction, like 5% of usual traffic.

Queens ny- quiet as usual

Chicago was very quiet when I took out the trash. I kind of like it

Normal in our neighborhood. Quiet out in town.

NYC / Manhattan very weird. Sometimes lots of people out, sometimes very quiet.

Nyc here. Walked by union square yesterday and was shocked by how many people were there for the farmers market

Chicago, north side - Lots of people out for runs and walks, but respecting social distancing. Way more people than would usually be out exercising in this cold. There are MUCH fewer cars on the roads, even Lake Shore Drive, but not completely deserted.

Home depot.....the new town square.

The power to quarantine has always been applied in individual situations. From what I read of the our history, the government has never quarantined the entire population.
