This is the moment when social distancing remains a good idea except when venturing outside, when going with someone else is the better strategy.

Not sure I buy the "they'll accept whatever is happening with the stimulus" prediction. My own thought had been the opposite. https://twitter.com/DJSiri/status/1252855516310597640

/- Apropos of nothing, I always thought the "Close Encounters" power failure was created by the aliens effecting the electricity in the transmission lines ("Roy? We're losing power across the grid." the grid is made up of the "distribution" lines to the customers and what I -/

/- just referred to as transmission lines actually give the electricity a way to get from the generating station to those local distribution lines.

The warning lights (which I remember from the original theatrical release) seem to indicate that physical and electrical -/

/- distruptions were used by the aliens to stop the power, Possibly to protect the power station from damage because it was generating electricity with nowhere to go. I have no way to know.
