interesting interaction at the park. showed up, lady there with immediately left, saying to the kids and mom "we have to leave, it's dangerous!"

in a whisper I think I wasn't supposed to hear.

bear in mind there hasn't been a case outside of mandatory quarantine for returning travellers since like April.

she also gave me the stinkeye the whole way to her car, which had a sticker from one of the private schools which is about an hour away from here. so I'm thinking she drove from the city to the mostly rural part of town to find a deserted playground?

Did she confuse you for an American with your Canadian accent? -- nm - . Aug 20, 00:07 1
- I only spoke about three words of Russian to the kid. maybe she's like the Australian Sergei Skripal and panicked. -- nm - mafic Aug 20, 01:07

Still crazy to think that a place can have no cases... - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 19, 21:23 6
- We have (I think) 5 and people are doing *Homer flappy fingers* -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 03:03
- I mean, we're a state like 4 times the size of Texas with the population of Houston. makes it way easier, but they also clamped down harder than any - mafic Aug 19, 21:31 4
  - Still could be done - but way easier on islands or states like Western Australia. -- nm - Meg Aug 19, 21:34 3
    - yeah, flip side is once it's out, it's so hard to contain. around 99% of Victoria's current outbreak has been traced to 2 quarantine hotel breaches. - mafic Aug 19, 21:40 2
      - They really should start charging them with murder, they knowingly broke quarantine, starting an infection is a foreseeable consequence - zeitgeist Aug 19, 23:36 1
        
        in this case it's more that carelessness on the part of the quarantine staff allowed transmission. - mafic Aug 20, 00:47
