“I don’t think I’ll be able to go to the beach this summer. If I do it will be very early in the morning, I’ll have to plan a couple of weeks ahead, and I probably won’t get to stay very long.'

But Long Island and the suburbs north of the city could be reopening as soon next week, Governor Cuomo announced on Friday. Meanwhile, in Washington, President Trump declared houses of worship to be essential services, and called for governors to open them across the country.
“I live in the Heights, so it’s going to relatively feel the same — domino-playing and bachata tunes blaring from speakers during the day, fireworks and drag racing waking me up at night. The only difference is that everyone’s going to have to figure out how to eat a piragua while wearing a mask.” “I’m trying to find a job right now in production and media, a struggling industry right now obviously. Will be looking for a job, trying to see friends as much as I can, and trying to remember how lucky I am to be going through this pandemic with the privilege to social distance, a safe place to isolate, and a family I feel safe with.”
“I am an introvert who loves being at home, so I feel mentally better prepared for this situation than most people, but I also love camping in my woodsy great state and don’t expect to do that at all this summer; two trips have already been canceled. I can control my own behavior but I don’t trust the general populace, especially here in Michigan, where people have proved to be very resistant to the most basic measures.
“Humid in a face mask. Being paranoid about others being too close. Waiting in very long lines for grocery stores. Drinking outside. Socially distanced play dates.” “Pretty restricted: takeout only, so no real dining experience, no live entertainment — movies, theater. Lots of fresh air, walks, nature. Nice weather, lots of reading, no house guests. An okay but not great summer.”
“Much quieter than I had expected. I had wanted to go to Milwaukee for the Democratic Convention and get more involved in local political actions. Between Bernie Sanders dropping out of the race and the virus, I no longer intend to do so.”
