I know this has nothing to do with modeling but just got this Emergency alert on phone, TV, radio...
We have the same regulation by law already since some weeks here in Austria.
and by the way, already the third time in the last 10 months, so we are here very experienced in this.

We’ve also had previous lockdowns, this is the 1st time they activated the Emergency Broadcast System to announce it.

Good time for building ship models.
No excuses necessary to stay at the workbench and not going outside.

True enough. I’m a High School Tech teacher so lots of time between my online classes to work on modeling.Good time for building ship models.

Ah...the much anticipated post-holiday spike. I'm an 'essential worker' so I have received the first of two vaccinations. The effort I saw just to get my group (1a) vaccinated was overwhelming. I can't even wrap my brain around what it will take to vaccinate the general population. We are a long way from the end of this thing. At least we share a hobby that can be done in isolation. Be safe everyone!
True! It is great to have a hobby that requires your complete focus. The only problem is lockdown affecting manufacturing of kits and so on, so inventories can be hit and miss.Good time for building ship models.

We have a lot of words, a lot of official mandates, iffy government rules for occupancy of restaurants and other public venues, some compliance with face covering, but there a lot of complaints about anything to do with decreasing COVID exposure. Meanwhile the infection rate has increased threefold per day since the holidays. So, I’m just as happy to stay home and only venture out for groceries and medical appointments. I think EXXON must miss me, my GMC 4 X 4 is getting fantastic gas mileage sitting in the garage.

In the Netherlands is also a lock down, but you are allowed to go outside.
Besides the modelbuilding, I'm lucky enough to be able to skate in a half-covered skating hall. That's equal to by outdoor sports. So use it twice a week. To keep up with the condition. Of course, with all the protective measures.

retired early and moved from toronto area to vancouver island b.c . in hind sight was best move i ever made. pretty normal here.
Sorry to hear such problems around the world. Here in Australia, particularly, Western Australia, daily life is back close to normal, except for travel. You can't travel in/out of the State without very good reason (international holiday travel not happening at all). Also, people have to isolate in hotels for 14 days when entering our state. That has just now been relaxed a little. We shut our borders to our own states here, as soon as there are small outbreaks, and I'm talking a hand full. We took strict measures from the start and it has paid off. Good luck to all of you and keep safe.
It amazes me how well Australia and New Zealand have done in handling this nasty virus. Only our Maritime Provinces did this border lockdown and all of them have kept the virus in check. Our most populous Provinces seem to be reluctant to take those same measures. Instead it occurs after it's too late. I feel sorry for my American friends, way too many people quoting their "Rights", as if the virus will somehow avoid them if they do nothing. Crazy sad times. Hope everyone can manage to stay home and stay safe until the vaccines get out there.

We're on our third lock down here in the UK I had to work through the first one but I have plenty to keep me sane but I don't think our government have a clue what they are doing.
I think that the feeling that the government is somehow taking away your freedom, or that wearing masks is a civil freedom violation , just think about that, they are spending billions of dollars/euros/pounds to what? Somehow, taking over your life? Doctors, nurses, surgeons etc have been wearing masks for decades, as a normal procedure , to prevent anything being transmitted between patient and surgeon, why is now an issue? I feel for the rest of the world. Australia has shown the world. I get we have a smaller population but really only under half of the UK, albeit spread around a large area. Shut your country down, no flights, no holidays overseas, that's what we did, promoted holidays within our ow n state. Good luck to you all.
