this is so fucking wild to me, here in sweden we just put up hand sanitizer bottles in stores and plexiglass in front of the cashiers, and told everyone to pwease keep their distance and not use public transport (and then acted surprised when the public transport use decreased)..
I mean tbf swedes were already social distancing long before the pandemic...
there was a very common joke along the lines of "man i can't wait until the 2-meter social distancing is over, so we can go back to standing 3 meters apart!"
All sorts of dumb shit happened in North America. A favourite of mine was people leaving their mail in the mailbox a few days so to ensure the germs died before picking it up?
My favorite was all the bullshit companies pulled "because covid".
Like "sorry our phone representative wait time is longer, it's because covid". Like what?
Or grocery stores closing all doors except one, thereby forcing all their customers into the same narrow space lol
Some of us were microwaving it 🙄
At the very beginning I woke up one morning and could not use my right hand, the tendons were so painful. I've had a lot of trouble with my hands, but they had been better, so I was pretty concerned, until I got ready to go out and realized that I had gained a habit of death gripping the small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol I'd been keeping in my right hand jacket pocket. I'd been spraying everything (outside my house) before I touched it, like door handles and such, but just clinging to the bottle for dear life even when not in use.
Which was also dumb because the virus was airborne, not contact based
But we didn’t know that for sure at the beginning, hence the precautions
A lot of places were still requiring that shit in 2022
The Swedish approach was highly politicized here. Showing how it was "all about control".
