        * Every cashier in a mask and latex gloves. * Plastic barriers between cashier stations and checkout lines. * Signs on floor marking out ~2 meters of personal space. * Hygiene officer disinfecting baskets/etc literally constantly, morning to night. * 90%+ masks on shoppers.

        To the extent the coronavirus response relies on institutions and authority, oh boy. To the extent it is a distributed challenge of bringing one's A game to diligence and logistics, this grocery store has a whole lot of diligence and logistics expertise and more on backorder.

        I will note, not for the first time, that this is not entirely distinct from the annoying & hairsplitting discourse regarding whether formal authorities have said particular magic words, because the grocery store didn't institutionally achieve conviction prior to the magic words.

        Interestingly a lot of these measures are viral (in a good way). There isn't a central czar of grocery store layouts distributing plans for plastic barriers. Someone either went to another store or saw a photo and said "Oh, that's clever", then field expedience'd up 30 of them.

        Not in the 3 large London shops that I regularly visit (Waitrose, Tesco, M&S).. 10% of shoppers have masks.. most staff doesn’t have anything.. no staff doing desinfection.

        (anecdata) I've walked Meguro--Shirokane-Juban-Kamiyacho several times over the past 10 days while avoiding public transport, and it's gone from "largely BaU" to "most bars/restaurants not open, streets pretty empty, stores closed and those that are open are empty.

        Here in Chiang Mai, many places have taken the same measures, with the addition of requiring face masks, taking temperatures at the door, and requiring using the hand sanitizer station to enter the store…. Then there are other places doing absolutely nothing.

        This is exactly how it looks in my small town in Canada. We’re taking it seriously, also riding bikes and paddle boarding in the sun all weekend: those things are not mutually exclusive.
