And how are things there, in Norway?

I do not want to quote the classic Mikhail Zadornov, but I cannot write it any other way: “Well, you dummies!” I will explain whom I addressed this to.

Yesterday was Wednesday, and the Norwegian people made a shopping tour to Sweden, through the border crossing at Svinesund. I take it that Norwegians, without breaking their gastronomic shopping traditions before Easter, tore across the border in their cars to the Swedish town of Strömstad.

True, on the way back Norwegian guards met them and warned that if the like happened again, the fine would be 2,000 euros. And for now — go home and sit in quarantine. I do not know whether they will actually sit in quarantine (in Norway walks are allowed). But the fact that they once again “confirmed” their couldn’t-care-lessness — that is a fact.
