    If you know a young person of college age or thereabouts, especially those living by themselves, take some time to reach out to them and check in on them.  Ask them how they're doing.  Just let them talk.  In my experience mostly what these young people need is someone who is willing to listen.  
    John is spot-on, here, and it doesn't apply to just "college-aged".  Not being able to find someone, just to LISTEN, and otherwise STFU, probably kills more people via suicide than anything, at least in the US.  I can't stress this enough.

    I saw a Mustang for sale for $1,750.00 today. Somebody is already short of cash. I imagine that that there are many in the same situation.

    Last night I was checking my high school yearbook for my senior photo to share in solidarity with seniors (my daughter included) that will be missing their graduation this year. I also found this newspaper clipping. David was one my best friends in high school.

    Definitely agree with this.  My wife has several single people who work in her division and she has converted all their internal meeting to zoom, so everyone is guaranteed  seeing friendly faces at least 6 times/week.
