People keep their distance as they wait in line to buy fish from boat captain Nick Haworth, second from right, Friday, March 20, 2020, in San Diego. Haworth came home to California after weeks at sea to find a state all but shuttered due to coronavirus measures, and nowhere to sell their catch. A handful of tuna boats filled with tens of thousands of pounds of fish are now floating off San Diego's coast as they scramble to find customers. Haworth was selling on Friday to individuals for less than half what he would get from wholesalers. "This is a quarantine special," he joked. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
