looks like an official FIRST field and FMS and no one waring a mask. It is like I am looking at an event from a year ago! They have done a good job fighting covid over there! Should give the rest of us hope of things returning to normal.

And on that note, whoever had the bot posting reminders about how AU was in a different position than the U.Sā¦
ā¦ Thank YOU! That should help keep the ābut this is irresponsibleā crowd quiet (for this specific event).

Yes! You are correct, Iāll edit my post. Iāve been working with some folks on the west side of Australia and flubbed the timezone.

First day of South Pacific Event was held today.
Live stream can be seen at the same place as last event.
One week since last event.
How fast things can change.
There were 2 Covid-19 cases in Sydney (a bit over 5 million people city) last week.
FIRST Australia jumped through flames and got this event approved to go on with very different protocols.
Full on face masks, no dancing, no singing, no kissing of other teams members.
It was a great day and kudos to the people who organised this in these difficult times.
Competition continues tomorrow.

That kind of abundance of caution response to 2 cases is what I wish we had in the States. Kudos to your government for that response, and Iām glad you could adapt and still do the event.
