How Not To Social Distance

Published

Currently, the only real defense we have against COVID-19 is to stay away from each other. The rule is 6 feet of space groups less than 10. These scenes leading to Belle Isle show that people and from the look of it younger people aren’t getting the message. Take a minute to think of how many folks have touched the handrails of that staircase. I’ve heard rumor that the situation is just as bad on Belle Isle proper and on Brown’s Island. I didn’t check out the rumor because I’m avoiding crowds. The whole way this works is everyone complies.
