My s/o is Estonian. The thing is - yes, rates are high - but ... that's about it. There is not much going on beyond incidence rates being high. Which makes me question the panic.

I feel the same in Texas, we don’t have strict lockdowns and I’ve been going to gym, restaurants, and bars since June.

Sure our rates are ‘high’ but are on par with places like California and New York who have very strict lockdowns.

It has a lot to do with density, so both policies can make sense at the same time.
