Tfw you are the only one left who can fill the conscription for your family after you attacked your brother with a sword during class
Yes, I'm watching the Disney Family Sing-A-Long thing, which they put up on Disney+... despite thinking several times a day that I'm glad my mother didn't have to deal with *gestures vaguely around at everything*, I know she would have liked to see this.
She would 100% have made sure to program the DVR to record it even though she would watch it live, so that she'd have it to watch with her grandkids when it was safe for them to visit.

(And with her adult children, let's be honest.)
Ooh, the first thing suggested after the famly sing-along is a concert with the music of Coco.

...I was almost set to pick number 4 because I *can* entertain myself endlessly without video games, but "Big Dog" is a worse drawback for me than anything on the list except bedbugs.

Honestly, though, this is kind of poorly constructed?
If house 6 has no internet... but it does have smartphones and tablets... then I'm assuming it has service for smartphones and tablets, which means you could get internet, just not a landline.

If you can't get service, then its flaw is inclusive of another house's flaw.
I mean you could say "Sure you can have a smartphone with you, you just can't connect to the internet but you can do all the offline things with it" but at that point it doesn't perform the function of a smartphone, it's a PDA.

The fact that so many people are treating the essential businesses that are open as social clubs or outings because they can't figure out what to do with themselves otherwise is a big reason why I'm bearish on safely relaxing restrictions anytime soon.
We as customers need to be using as much contactless delivery and curbside options as possible, and businesses should be converting to do those things more efficiently.

Any kind of early opening effort's going to undermine that. We are still mid-transition for social distancing.
If we as a nation can just sit tight and chill out then we'll gradually get better at getting the stuff we need (and want!) while minimizing risk of exposure to ourselves and the people doing the work.

So many of the bright ideas for opening things up amount to a notion equivalent to "we can deal with mass shootings by telling the people who would get hit by bullets to stay home that day."

Some of those young students will die.
More of those young students will get sick and be robbed of weeks to months of their current lifestyle and possibly months or years of their life down the road.

And more than that will become invisible spreaders.
And the people who think we can replace contagion protocols with actuarial precogs think we can deal with the problem of invisible community transmission by just iterating the "isolate the vulnerable" but that means exponentially more young and healthy people sick and dying, too.
