Iâm sorry to her about your motherâs situation, and I hope she can feel safe.
I would hope the safety is being enforced by requiring people to wear masks or they canât go in, donât touch anything, wear gloves, etc. How is that being enforced? Right. I donât know, but yes, itâs a lot to put on a realtor.
Maybe only show houses in which people have already moved out?
It does seem that homeowners who are doing the selling know the risks, but yeah, people coming into the house could be bringing the virus back out, or in with themselves.
Do states have specific rules about this? Is home selling an âessentialâ business? I donât know, and Iâm sorry I donât have answers for you.
At least around here, the only homes being shown are those where no one is living there.
Sounds much like listening into my husbandâs work meetings, actually.
That âWuhan labâ conspiracy theory is ancient! (February is ancient, right?)
February 3, 2020:
Thatâs your question? Not why is she doing a self-filmed rant while driving?
Thanks. To be clear too, I wasnât calling you out specifically. I was just trying to say these are really difficult questions that people who generally donât work dealing with threat assessment are suddenly being left to manage themselves.
Maybe only show houses in which people have already moved out?
That seems safest of all, of course. I will say personally, with my mother, that isnât an option but she thankfully doesnât need to sell right this moment.
Is home selling an âessentialâ business?
My personal opinion would be that if the house were going to someone who is currently homeless than by all means, otherwise, Iâd really be interested in hearing the case for it being essential.
The question about states having rules is a really good one and fits most in line with what I think really set me off about the video. The responsibility is being pushed down to the bottom, and she can be livid as heck with her clients for screwing up, but that changes nothing for the homeowner that they visited if someone was infected.
Well, yes. How many other cars are on the road now anyway? 
Oh, trust me. His mask has been off for a while. He has long demonstrated that he firmly believes in âFuck you, Iâve got mine.â
âEverything I do, I do it for me.â
Tornio turning to Sweden
Yesterday it emerged that cross-border traffic between northern Finland and Sweden had tripled despite recommendations not to travel.
Officials were concerned that the movement could risk a spike in coronavirus cases, especially as Sweden has a higher prevalence of coronavirus than Finland.
Ilatlehti reports that underlying the change is a community that tired of the divide erected between its eastern and western parts.
Tornio and Haparanda are effectively a single town divided by the Tornionjoki river, with residents crossing several times a day.
IL reports that the breakdown in restrictions came via a local Facebook group after one man asked a border guard whether he could be stopped from heading into Sweden and back.
When the border guard answered no, leaving the country is his constitutional right, the man spread the news to locals via social media.
IL says the group showed some bitterness towards official messaging of recent weeks that stressed borders were âclosedâ, without explaining that this was only ever really a recommendation.
Hmmmm, while I understand the anger, it seems to have taken an unfortunately racist turn thereâŚ
Holy shit!! Thatâs a new one in me!
