With the current measures in Europe? Definitely doable.

It's currently mandatory masks in public, keeping distances and washing hands, and no big crowds.

Life feels pretty normal over here.

It's great that life feels normal for you, not everyone is that lucky. People have already started to disobey and it isn't even winter.

Are those measures really unbearable for you? I feel like we are talking about different situations, and I'd like to understand your point of view.

I'm talking from the perspective of a European country with <100 cases/day.

We're doing that in America and cases are skyrocketing.

A lot of places are starting to reinstitute lockdowns.
