Definitely “anecdotal”.

People are always on the sidewalks or lawns talking and hanging out.

But not since this thing began.

but it’s good to see the Federalist putting out some propaganda for our side.

I see some ‘homeless’ person’s abode is now on the porch; away from rain and so forth.

there was a group of 6 gathering last night at our apts courtyard, folks just have to get out of their places. Went down there they were all standing together like a regular cocktail party, no spacing at all so I came back home, it was good to hear the chatter and laughing.

Lots more people out and about in our little town, many groups of people include the whole range of ages from little kids to their parents to their (presumably) grandparents.

Kids riding bikes with an adult walking along, or riding with them.

I’m still chatting with my neighbor over the fence while we hang out laundry.

Social distancing?

The three women in the photograph appear to be recklessly infecting each other.

In some states, you can get arrested for what they are doing.

Or, maybe they realize that COVID-19 is not anywhere near as dangerous as government experts claim it is?

There’s a lot of good things about this shutdown. Light traffic. Low gas prices and yesterday I had a virtual appointment with my doctor. It was easy. Why drag old sick people out of bed to go to the doctor? I’m not sick but what better way to make life and it’s little challenges easier.

Officer Friendly is giving out $500 tickets in my town. Great little revenue enhancer.

Lineup against the wall pols, props, agency heads. Your distancing cannot be greater than 1 inch apart. Some of our older guys have less than 20/20 vision.

I’m not sure but think that being outside, the 6 foot recommendation is not quite so critical.

I'm suburban and what he's describing is exactly true. Kids are out playing in the street and 2 or 3 moms casually watching close by. I haven't seen anything like this since the 60”s. Suburban kids time is over structured here i.e. hockey teams, music lessons, dance rehearsals, you name it and they have an adult hovering over them

I remember reading a long time ago that in Czechoslovakia people were out on their porches and in the streets in their neighborhoods every Wednesday. It was because on that day the TV channels were off the air.

They look to be about six feet apart. The top two might be related so not a big deal.

Yes, I know you were trying to make a point about just no dangerous the disease is.

What a beneficial side effect of the virus! Whether it continues in large or small ways it’s still nice to hear about.

Wednesday afternoon I started hearing horns blaring in my neighborhood. I walked out to see WTH was going on and found about 20 cars driving very slowly down the street- tootin’ as they went. There were kids everywhere waving and laughing at the cars. This procession turned out to be teachers from our elementary school- they were driving the neighborhoods to say hi to their students!!! Lots of handmade signs on the cars “we miss you” “stay smart, do your homework” and so forth.

It was heartwarming and the kids were clearly happy about it.

I like it!

Reminds me of little league opening day when all the teams would pile into the back of pickup trucks and parade through the neighborhood, horns blaring.
