Been down there many times...isn’t all what you described normal every day congestion? Lol
Likely, however to be honest I believed some of the hype. Elderly with some pre-conditions. However, I haven’t been sick in years, so likely have a strong immune system (decided to stop living in fear). I was shocked how open it truly was. I am not joking about the bridge, miles long and not one parking space. No masks, no social distancing. No second wave.
