Do any of ya'll saying the kids are doing well live in small apartments and/or urban areas without any green space, though?

Legitimately asking. My kid has been fine and we've been finding ways to burn his energy off. But we have a big house with decent sized backyard with lots to do and in a neighborhood with a ton of green space. I feel unbelievably fortunate and grateful for that right now.

I think that's definitely a concern. I suspect many families that live in higher density housing, in cities where the parks are closed are probably having quite a bit more psychological struggle than those of us that can go out in the yard or on walks every day.

My friend posts pictures of himself and his kids swimming in their pool in the afternoons. I'm glad they're able to do that and are enjoying this time together but I personally would never post pictures of that on Facebook. Just seems really insensitive to me. Sort of like these people that "evacuate" hurricanes by going to Vegas or some resort somewhere . . . calling it "hurrication" or other names they think are funny. I know that evacuating is really hard on those with strict budgets or low income. It's not something to be so trivial about IMO.
