No you’re not crazy, just reckless.

I live in a MD neighborhood filled with lots of doctor/scientist types. There is a block where the kids are still all playing like nothing is wrong. Unbelievable.

There is a group of kids in our neighborhood that go out biking together every day. Then they get off their bikes in the park outside my window and play together, in no way maintaining 6' distance. I'm thinking their parents have some kind of agreement but it's kids from 4 different families. I don't know what people are thinking...

They probably don’t factor in the kids aren’t going to stay on bikes, or distance.

And if when we're out, we run into another family, we put a hand out to catch our kids if they run towards other kids.

Everyone here is being SUPER cautious. I'm sorry your neighborhood isn't.

We are informally doing this. 5 year old is devastated. I’m just grateful we are all enforcing it. Sorry OP.
