John. the building is old and the apartments are too. I wrote a follow up - the blondes have ben seen roaming the neigborhood maskless..  They are hanging out on the fairly low fireescape without masks.  These are rich families kids.. they are not bundled 5 in a room.  The building isn't owned by NYU.  The aparments are rentals.  THe fireescape is not a good place to hang out under anycircumstance.. 5 of them on one level?

They are supposed to be social distancing or have done so before getting here. They are all taking turns taking photos of one another and huddling over their phones.  But they should not be out on the fire escape for any reason
and we know they have been running around the neighborhood without masks..

I don't know what housing arrangements are like in an old apartment building turned into a dormitory, but I suspect those women are room-mates living together.

Does the University have the whole building & renovated it into a dormitory? Or is the University just buying up apartments à la carte to house students wherever they can?

They could be social distancing from the rest of the world, but what would be the point of social distancing from each other if they're all sleeping in the same apartment, sharing a bathroom & kitchen?

In the image, you have the two outside women striking a pose while the three inside women are photographing them with their phones ... except that the seated women appears to be chimping an image she's already taken.

Roommates. How do you social distance from your college roommates?

As my downstairs neighbor put it "prancing and posing" with no pretense

That appears to be a universal problem. Well, something must be causing
all those rising numbers.

In front of the café and restaurant across our little square before my
window, they are greeting each other with hugs and kisses and their idea
of social distancing looks more like sitting in each others' laps. If
they're wearing masks, they have them under their chins.

The last few weekends here have been exceptionally warm and our police
had their hands full closing down pubs where noone gave a damn about
protection rules and disbanding illegal raves in warehouses and parks.

A few weeks ago, I've read an article somewhere describing the typical
superspreader as: young, loud, and doesn't have symptoms yet. Check!
