Is it me or do others find COVID social pods (aka bubbles) elusive? I watched from the Wharf’s dock as the pod boat sailed south.
Where was the pod sign-up sheet? Was there an email campaign? When did registrations end? According to an Axios-Ipsos poll, almost half (47 percent) of Americans have formed a COVID-19 pod for pandemic interaction with trusted friends.
In general, participation favors women and people with college degrees. City dwellers aren’t as hip to it as suburbanites. I’d estimate with the DMV’s educated population and our LGBTQ networks, participation may be higher.
What happened to the 53 percent who aren’t in a pod? Are they still idling on the dock? As a loosely connected LGBTQ man, I find pods intriguing.
