I just thought. There are nearly twelve thousand ppl in my town. Obviously, we all can't know everyone.
We all look kind of familiar to one another.
However... we can't be absolutely sure. So we all nod and say good morning to each other just in case we've forgotten :-)

In my own childhood I endured a couple of miserable times with diseases like measles and chickenpox. My nana tied socks on my hands in the latter case, so I couldn't scratch. It was horrible.
My own kids and their kids are properly vaccinated against them.

Who cares? Welcome home I say.

The Event Horizon Telescope, incidentally, is a fantastic example of a large scale decentralised non-governmental collaboration.

That black hole image was taken using 8 separately managed radio telescopes scattered across the planet. It was organised by scientists working in 60 different research institutes in 17 countries across 6 continents. With no motive beyond trying to learn something which they didn't know before.
