I smile slightly as I read all the virus threads here.
In normal times, there are many naysayers when we talk about -
Why don't we have this/that?
Why don't we do it like USA/Europe ?
the overwhelming response is -
Because this is NOT 1st world ----- it's 3rd world , developing nation at best !!
Well - this is where we are now
Our situation is different than NYC, ITALY, UK and so on
Why?
Population size........9-10M
Easier to control
An Island
easier to isolate
Less mobility...
How many people have never left their province let alone the country ???
Not very cosmopolitan compared to other countries
Currently , intervillage travel is cut off for public transport.... less chance of transfer/infection
I am sure you all can think of more -----
Personally, I feel safer here than I might in another locale
If you want fear....
I mentioned them above.....USA, UK, ITALY.... and others
Broadly speaking, the situation here is more benign.... not perfect... not without danger
But overall - less so ------ says me
Just musings
Let's hear yours
