A Pandemic (non-academic) Note re the Imperial Capital

Where I am fortunate enough to live, in Cleveland in NW [Northwest]  Washington, District of Columbia, USA (hoping it still stays united),


I have noticed -- this is by no means a scientific survey -- while picking up thrash in this, my neighborhood, with the help of grabber (during a daily one-hour stroll) an interesting sociological phenomenon characterizing (?) our social distancing times :

The number of single, I repeat single, persons 

walking their dogs seems to have increased immensely.

BTW, God bless 'em (the humans, if not the dogs); it seems that most of these canine lovers, who find virus-free company without humans, pick up their pets' poop with a plastic wrapper and dispose of it in DC public garbage receptacles (BTW, give the DC gov credit -- at least for now -- that these municipal garbage cans are emptied according to a quite regular/professional schedule).
