My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it. View all posts by Hettie D.

Hettie's Reflections 
Does it mean Shelter in Place?! You can go for a walk, it’s great. In Moscow all walking are prohibited, regardless of health guidelines…

Yes, you can go for a walk if you keep a social distance. There may be specific regulations in place, like in Chicago Mayor Lori closed the Lakefront and the Riverwalk, and the parks, because people were congregating there in large groups. As you can see, the playgrounds and the outdoor gyms are closed. If you go back to the earlier posts, I posted about the letter from our Park District where they said they will close the trails if people won’t follow the guidelines. So far, people do. Also, sometime earlier, I posted the announcement of shelter in place in Illinois by our governor, where he explains what exactly it meant

I think, it’s not enough… In Europe you can’t go out, still they needed at least month to get the top and begin descending… Write please about Finland in more detail.

There are many countries in Europe, and each country has a very different situation. In Finland, it’s pretty much like with us; you can walk, bike, etc. However, they have virus contained, no spikes, and their health system has it under control. They had a chance to get ready, they looked at their neighbors, and took actions.
Also, Boris is part-time with Huawei, and they send their instructions to all their employees worldwide. They encourage people to get outside.

Oh, China and South Korea are quite different… They had strategy no one country could adopt. Ok, we will see…

It is premature to tell at the moment, which strategy is working and which is not. All the world except China is still not over it, and it is impossible to say, which measures will prove to be more effective. I would not even try to guess.
