What's a "pod"? Incoherent comic. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.63.173|172.69.63.173]] 15:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)<br />

According to [https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/parenting/coronavirus-pod-family.html this New York Times article], it has to do with families forming groups during quarantine.<br />
"One idea that some families are considering — and that infectious disease epidemiologists think might be a smart way to balance mental health needs with physical safety — is to create quarantine “pods” or “bubbles,” in which two or three families agree to socialize with one another but no one else. In a pod, families hang out together, often without regard to social distancing — but outside of the pod, they follow recommended social distancing rules." --[[User:Borgendorf|Borgendorf]] ([[User talk:Borgendorf|talk]]) 16:01, 29 July 2020 (UTC)</div>Borgendorf
