I would do 700km in a car but probably not on public transportation if I just had to wait another month or two.


So my state lifted all restrictions just in time for the holiday weekend that marks the official start of our tourism season. Tourism is big business here. My library is still closed. Govt. offices are still closed. Rules for thee but not for me. I feel like our government sold us out to the tourism interests. Last year they were marketing us as a safe place to go. Our biggest super spreader event was connected to people who traveled here from somewhere else. If we had closed our borders to vacationers, there would have been far fewer deaths. This seems to be happening in many places, tourists being allowed even when it is not safe, and I find it aggravating.

@rechu it is too bad your government can't congratulate themselves for doing something good, ordering vaccines before anyone knew what would work, and then admit that they bet on the wrong horse. They are just doubling down.
