In reply to the discussion: My advice on staying at home... for what it's worth. [View all]Squinch
(50,944 posts)50. I actually am comforted by the fact that my beloved neighbors are so close.
We're not seeing each other except through zoom and occasional distant convos in the lobby or in the park across the street. But we're sharing ideas and I feel like help is close at hand if I need it.
As for outside, our park is too crowded for me on nice days. Rainy days its fine for a walk. But walks through town are ok. No one is in the sidewalks.

This is a good list. I suggest an addition: zoom meeting with loved ones at least every few days.
