NHL Hockey seemed to work. But that was in Canada. The 'bubbles' weren't breached, no-one played silly buggers about the need for social distancing and isolation, it just happened, Over a 3 month period, with over two dozen teams with their families (in some cases), operations staff, refs, reporters, hotel, restaurant, housekeeping and transportation staff, there were ZERO cases in the Edmonton bubble and ZERO in the Toronto bubble.

I really think it helped not to have ANY asshat politicians trying to score points through misinformation and derision.

Almost certainly, though the article only identifies as an "old TV" and says the owner was "mortified." But I did learn a new acronym in the process:

An entire village lost its broadband at the same time every day for 18 months.
Now we know why.

Unsurprisingly, this story originates in Wales.

In the pic to the right he's clearly holding his breath....maybe he's not really amphibious...

Maybe he's wearing a mask. I watched The Shape of Water.
