it’s the same as any play date with people. People play outdoors while masked. When it’s snack time, they sit apart, remove masks, and snack. After snacking, they put on hand sanitizing spray, put mask back on, and play. That’s how people gather together.
the play date was 2 hours with a handful of minutes for snacking. People snack at random speeds and during pandemic it’s faster than what would be usual.
I live in a city with very strict mask rules, including outdoors. every play date is outside - it’s just different than what the press shows for other places.
The only time I’m home, I’ll only be going indoors inside a public space for groceries/food or refueling propane although I recently had to get a light bulb for the kitchen counter and that was an indoor light shop. It’s not the standard lightbulb in a 4-pack but one of those long 24” (??) thin tubes that’s $15 retail yet worth not storing in my house since it would likely break in storage.
