Case Fatality Rate - percentage of deaths to cases. On last page I posted a JHU link showing both CFR and MR (Mortality Rate percentage of deaths by population) and Latvia is on the list at 2.5% CFR. It's linked in my post number 847.
I wonder why Australia doesn't arrange charter flights to bring them back like European countries have done? My son returned to Europe on an Embassy chartered emergency flight earlier in the year.100,000 Australians could be trapped abroad for SIX months

More than 100,000 Australians are stranded overseas because of coronavirus travel bans with reparation likely to take six months under travel caps, the airline industry has warned.
According to government estimates, 18,800 Australians in other countries are looking to return home - but industry experts claim the real figure is around 100,000.
One airline has been forced to turn hundreds of passengers with tickets away at the boarding gate, while others airlines can't sell new tickets until the current backlog of thousands of passengers is cleared.
The Board of Airline Representatives of Australia, which includes international carriers such as Qatar Airways, Etihad, Emirates, and Singapore Airlines, warned tough restrictions may leave these citizens stranded for many more months.
In March, they were told to return as soon as possible but many did not. The caps on travel were instituted in July, so they had plenty of time. There were charted flights in March and some people chose to stay where they were.
My son had a March booked flight and could not return because the country he was in cancelled all the flights early March so that was not the case. His airline gave him a voucher but there were no flights at all. His Embassy arranged the charter eventually and got him and hundreds of others home. That is what your Embassy is there for if you get stuck abroad. Maybe you have a link about Australia and July but that certainly was not the case for Europe.
we will get there! 
I remember awhile back your journey home and I was rooting for you.
I'm just throwing this out there as an alternate idea. We don't wash hands after mail or packages. My husband hosts an outside singing event Saturddy morning. All local officials fully know what's going on. He does social distance the sing.
And I travel around all the time working. I do have the sense to wear a mask and wash my hands.
All that to say I hope I can settle your nerves a little. I think your hubby is pretty safe outdoors playing golf.
You probably saw i had to get tested yesterday because I landed in the ER. Just a precaution and I tested negative. My county is a hotspot.
Many hugs.
Of course, you two have to do what you're comfortable with. Just an example of how we survive.
I am going through similar things with my husband. In fact a few days ago he blew up and said "hoax virus everyone is afraid up, it's not real"etc... I feel he knows it is real but thinks it is not as bad as we are being told. I try to be light on the subject when I correct him since he gets so upset. Threw a 2 year old fit at the bank drive through, lol! Because of Covid the line took longer plus he blamed me for not having the hand gel out fast enough after he was done! He acted like I lost it even though I showed him to remind him and put it down again. " Where is the hand gel then bla, bla, bla," acts like I punish him. I think it might be because I kindly asked him to do the small things that he can do for me if he thinks this is all pointless to keep doing. I said I don't want the illness. Yup, really can be stressful and we usually get along so well, 29 years of being married and things are really crap at times. I know several of his friends are real dorks with the talking of it being made up plus one won't wear a mask unless it is posted. We now have senior home window visits with his mom. Seeing a tear in her eye the other day and her saying she is afraid because her body feels paralyzed is heartbreaking. Crushes me that I can't hug her or be near her. Several cases around her and I keep praying she will be safe from that. She was just put on oxygen, she has a blood cancer and has problems with her thinking off and on. Covid19 has taken lives and keeps hurting people in so many ways. Hard to stay positive, in fact lately I was physically sick from everything. My heart is broken not only for me but for us all. I laid around all day and I can't even eat without feeling sick. I feel like it will never get better, this is it just going to stay this way until we all go nuts. I usually stay more upbeat but I hope these next days get better. Sometimes I want to just "live" not to worry, I want to hug my mother in law, I don't want to fear my parents may get sick and I want to hold my grandsons so bad - their mommy works Hospice and there have been positives there too. Feel like the hope is slowly leaving. Sorry that I babbled on, I just need to empty I am sure I will pop around again but if not I am getting help because this is just getting to be too much. Take care WS friends.
The whole thing is depressing and it is understandable to feel like you do and many of us feel the same. You may want to find out when outside visits could go ahead with your MIL and demand compassionate visits if that is possible. You could wear masks and/or social distance. It sounds like you are being cautious so it would be low risk IMO. Take care and rant on here whenever you need to.
