@flib Nine days later, and I will amend our previous precautions somewhat. We have had noone ill in our community so far, but are becoming more cautious. There are no gatherings here any longer except very small close groups of friends. There are about a dozen of us who are a defacto family, having been together every day here since October. We are all isolated together here, not in the larger world. We haven't even been to church in almost 3 weeks, nor to any other outside activities except to walk in the deserted state and national parks here.
We are outdoors and maintaining safe distances as we socialize. We prepare and eat food separately, except for the occasional foray by one or two to get takeout and bring it back. Anyone new to the park is not part of our group - we talk to them from the road as one would a neighbor, and apologize for not being our usual inclusive selves. A neighbor had a larger gathering on Saturday that includes people we did not know, and we all chose not to go to avoid introducing anything new to the small group. We shun the common areas, including the pool, except the laundry, which I use in the morning immediately after it is sanitized. We have washed hands and sanitized everything short of drinking the stuff. Everyone must make their own decision about how to protect themselves, this is ours.
Stay well and stay safe everyone.
