The neighbor kid and my daughter have walkie talkies. I'm sure they will sit "together" and read books? Probably not really talk except the occasional, hey, I finished a chapter.
Wyoming also has a population density of 6/sq mi. They can get out of the house and practice social distancing.We've got some hypotheses about that one:
1. Some people live in towns without things like grocery stores, so they are driving 15-40 miles to go shop and get back home.
2. A lot of people also commute from those small towns into bigger towns to work. Douglas to Casper and Douglas to Gillette come to mind.
3. We have no stay-at-home mandate. It's a conservative state, so a good portion of the population is still operating under the "this is a liberal hoax" mindset.
Tucker Barnhart (Cincinnati Reds catcher) has been on the news talking about getting the season started in empty stadiums so people could at least have something to watch on TV. I'd be all for it, although they'd have to be super-vigilant because any illness would go through a clubhouse in a hurry. Wonder if that means my security side gig at the ballpark would start up too?Wimbledon canceled. First non war time cancellation ever
Wow. So sorry to hear this. Did they all still see each other or just a lot of covid activity in the area? I hope this thing gets under control soon. It’s got to be tough for you to be so far away from family, however under the rules you couldn’t go see them in-person anyway. Thank god for the video chat service options. Stay strong.Found out last night someone from my graduating class died from covid. There is at least 5 other people from high school, that I know of, that are sick from this (positive test result) who are either quarantining in-place or at the hospital. Getting ultra worried about all my friends and family over in NYC/LI area...
We hadn't mowed our grass in two weeks, so between the empty streets and overgrowth, I told my wife it was starting to look like Pripyat already.The wildlife is taking over!!
These are all separate cases. Long Island is just really hit hard due to its proximity to NYC, the higher than usual % of the population being elderly, and the fact that...it's an island, so you can only social distance so much on an island where over 3 million people live...This obviously isn't using Queens or Brooklyn in that number.Wow.
