Most of my apartments (including the ones where I lived in Madrid, NY, and Barcelona) were all Ikea, I traded cities but my furniture has stayed the same  :D

It seemed pretty ubiquitous in Barcelona.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The supermarket today was completely the opposite of IKEA. The only indication of corona was checkouts working from a singular queue down the ale aisle.
So many people without masks despite them being mandatory from yesterday.

I did my weekly shop at Morrisons today and found the opposite.  All of the shoppers I saw were masked, and about 90% of the employees.
The only exceptions were at the checkouts when behind their plastic barriers...all of those roaming about the store were masked.

Bought some pizza ingredients at Lidl today; pretty busy, but all the customers were wearing masks apart from one standout.

A whole generation of young people in big cities all over the globe has furnished their appartments through Ikea, so it's become a bit of a universal style. Not to mention almost every single AirBnb in the world.

I've had my hair short and cool for the whole pandemic.  :cool:

I haven't been out much, but the few times I've been to stores or shopping centers, mask usage has been nearly 100%. All stores require masks as well.

Ever since I started using the bbq for cooking homemade pizza, that is the only pizza for me now.

Dunno, he's always given off a puerile horniness IMHO.
Yea, but good luck finding puerile these days.

We have those mandatory registrations at restaurants meant to track people in case of outbreaks. Police now used these to track people for completely unrelated issues in multiple cases. The consequence is that people now give wrong names and contact data. Destroying the trust of people in data security means it will be harder to fight this virus...
