I just talked with a neighbor who has met two new friends, while isolating. Her apartment doesn't face onto the street. Rather, her living room is at the back of the building and faces the backs of the other buildings on the city block ... like in the movie REAR WINDOW. Yesterday, she was out on her fire-escape, and saw a neighbor doing exercises out on a sun porch. They got to chatting, and the woman said "join me," and they did some exercises "together." A man, in another building, joined in.
It was late in the afternoon, and each went in to pour a favorite libation (like me, she tends to be a wino), and they all sat out, sipping and enjoying a conversation.
They had never met each other. But, they're going to have dinner when the many neighborhood restaurants re-open.
I hope that there are many such small unintended, but pleasant, consequences in all of this. Worldwide.

That sounds like fun. Unfortunately there are more people passing through on my block than actual residents anynore. The residents either are in the hospital or left the city already.

Sounds good to me. I don't believe neighbors have to be best friends, but they should at least become familiar with each other.
