I live in a semi-rural house and I can easily go out my door and walk in the woods for an hour or two. (Or drive somewhere else quiet which I mostly haven't been doing.) The only real contact I've had with people is having gone to the grocery store a couple of times--and I could probably have used delivery for that (although with the lack of stock, that might have been challenging).
