Dreading a dark winter lockdown? Think like a Norwegian

Have you considered moving, even if only temporarily? Based on your comment, I'm assuming you're talking about the U.S. but it's a huge country and there are many beautiful places you could live which also have decent enough internet to allow remote work.

I was actually talking about the UK (since it's a guardian article). I actually live in Vermont in the US, which is currently much more like northern Norway than England.

So you probably don't have a real appreciation of what is happening in the UK.

How long did you stay in Norway?

Edit: word. If you're gonna compare A to B, get some B experience...

Unfortunately only a few weeks, and I never made it north of Trondheim. Someday, when travel is allowed again ....

I don't know where the commenter is, but the source article is from the UK, where many commentators are expecting a second lockdown next month.
