@zep We live in a fairly closed little community. At last count 50 occupied residences, most with one or two people. The roads are 22 feet wide, so we walk 3-4 abreast and are more than 6 feet apart. Because there are so few of us, our roads have virtually no traffic, so it is quiet and we can talk.
Keep in mind - our core group numbers about 14, we have all been together since October, only 3-4 of us walk together at one time. We have been sharing daily activities and meals (not now though), we have been sheltered in place together since March 13th, only a few of us leave the compound about once a week for provisions. None of us have contact with newcomers except to chat from the road, don't use common areas like showers and pool, and the clubhouse facilities are closed except for mail & book pickup. We have an excellent cleaning crew who sanitize everything daily, and I use the laundry only immediately after it is cleaned. Because most of our people are older and have health issues, anyone who even has a sniffle immediately self-isolates, and we have even only had 2 cases of flu here back in early January.
When I go home, after I self-isolate for 2 weeks to be sure I didn't bring anything home, I will join my neighbors walking - but our neighborhood has a lot of wide little-traveled roads, so we will similarly be able to maintain distance.
Stay calm, stay safe.
