As of today

The world out is abnormally sunny, pleasant and clean and it beckons me with open arms, telling me to step out and sample the fresh weather, cold and crisp and absolutely sunlit under a blue canopy sprawled with thread like white clouds and how bad can a walk be after all?

Sure there are volunteers and police vehicles with loudspeakers patrolling the streets urging people to stay indoors as much as possible but a walk surely isn't bad as long as you're masked and keeping distance from other people who have probably the same idea and so I ponder over this thought.
Maybe I could just walk around the compound despite the weird incident from this morning wherein a fellow masked compound dweller waited almost ten feet away from me as I emptied out the trash in their designated bins and another person about to take out the trash on my way back kept standing on the doorsteps of his house while I passed by, no doubt holding his breath because right now there is absolutely no trust and of course everyone is cautious about their safety, and so god forbid somebody sneezes or coughs.

Officially all offices and factories are opening starting tomorrow as the government has designated and in fact urges people to join their places of work, however I doubt any of it is going to happen.
Everyone I've spoken to over the phone has absolutely refused to step out and I will know more about tomorrow by the number of cars on the roads which as of now are almost zero.
