Another thing that I find funny is how haphazardly the social distancing rules are enforced. At Costco when entering the store, they have you get into an external makeshift line and stand 6 feet away from the next person while waiting for your turn to enter the store. BUT, once you enter the store, there's literally not a single person enforcing anything, and so everyone is just mashed together walking around as if nothing changed...
Went to the Costco in South SF today and there were employees with megaphones reminding folks to maintain social distance near the produce, meat and deli sections.
Waiting in line means extended contact. Brushing past in an aisle is 'momentary proximity' and while not ideal, represents a lower risk. Also, one is easier to enforce than the other. So there you have it.
