I'm hoping the 6ft thing stays after too, although it makes some things awkward?

Thinking game of poker, not....

But on another note. People should keep their distance from each other!

I don't know that the death rate is all that much higher than usual, but a lot of the dead are considered biohazards so they can't be sent to funeral homes. That's something they'll have to deal with soon enough (and probably have that worked out).

I never use it. I just pull it out of my pocket when I meet up with people. "I'm with the Six-Feet Police," I say. Gets some hearty laughs. But people usually take a step or two back. I get them thinking. Nothing wrong with that.
