12-52: physical distancing

Eva: Dave, where is everyone?

Dave: We're all being socially responsible and keeping a some increased physical space between us.

Eva: Oh, I get it. They saw Aggie coming and thought they should give us some space.

Dave: Not that. Well, not that this time. It's more to do with helping keep infection rates down for coronavirus.

Eva: Oh. That sounds important.

Dave: It totally is.

Eva: But can I tell you something? It's kind of sad because the only people I can talk to here are you and this bumble bee. And the bee is not very conversational right now.

Dave: I get it. But on the plus side us humans are spending more time at home with you right now.

Eva: Awesome. And more time at home with humans equals more cookies! So let's be socially responsible and eat more cookies.

The world seems upside down right now, but we're all doing our best. And the dogs truly are enjoying the extra human time at home. I don't think that they've been alone for over a week now, which does mean extra cookies and cuddles. Plus walks in the park are still a good option for us.

 

I heard a good quote saying that "physical distancing" is a better term than "social distancing". Even though we're all physically more distant now, society is doing this together for the good of everyone. And we have such technological gifts available to us that we can keep being social even though we are physically distant.
