L.G. O’Connor . I am with you 100%. Ordered some masks from Etsy and via my pathetic handcraft skills, have some makeshift ones.

Thanks for responding to my recent comment to Jessica Valenti’s excellent article on the pandemic. Just thought I’d go on over to your Medium profile and read a bit of your writing. Would love for you to post more on Medium.

Oh. How about this. Yesterday my partner and I were doing our run/walk thing on streets that were fairly empty. Then we saw a cyclist coming toward us. We crossed the street to keep much more than 6 ft away. She waited till she arrived almost opposite us, then she crossed over to our side of the street. We side stepped down,down into the roadside gutter. I called out to her to ask why she moved, wasn’t she practising social distancing. Her response was the very same one I heard two days ago from another clueless person…What is social distancing?

Help us all.
