I don't get many chances to write here during each day and there are so many posts I'd like to quote, so I'll just say great job everyone and keep the faith.
I took my wife and 10-month-old son to a local lake park. It's a few kilometers away so we took the car. Haven't seen any cops, but we were still within our town limits. I don't kbow if there's a checkpoint coming into Zagreb, though, and I'm supposed to go buy some gardening tools and supplies asap. We have ban on leaving the bounds of our official place of residence but can apply for a pass. And we can only do that through an online government service called E-Citizens which is basically an Orwellian tool of surveillance that I never intended to sign up for and will not do now either. Don't know if I should just chance and go out of bounds (it feels like the Truman Show or The Village).
Anyway, we got to the lake and it was a beautiful spring day. We walked around the lake for an hour or so and saw like 50 people doing the same despite signs that it's closed and police tape that was mostly lying on the ground ripped up by someone. I did one in myself. Besides the walk and sunshine, seeing people who didn't care about the guidelines and bans made me feel much better about the whole situation.
I also talked to my brother who is in Switzerland and he's just disgusted by the level of compliance exhibited by the Swiss. He can't talk to anyone about any of this. People literally just turn their heads. He also says that they've been blocking his internet for using duckduckgo. He's not very tech savvy so I don't really know about that. He says that they keep tightening the rules and he's now allowed to go out twice a week. They have lines drawn on the sidewalks telling you were to go. Apparently you can go to prison if you disobey. Scary shit. He really got stuck in the wrong country when this hit. He also says that his feet and legs got swollen up. Any ideas about this?
