“In general, New Yorkers glad for an opportunity to show they care about one another.”

I was believing the report for the most part until you said this.

Well, Buster, I don’t think you ever lived here.

The social code is not to “bother” one another, or else you’d be overloaded with human contact after 15 minutes on the street. So we keep our social outreach in check.

Let the rules change a little bit and we are all too happy to show that we care. It’s all over the place. It’s a New York thing. Like an “OK to talk” sign went on. Of course we keep it to a minimum, and not just because of viruses. It’s still 1,000 times more than usual.
