Within five minutes, some guy comes right up behind me, with his head no more than two feet from mine, almost looking over my shoulder. I politely asked him to move back and give me at least six feet of space. Then, even worse, a youngish woman decided to leave the venue, and rather than leave at the designate entrance/exit point, she tiptoed along the little stream on the side of the square, and pushed the plastic guard chain aside, so she could squeeze in front of us and go on her merry way. Another close encounter of less than three feet! I was less polite with her. Two very nerve wracking encounters in less than fifteen minutes. I guess we can't be safe anywhere as long as there are folks around who won't respect others. Sad.
So why did you put yourselves in this position? You should have known that there would be a crowd there and after reading 10 million posts about people not maintaining social distance, what did you expect???

The wife and I haven't been to any square activities knowing that it will be crowded and people willfully or unintentionally violating social distancing. The only shopping I do is for groceries because my wife has existing conditions where Covid infection would be fatal. The only people that will try to keep you safe is yourselves.
