I've got relatives in Sweden who are reporting in weekly and so far have not been sickened, but Sweden has gone its own way and apparently is experiencing border isolation from its Nordic neighbors.
Ebbie is in Southeast Alaska. I'm hundreds of miles away in Southcentral Alaska. Both of us are hundreds of miles from the Arctic Circle and the Arctic Circle is hundreds of miles from the North Slope. And that is just South to North! East to West is even greater when you include the Aleutians!
Anchorage just inherited literally a boatload of Covid positive people. We're just thrilled. There are regulations about exposed people maintaining self-quarantine but the scuttlebutt is there is lax enforcement and checking. Our death rate remains extremely low but we're a bit nervous and most of us are wearing masks. I tried a restaurant a couple of times but my dog walking friends told me my dog walking days with them will be over if I try that again. Damn, they made a wonderful squid special!
