Or, there are scads of online sign companies that print your own text.
I ordered custom made “thank you Police” yard signs last year even though that sentiment is, any more, practically considered a micro aggression in my neighborhood.

I doubt you need signs telling people to stay away.
I think everyone knows that by now.
Wait until people start getting desperate.... as time goes by.
We're already having nighttime prowlers around here :-(
I want to thank you guys for your input. I had the talk with my sister, and she received it very well; the last thing in the world she wants to do is make us sick or kill us, after all. I think she has been kind of mentally downplaying the epidemic as a self-defense mechanism since she does have to go to work every day.
I tried to emphasize what we could do - see each other outside when the weather is good with appropriate distancing, talk on the phone more often, text, use FB, etc.
Any other suggestions of how to make her feel supported and loved and not so alone?
Tammy, you must have co-workers who live alone. Do you have any thoughts on this? I feel like those of us sheltering in place with our nearest and dearest have a much better deal here than those living alone. If I was working 12-hour shifts at a hospital during a pandemic, I would really want a hug at the end of the day. I feel terrible that there is nobody to give my sister a hug.
Rosa, in general I think it’s better not to be alone but today my DH is making me irritated). FaceTime sounds like a good idea. My son was out of sugar so I took him some of mine. We stood 8 feet apart and talked to each other outside. It was so good to see them.
Yes, frugal-one, we are in our 60's and it has occurred to us that with food shortages, we may be murdered any day now. Or just beaten up and left to die? Since people seem to be turning on each other.
What is a stupid sign going to do to protect us?
Well, if you place the sign at a known distance from your firing position, you can use it as a range marker.
I'm sorry you are in such a dark place right now, Tybee. Sending you virtual hugs and good wishes, with a funny Boston accent, from the east coast.
