If someone announces on a social media site that Walmart or some other store has toilet paper, milk or bread, hundreds of people rush to the store at the same time and fight over the items. An out of control shopping crowd HAS MORE close contact than a group paddling down a river. If they are serious about this "isolation" we need quantity stamps for necessary items again ( according to household size) to stop this hoarding madness . None of this makes sense.

However, I think the ban on camping is to detour people from travelling out if town. Maybe they are doing this so locals can enjoy the outdoors without attracting out of state visitors, who are not already here. Mic…I agree.

One is to keep up outdoor activities that do not gather groups and the FWC says stay away. Hunting can be the ultimate social distancing event. Maybe they are not aware but most people camp with the same people they live with and do not socialize with other campers. The thing that confuses me the most is keeping the State parks open for day use but closed for camping. Day use is when people get together with people not in there home. Camping is when most people don't even do more than say "Hi" from a distance under normal conditions and is almost always the same people they live with. I am confused by the conflicting messages.
