Yes, it's a tall order asking Texans to behave, we don't like listening to anyone and tend to write our own rules.
I feel like our city had some (forced) practice at isolation during Hurricane Harvey, however that only lasted a week & not a month+. We've been hoarding food, ammo & TP for years as necessary hurricane prep, so at least we had good practice before all this chaos hit. This was just a little more intense & unexpected than those situations, at least we aren't worried about our houses being destroyed or our cars being flooded out. And we still have electricity, WiFi, cable, open restaurants, & whatever else to keep us happy in our grounded state.
Everything just feels on a tilt right now, but I'm sure everyone feels that way. But I am appreciating ALL the humor to be found, and the funny meme-compensation to combat the anxiety, as well as the banter we still have with all our friends in various ways. I haven't attempted the Zoom meeting thing, but one of these Friday nights I am going to a group happy hour session & drink with some people virtually because it looks like it might be kinda fun.
