How hard is social distancing for you? [View all]

Im asking this because of folks living in apartments with common halls, crowded family homes, etc that makes it harder to distance.

I am very lucky to have a large yard to go outside and get fresh air without getting anywhere close to other people.

I also feel very sad for those in close quarters without much fresh air. Im also very pissed at my rural "neighbors" who strutt around walmart without masks without regard for their fellow humans.
