[Magdalen] Stay-at-home order

[Scott Knitter]

Photos of a packed Chicago Transit Authority subway train are making the
rounds...packed even after a couple of weeks of more and more shutdowns of
gathering spots (parks, beaches, lakefront). Not good.

I've been conditioned, I guess...I went out to help get groceries in from
the car, and I saw a pedestrian on the sidewalk pass another person who was
walking their dog. I wanted to shout, "Too close!" but didn't. Fortunately
no one was walking toward me...I might have ducked into the car.

I love our mayor's series of public-service advertisements with the theme,
"Stay home, save lives." This is great for showing a bit of her
personality. Usually she comes across as very stern and serious and often a
bit angry. She's serious here but quite relatable too...
