Last week seemed like a ghost town in BR but the last two days, the number of cars on the road has increased considerably. Are people going back to work or just getting out of the house?

First time there has been noticable traffic in about 2 weeks.

I thought the same. On my commute 12 has been sparse since the start of lockdown. Today not so much.

I drove passed a park in the Garden District and there must have been 200 people outside playing in the park.

I noticed the last two days in Baton Rouge and New Orleans a lot more cars out and about. People are tired of being locked up in the house. They said freak it they had enough.

People are probably getting stir crazy. I pretty much just drive from my house to HEB and a few restaurants outside my neighborhood so haven't really noticed much different in Houston.

Probably double the amount of cars out the past two days as compared to the past week.

My wife had a dr appt today in Lafayette and noted how many cars were on the road. I think people are tired of being cooped up and not as worried about the virus.

I cross the bridge to Port Allen for work every day and I’ve noticed more cars than the day before for about a week now. It’s still awesome not sitting in bridge traffic though

Yeah, most people have off Friday so the holidays have started. Wonder how many families will have their regular get together. Told my in-laws we would be staying home to protect them.
