So the EU has opened it's borders to non-EU countries:  Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay

A big part of the criteria was that COVID-19 outbreak to be the same or better than the EU (16 cases per 100,000 people over the last two weeks).

So yeah U.S. is so far not on the list.

So big coronavirus news day.  Mutation and first proven coronavirus treatment. 

dance day 45, 46

So I a while back I reserved a lodge with private views of white wolves located on-site in a zoo.  When CO-VID happened it was canceled and then re-confirmed once restrictions were eased.  

I like zoos. I went a lot with my parents when I was young.  Living in the suburbs that was my only chance to see animals other than pigeons. As an adult though one becomes aware of the complex moral questions raised about animals in captivity. 

After having spent three months confined in my apartment, I saw these animals in captivity in a different light.  Sure, they are well fed and well taken care of, then again so was I.  But the accumulated lack of freedom took its toll on me. After three months I could hardly stand it.  I longed to be free.

So yeah maybe a zoo wasn’t the best thing to go to after three months of lockdown.  My kids enjoyed it though.

Tough.
