Neighbors having gatherings in the backyard during social-distancing times

If your neighbors get the Covid, they can infect you even by sneezing in their yard. It’s enough that you are also on outside and a fair wind blows. Do not worry, strengthen your immunity, wash your hands, and be healthy!

My next door neighbors are giving me a headache. They have been having gatherings (two or three families) in the backyard, with children playing ball. The ball frequently lands in my backyard, and they ask me kindly to throw it back. It happened for the 4th time today within three days. Normally not a problem. But during Covid-19-times, I don’t like it much. I have to grab the ball (they don’t wear masks and don’t practice social distancing during their gatherings) and throw it back over. What would my esteemed brownstoners do?

Tell them you’ll return their ball once the pandemic is over.

Toss the ball back and then wash your hands or use purell. Not that big a deal.

This is only happening about once a day. Your health is not endangered provided you have a normal Brooklyn 6 foot solid fence and wash your hands after you touch the ball. If you have a short little fence or a chain link fence, then maybe a conversation is in order.
