gollark: You'd probably have to block visual input, too, hmmm...
gollark: But imagine if advancing technology allowed us to avoid all spoilers ever of any kind anywhere!
gollark: Anyway, you could *probably* work out some sort of system to filter out news-y things on the internet, but of course COVID-19 is quite wideranging so some would likely slip through. And for real life communication you would probably have to... what, block out parts of conversation with constantly on headphone things and dynamically generate replacements? Hard.
gollark: I think they do have somewhat less international travel than the UK does, but yes.
gollark: Also, arrested? NZ must have had much more enforcing enforcement than we did.
