Personally, I quickly visited the Home Depot yesterday and they are requiring facemasks. The store was not overcrowded. Nearly everyone that I saw in the store was wearing a facemask. They also have a efficient online order and drive up procedure at my local stores in Arizona.
With temperatures over the last week near/above 110° F, it naturally leads to people staying more inside (it is our "winter" months). That - along with being headline news - should help to flatten the curve if people remain responsible.
