They also don’t hug and kiss as much as Italians (or Serbians, for that matter). And they’re more disciplined: if they’re told to get vaccinated, 95% will do it (or at least that’s what happened the last time they were told to do that).
(That’s what I’ve heard from someone living in Sweden, so if that person’s impressions are wrong, I’m wrong, too)
It’s lovely, but I do find all these empty streets, tourist attractions etc. really creepy. The police seem to be enjoying taking smug selfies of themselves enjoying the peace, and posting them on Twitter. Thankfully, it’s not yet illegal to give them abuse on Twitter when they’re being silly.
It’s terrible that those called to save life lives, aren’t granted the safety they deserve.
In Italy, 56 doctors have died and more 6,200 sanitary personnel have been infected.
In Spain, not only 5 doctors have died and more than 9,400 sanitary personnel are infected. 3 guardias civiles have also died and an estimate of 9,000 of those belonging to the security corps (police and other corps, including soldiers) have been infected.
It must be the quarantine that makes my neurons lazy.
Work is definitely slowed down for me. I’m targeting small and medium creative businesses and they are suffering the most right now and design is definitely not their priority.
I’m thinking to get my husband on board and start offering research and charts creatin on fiverr around all this situation. I guess between two of us (my masters degree and his MBA and 20 years of work in strategy consultancy we should be able to provide a great service) but I am still hesitating a bit, I did get quite lazy with working just in design and calligraphy for a past couple of years.
I just got my cake as my main essential , 2 bottles of top 3% Prosecco with an amazing deal and vintage red vine and of course some cheese as from tomorrow they are closing down all restaurants and non essential services.
Overall I am enjoying my lockdown. If before I was working alone from home then now I have husband to keep me company and chat with. Had to switch on doing workouts at home and instead of running in the gym change for a swimming as cardio exercise
