What's a "pod"? Incoherent comic. 172.69.63.173 15:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)


According to this New York Times article, it has to do with families forming groups during quarantine. "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." --Borgendorf (talk) 16:01, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
