It's a Petri Dish Out There

In Foster City, oblivious to the norms

Many of the county parks are closed, and more people are getting their exercise on the Bay Trail.

Little kids on bikes speed ahead of their parents, oblivious to the norm of social distancing. Adults jump to the side, which would have been an amusing sight a month ago.

An African-American man and I walk toward each other on a narrow sidewalk. I cross the street before he gets close, which some consider a racist move.

We smile and wave. Yes, the world has changed.
