“We are more spread out. Even in our cities there is more “personal space” here in the US.”
I have an exception to the statement:
We have very homeless population living on top of each other in Waikiki, LA, San Fran, and Seattle.
The local governments need to move fast for those populations. Not sure how they would handle it.
Do we have any high populations on the East Coast?
Obviously from Boston to Miami, there are tons of homeless.
I was thinking more of the interior of the country.
I live about 90 miles from Boston. Each house is on 1/4 to 1/2 an acre. We go the entire winter without seeing neighbors in person. The ONLY place we are going to get it (working from home) is at the grocery store. And even there the lines have lots of space.
Move further inside the US, to some place like Ohio or Iowa and the distances increase. And people’s personal space increases.
Yeah, in the cities...they might have a tougher time.
NYC has a local law that anyone who needs overnight shelter must receive it. That’s why we don’t have the encampments that you see pictures of.
The virus can probably pass faster in those enclosed spaces, but with our climate we can’t just let everyone freeze to death.
I think they should pass a law outlawing all the loud begging speeches in an enclosed subway car. That spreads viruses and germs just as much as coughing and sneezing.
