Southern California beaches right now. They should be posting someone dressed as the grim reaper near the entrances of these beaches. Are people this disconnected from reality?

The picture kind of answers that question itself.
One thing humans are really bad at doing is assessing risk from things that are not seen. They cannot see covid-19. Recognizing the risk of covid-19 takes a trust and understanding of the statistics. Changing behavior for the disease requires a certain amount of care of what happens to people you don't know.

The USA just hit 1 million confirmed cases and 56 000 deaths.
It looks like their death rate is finally starting to slow, but just as that has started happening a lot of places are re-opening.
It's going to be catastrophic if things get worse than they were.
I'm thankful the premier of Ontario just announced today that they have a plan for reopening but aren't close to a date yet to start implementing it. I saw the announcement and was afraid that he was going to announce a date.

It looks like the governors of New England and New York are coordinating and planning together in some semblance of recognition that they all impact each other - which may mean we don't start opening until all of us are ready, so we don't start making each other worse.

I don't think it's that but maybe part psychological.
There's cases from WW2 with people doing really crazy things in places like Berlin in the final days.
Pretend things are normal or to insane.
Here mist people aren't wearing masks. Probably more you can buy them, mist people can't make them and with everything shut you can't but the needed stuff anyway.
You're not getting scenes like ke that at the beach though. The boys in blue will break that up.
Day one of lockdown restrictions relaxing. McDonalds is open first time in almost 5 weeks. Only for drive through though ones still shut.
After the third week if lock down we started getting more complacent as well. The fear/anxiety goes away and you're not as strict when it comes to cleaning.
We were isolating the groceries for three days. Cupboards were full anyway.
Grocery isolation room. Also quarantine room if we got sick.
Probably a failure in planning there somewhere but there's also piles of supplies in the hallway as well.
More food disruptions. Gonna be people starving but lockdown. Lockdowns good but people somewhere else are gonna starve.
Coronavirus: Belgians urged to eat more chips by lockdown-hit potato growers
The chips are truly down for Belgium's potato growers, now lacking customers.

Do you have a lot of trouble with mist people down there? Sounds from your post like they are being difficult.

No most people are pretty good but the media likes reporting on the idiots.
The figures they used assumed a % of failure to comply. Late March our curve was doubling every two days, flattened then declined.
There's been a bit of bending of the rules. People stop and chat in the streets but two metres is observed. I can talk to the neighbors from my balcony for example.
Some people still go for walks in the beach but a lot of people live near them.
Early on the tourists were the big problem. Voluntary isolation failed so they removed to voluntary part and the tourist part.

So I've read that coronavirus can persist anywhere from hours to days on different surfaces, but one thing I haven't seen is how refrigeration or freezing affects that. If I buy, say, a packet of frozen chicken that's been surface contaminated and put it in the freezer, would it still be contaminated when I take it out a week later?
