The way things are going at the moment, I'll have to emigrate to somewhere "sane" like Belarus in order to even meet another person.

You can meet new friends at the street protests against the dictator!

Estonia is a better option. Bars and restaurants are open, all without a bloody dictator.

Also the highest Covid rate in Europe right now, I believe?

My s/o is Estonian. The thing is - yes, rates are high - but ... that's about it. There is not much going on beyond incidence rates being high. Which makes me question the panic.

I feel the same in Texas, we don’t have strict lockdowns and I’ve been going to gym, restaurants, and bars since June.

Sure our rates are ‘high’ but are on par with places like California and New York who have very strict lockdowns.

It has a lot to do with density, so both policies can make sense at the same time.

Give EKRE a few more years ...
