They gave us 30 incenses for 1 coin ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve been down the shops 4 times in the last 8 days to get a few items we are almost out of.
On all 4 occasions I have not be able to get any of the following which also have limits on them:
Jars of pasta sauce
Packet pasta spaghetti
La Pasta Mac & Cheese
Toilet paper
Paper towel
How the limits on Toilet paper Works really baffles me.
The imposed limit is 2 packs.
What idiot set packs as the standard when it comes in packs of 4, 8, 20 and 36 for most common brands?
Saw 20 people lining up for toilet paper the other day and it was 36 packs that they bought out.
They were letting people have 2 as that was the limit, wtf. Packs that size should be 1 not 2.

we have a famous saying in the netherlands: every disadvantage has its benefits.
This goes for me when it comes to PoGo.I’ve been going out and hunting (by car) for hours each day and getting shinies left, right and center. Also, driving around for PoGo is easier with all the empty roads.
Last 2 days i got 4 shinies per day, got 13 over the weekend (including a 100% shiny Cobalion), and today (it’s not even 9 AM when i type this) i already got 2 on my way to work. So, every disadvantage has its benefits!
So this whole situation sucks, but at least there is something positive, and it’s the small things that matter now right?

If you are friends with me please open gift. I have 20 to give out but no one opened the one I already sent out.
I opened your gift and sent you one. We still aren’t lucky friends, but we’ll keep trying. Maybe in the future we’ll be able to trade.
Ferroseed kinda resembles coronavirus. Is it a coincidence that Niantic chose it to be a research breakthrough reward in March?

Got you but only 2 others in last batch. Still have 17 gifts I can’t give out yet.
Taking wife and kids out with dogs for a walk.
I my local Discord we try to keep Pokémon Go alive in this though time. But we strongly advise to follow the rules. Raiding is fine, but keep your distance. Don’t block safe passing of others. Keep your raidgroup smaller than 3 if possible. If not because there are not enough strong players, only raid in open spaces where there is enough space for everyone to keep your distance and let other pass safely. And last, don’t come as a group, don’t leave as a group, don’t hang around.
We are not in total lockdown and so it is within the government rules. In my opinion you have higher risk at the grocery store.

Our discord has said quite directly not to coordinate raids on it, while we are under ‘shelter in place’ orders.
Is everyone ok still?

Things are loosening up here in Denver, with a safer-at-home direction. Masks are still encouraged, but raids can be organized again as long as people practice common sense. Stores are opening back up again too. So far, so good, despite some renegade jerks.
I’m in the part of California that is opening up some stores and restaurants. The (PoGo) community has been out the last two weeks.
It’s had zero net effect in my small town. The 40 or so players here are adults or children of adult players, and we were already playing from our cars before COVID.
The only thing that’s had an effect is that some of the players are more likely to beg for remote raid invites now, rather than drive into town (which only has a population of 1250 and four stoplights), to save gas.

Sometimes I see people around playing, but I think half the players in Tokyo play somewhere more isolated than along the streets. I saw some were inside the Pokemon Go store, so it’s probably a safe assumption that they were playing there.
