The situation globally, right now, is do or die.
We don't know enough about it yet to say anything for certain.
We in the meantime just observe all caution.
There was a long time where a lot of people refused to take it seriously
and we decided to shut down because we saw that social distancing was the only thing
that made sense.
After a while it occurred to us, you know, the pain we were going to incur
from not having any business and we thought, all right maybe we can do deliveries.
Not second-nature yet ... these gloves.
There's a way of creating awareness about the situation while also supplying
our customers with books from us in a totally safe way
and also we wanted to create a visual that would really tell people to get used
to these hazmat suits because it isn't safe out there.
They're bored, aren't they?
Yeah, they are bored ... they need slow entertainment now, you know?
The books are a good choice for entertainment and maybe you can even, you know, practice
living a little slower which is good advice in any case.
You know, what is strange is that the books that you'd expect people to buy, like Camus, The Plague,
no one bought that.
There's even The Return of the Black Death, it's a nonfiction title ...
People have left those alone.
They go for the stuff they regularly go for.
It's quite funny to see scared people's faces.
We wave to them, say hello ...
... the neighbours, they see us of the car in full hazmat gear and they are terrified.
One lady up in the hills, she had four kids and she brought them all out and
they were just walking ... It was great. — Something's really happening, you know,
it's not just pizza that's getting delivered on the door but crazy people in
hazmat suits and books, so that's good.
I think the main point about the Norwegian government is that they have now
switched from mitigation to suppression.
I take a lot of comfort from the fact that
they are trying to stamp it out not just ruling over
and letting it infect us.
In some areas you see people ... so many of them that it kind of defeats
the purpose of us suiting up like we do.
But I hope it gets better.
Yeah ...
This was the last run for now.
Now we're going to do what we think is right and self-isolate.
And read some books.
Hopefully!
