We (PDX Commons) have NOT gone back to common meals but on occasion (Oregon
is still surging and not from protests!). A few people will make a meal,
and with gloves and masks will dish it out to individuals who come with
their own utensils.  Some will just go back home or sit on one of our two
decks, others will socially distance on our outdoor courtyard, sitting 6
feet away.  This is sporadic at the whim of those willing to cook.  Meals
tend to be simple, except we did have a very nice 3rd-year breakfast
celebration, with hanging flags representing all the states we came from
hanging over the banisters and a photo contest of "guess the 10-year-old
photo" of each of us we hung on the wall:-)
