Poland is business as usual. We locked down for about 2 weeks and then had some stupid rules where only seniors could shop between 10am and 12am, and there was a limit of 3 people in a store per cash register. This was quickly withdrawn as seniors were just going during normal hours anyways, and all the customer limit caused was HUGE lineups outside while the insides were completely empty.

Everything has been open for completely and normally for about 2 - 2,5 months. People are back to their jobs. People are at the beaches. Kids have been playing in the streets like normal for months. We've been shaking hands like normal human beings. Schools open on Wednesday.

Cases have recently gone up due to outbreaks at coal mines (so they started testing the miners and their families) but apparently it's like 98% asymptomatic or something.

The standing theory is that we are largely unaffected because since 1955 every baby has gotten a tuberculosis vaccination within the first day of life, and apparently countries that do this have been affected much less.
