That does sound nice. Unfortunate that COVID is really going to make it harder for people to pool resources like that to handle an emergency situation.
I’m laughing a bit thinking of the absurdity going on in my brain. While reading the parent comment there were two parallel streams going on in my brain:
“That is so awesome that the community rallied together like that”
“What the duck are they doing having a large gathering in their yard?! Surely they could have figured out a safer way to do that! If someone got COVID during a hurricane with no power that could be really bad!”
> If someone got COVID during a hurricane with no power that could be really bad!”
The 2020 hurricane season will be starting soon. With COVID, the emergency financial legislation running out, the election, schools, holidays, and hurricane season, I fear this fall will be something we'll remember for decades to come.
Agreed, just makes it harder, and removes some of that feel good connection that comes from rallying in the face of catastrophe. Which imo is one of the best parts of being human.
Well if anything (trying to look on the bright side here), travel beyond your own community would be limited so less risk of spreading or bringing the disease over.
