WA reopened outdoor spaces for the first time this week (to be fair, that also coincided with hot weather). The situation at the trailheads was insane. There were cars lined up along the road half a mile from the parking lot in places (someone posted a video on FB suggesting people don't go). We went climbing and the giant pullout by a climbing/hiking area that isn't even an official trailhead and has no facilities had at least twice as many cars as I've ever seen there, maybe more. Most were hikers and there definitely was no social distancing happening (the climbing areas were busy but there were few enough people to technically be 6ft apart, as is usually the case in this area).
Oh, and 2 out of my ~10 teammates at a major tech company took Friday off, one for a "long weekend" roadtrip, one for unspecified reasons... I also doubt that's a coincidence.
I can't wait to see what happens when restaurants reopen. I'm definitely heading to a bar asap.
