Which States Are Best at Social Distancing

'RESIDENTS IN THE District of Columbia, Nevada and New Jersey are doing the best job of social distancing in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus, according to a recent report by human mobility data company Unacast.

The New York City-based company created a scoreboard, which it updates daily, to keep track of how well people are staying home and distancing themselves from public places. The report looks at residents' average change in distance traveled from Feb. 28 to present day using data from mobile phones via apps that use location data. The scoreboard is updated daily but reflects data from a few days prior. On Thursday, the scoreboard represented March 22 data, according to Unacast.

Travel decreased the most, in Washington, D.C., with residents traveling an average distance that's 61% less than it was at the end of February. Nevada (55% less), New Jersey (55% less), Vermont (51% less) and Massachusetts (50% less) followed close behind.'>>>

I don't come in contact with Trumpsters. It's been a nice 2 weeks. Getting my spring work done in the yard and a lot of porch time. Sitting here now enjoying the thunderstorm.

I am getting a lot of inside cleaning done. I cleaned two bathrooms. Tomorrow I will clean the fridge. My husband is pitching in nicely.
