 ML> I've been railing about the irrationality of the rules

The basic rules are in fact quite rational: wear a mask when mixing
with others outside of your own bubble of family and close friends,
press others to do the same, maintain 6' of pysical distancing, self
isolate until tested if you suspect possible contact with a sick
person, and if sick, have public health people track down recent
contacts and test them while they self isolate until they are
cleared. Look at the numbers for Japan, Korea and New Zealand and
then do what they do. My jurisdiction has had no cases for the last
120 days.

 ML> humans, and US ones most of all, have a streak that [is]
 ML> rebellious and contrarian

To your collective great detriment!

 ML> 14 days is extreme.

14 days has shown to be a sensible time frame.

 JW> We now have one positive case at one of the mines

 ML> So how did that happen.
 
(S)he was a flyin worker from outside of the NWT who boarded a
charter flight in Edmonton that flew directly to the mine by passing
Yellowknife. The mine being an essential part of the economy got an
exemption but they have to test every employee every morning and have
a secure isolation area for infected patients and a larger one for
the contacts.

 > Kohlrabi ... taste like ... extra mild turnips

 ML> The ones I've encountered taste like broccoli stems with the
 ML> skins on. Yours, it sounds like, taste like broccoli stems 
 ML> with the skins off.

There are similarities and they are of course related.
