But look at rt. 5 @0630 then again @1500 or so. Traffic is reduced but far from what you see when people show pics of NYC, Las Vegas and Pittsburgh.
I have no basis for comparison with New Braunfels, but the store traffic in Buc-ees is lighter than other Buc-ees we've been to. Which doesn't mean anything because maybe it's just not a very popular Buc-ees. Also traffic is going to be lighter because....where you gonna go? Everything is shut down.
No doubt many people are staying home, bathing in hand sanitizer. The media has freaked them out and the sheeple largely do as they're told. Which is fine - it's a free country, isolate if you want to.
My beef is SOLELY in having our iron fisted government declare martial law and confine us to our homes under penalty of jail time. In closing down businesses and destroying people's livelihoods, in hemorrhaging our tax dollars at special interests and political cronies....over this virus that affects statistically no one.
We should be outraged by this, and yet we are largely accepting.
We should be going, "Mother****er, you can't do that," and instead we are cowering before our masters and crying for them to help us.
This is how Socialist countries are born and freedom is destroyed. Just like this.
