   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 01.04.2020 18:20   
      
    ak>> BTW, what about you?   
      
    AH> And you? I hear Moscow is affected as well... (sigh).   
      
   For a while I am well. Although, I think that deaths from a long   
   quarantine can be more numerable than from the virus. Working was the   
   thing that kept relatives apart. (black humour :).   
      
    ak>> Do you have in Canada COVID19 quarantine for old people? Is it   
    ak>> strict of something?   
      
   The most crazy thing in it is that Putin has imposed the same measures   
   across all Russia. I even heard a story about a man who stroll alone   
   along the sea, and he was caught by the police, for violating self   
   isolation. ;-) IMHO, most of the local authority in Russia are foolish   
   and coward people, and they do exactly as they do in Moscow. They can   
   arrest all Russia without batting an eyelid. Thank God, for a while it   
   is a house arrest. But the measures are crazy and excessive. As Putin   
   says "we react in advance". Although we have now quite many infected   
   people and a very low death rate among them. But nobody pays attention   
   at the statistics.   
      
    AH> The current rules are subject to change... and various provinces   
    AH> may be doing things a bit differently. But from what I see,   
    AH> quarantine is required only if a person actually has this disease   
    AH> or is returning from SomePlace Else. Others are advised to self-   
    AH> isolate, particularly if they are at risk because of their age or   
    AH> because of a medical condition which leaves the immune system in a   
    AH> depressed state. The distinction is often overlooked in news   
    AH> reports.... :-))   
      
   The difference is probably in the way how Canadians and Russians   
   understand the verb "advise". ;-)   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
