Are there any new changes or events that happen in your community as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic?

This afternoon I heard sirens from fire trucks. I was curious what it could be from, since I live in a quiet area and there are not usually emergency vehicles. Then I realized it was the fire truck parade that they do now for someone’s birthday or maybe for graduation. This is a nice thing that never used to occur prior to the pandemic.

In New York city, where I have family, every night at 7 o’clock, people come outside, onto their balconies or opening the window, and clap, cheer or bang pots and pans as a way to thank the hospital workers and other front-line staff. Maybe that happens in other areas of the country or world, too, I don’t know.
