Beautiful pics, and nice work on that hike. The government doesn't allow you to be outside? that's crazy - not once was that not allowed over here in cheesehead country. At least it was never enforced to my knowledge - I did get looks when I passed people without a mask, but what can you do??
This spot is literally across the road from my house...Lucky huh?
Yeah, we're allowed outside to exercise but only 2.5 kilometres from home as a maximum and in groups under two or some such thing. Going for a drive is not permitted though; one person from the household can go to the supermarket, doctor, chemist etc. per day.
It's all lifting tonight though [Tuesday] and tomorrow I'll be back at the office. There's still heavy restrictions in place but most businesses will reopen. The restrictions revolve around how many people can be in each 4sqm of internal space. Pubs and hotels will be at 25% capacity which essentially means they will not be viable. Masks on public transport etc.
It's a bit draconian but it's knocked the covid down. No cases yesterday. Sydney are having upper-100's every day. It's out of control there. So, I guess it's ok. I've enjoyed having to work from home.
So interesting...it's been the wild west here since June of last year. Masks are still required for public transportation, but that's about it. Everything else has been open for the most part. My employer, for example, had a mask policy but no one adhered to it unless a manager was around. Plus there was a massive cover up of cases early on to keep money flowing for a restructure.. pretty sad story just to make a few people a lot of money.
I agree on the work from home - that was my favorite thing about last year, but also squashed in June. Debits and credits just can't be made remotely, you know???
It's all a bit of a joke really. To be honest I have got through the whole thing without wearing a mask and we've not been very restricted at all, just a couple of weeks here and there where lockdowns were enforced. Sydney and Melbourne copped it though.
I'd like to work from home all the time although I have to meet clients so...Not possible.
