Just came back from US...
Organized all the visits (5 of them) in one short trip to minimize any contact and drove back cannonball style except a quick shopping stop in Portland/Lynnwood and picking up my packages in Blaine.
US is so similar, yet so different post pandemic.
There were clearly less people on the street and shops and being on the West Coast, everyone are quite aware of using masks as well as keeping social distance... I'd go as far as saying more so than what we do here in BC. But I was still the rare outsider as I was fully equipped with face mask, face shield, disposable gloves and hand sanitizer/wipes with me at any given time.
All restaurants down... at least those that I was able to see (I was down for commercial RE) are all take out only or outdoor eating only. Absolutely no dine-in in all 3 states (CA, OR and WA) from what I could see.
I stayed at different Marriott... and room seemed clean smelling a bit alcohol-icky, which I assume are the solutions they are using to sanitize the room. But nothing overly so.
Anyway... started my self-isolation in our guest room... Hopefully the world outside doesn't change too much in 14days...
