Jack has a vet appointment (an “essential service”) but the public isn’t allowed inside. We wait with other sick dogs and their people on the sidewalk, far apart. They take him in and we will wait in my truck. Jack’s vet will call us on the phone, and then we’ll go collect him.

I buy some beers from a brewery taproom I happen to pass. “No Bar Service. 5 Customers At a Time” the door says. I’m checking out and ask “When did you open?” “Next week.” I tip 50%, though I don’t really have it.

Our grocery installed tall, clear plastic partitions between where the checkout clerk stands and the customer lane. There’s a little cutout for the credit card machine. “How’s it been?” I ask the owner, who is ringing me up. “Fine, brother. Fine. Not sick yet.”

Last night the people in my dreams were wearing face masks.

What few local businesses I can still enter, I pause before I do. To see how crowded it is. And to look for guidance: a sign explaining I should call first; orders are online only; pleases santize your hands before entry.

Alongside the chip bags, plastic bottles and bodega bags the sidewalks are slowly filling also with discarded masks and rubber gloves.

Two weeks ago, talking to the few strangers I must, I felt an urge to remove my mask to be heard. Today, talking with a nurse at the vet, I forgot I was wearing it. I realized I’ve never seen her without one.

The grocery store is one in one out now, and mask required. A loose group of men collects out front, waiting for their partners. A woman realizes she forgot her mask. Her boyfriend wraps his coat tightly around her face and the shop owner concedes. “Ok, just... be safe,” he says.
