-If the sidewalk is narrow and the "folks" coming at you are not even trying to distance, look both ways and use the street to distance!
-Distance from one another is tool #1
-Following that rule seems to be enemy #1

-I was using rubber gloves pre-covid on metro due to staph and lord knows what else is all over those surfaces (feet on the seat is the least of the grime on the system).
-"Better" in recent times you report. I'm still not convinced!
-If the 2028 clean-up looks like the 1984 clean-up, I will return!
-Happy holidays 2020 to you and yours, BOB2!
