Ding dong. Is that a stray Instacart or pizza delivery? Mormons? A Girl Scout selling cookies? A volunteer canvassing for a political campaign?

Parents are talking to their kids about going near other people’s yards, political volunteers said they may never canvass again, and Door Dash delivery drivers worry about their safety.“She left her sweatshirt at someone’s house and they said she should go in through the back and get it; the door’s unlocked if they’re not home,” a friend of mine said, explaining why she didn’t let her daughter retrieve that sweatshirt over the weekend.
