Opinion: What does a socially distanced summer even look like? (via latimesopinion)
on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that social distancing would probably continue through the summer.
But that’s not what Birx meant, at least I think and hope not. A socially distanced summer doesn’t mean we continue to remain hunkered down in our homes until September, except for the occasional run to the grocery store. If we did, there wouldn’t be much of a society or economy to rejoin when we emerged in the fall.
Some people who are at particular risk from COVID-19 may not want to leave the house until there’s a vaccine. The rest of us need to prepare ourselves for a strange and low-key summer with no concerts, fairs or events with large gatherings of people. And nightclubs and bars? Don’t count on it. When we go back to to work at the office or warehouse, if we go back, many of those places will look and feel different, with new rules about interactions like handshakes, spaced-out work areas and staggered work schedules.For many reasons, the current state of stay-at-home measures can’t continue for months on end.
