Sharing Thoughts With Local Forum, Northwest Corner Chatter in CT. Hope you have such forums in your area online (and more with FB)
Best to all to have some simple routines and places to connect safely outdoors to see someone in passing (10 feet away etc) Maybe getting some personal microphones can assist people with saying hello to those farther away (with some planning for instance...)

Not to throw any one off, but I just heard of that kind of possibility the other day and think we may as well trcy to get clear on a lot of What IFs...that's an ongoing aspect of my blog, livfully.org by the way... chatting away for over five years and reflecting on many events and programs that make for a wonderful community.
