I think this request from RoseWind came before this Times’ report… Trump ... administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths over the next several weeks. The daily death toll will reach about 3,000 on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, nearly double the current number of about 1,750. The projections, based on government modeling pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases a day currently. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/us/coronavirus-live-updates.html?action=click&campaign_id=57&emc=edit_ne_20200504&instance_id=18218&module=Spotlight&nl=evening-briefing&pgtype=Homepage®i_id=1661550&segment_id=26604&te=1&user_id=da3f811b6ade5763ea5a11e7dc6deabf#link-7b42d0f5 <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/04/us/coronavirus-live-updates.html?action=click&campaign_id=57&emc=edit_ne_20200504&instance_id=18218&module=Spotlight&nl=evening-briefing&pgtype=Homepage®i_id=1661550&segment_id=26604&te=1&user_id=da3f811b6ade5763ea5a11e7dc6deabf#link-7b42d0f5> We have what may be a great opportunity (I am looking for silver linings here) to see how people who are part of a community can make pandemics more manageable. Communities can’t all be in one “quarnteam” or “bubble”, some people must go out for one or more reasons. But are sub groups creating “bubbles" within our own cohousing communities? Perhaps ones in which kids play together? What would be the effect if we all wore masks and washed our hands on coming into and leaving the common house? Cleaned surfaces twice a day? Is sharing the common house a risk some community members are willing to take? What about including friends of people who live in cohousing - Who can one trust? Are there actions we can take that would expand our isolation to include the common house possible? I wonder if it is worth considering putting a small group together to gather information about what people in Cohousing are doing. liz Not yet able to build cohousing, but thinking very hard about how to (if allowed) let people escape to our rural pond side cabin based hospitality business for this summer Liz Ryan Cole lizryancole [at] me.com Pinnacle Cohousing and Loch Lyme Lodge Lyme, NH 802.274.1511 Mobile 802.785.4124 Home 802.831.1240 Work (Vermont Law School) she/her(s) > On May 4, 2020, at 9:59 PM, Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah <welcome [at] olympus.net> > wrote: > > > > BC— Before Covid— the RoseWind common house was well used.
