I read in the news that, in an effort to revive its tourism business in this time of pandemic, Thailand will allow incoming visitors to quarantine at golf courses. Do you think there would be similar interest in a wargaming-oriented quarantine?

No. Golf is an outdoor sport. Wargaming is an indoor hobby.

Sounds like an even faster way to get sick.

How many golfers are there? And how many miniature wargamers? And of course PzGeneral is quite right. If we were sufficiently rich and influential, of course, something could probably be done with ventilation systems. But the elite do not fly off to Davos for a game of Charge, or even the RL Stevenson wargame.

I could see putting dice you don't like on a golf tee, but not a mini… ;-)

Yes. If I were being quarantined prior to entering a country for tourism, I would likely be with SWMBO, possibly even DOM and SOM. That's a good cadre of wargamin' buddies.
