Abstract: The situation in Myanmar during and shortly after my fieldwork in March 2020 reminded me of the uncertainty of knowledge and call for prudence which started the Allegra corona thread. In the face of possible contagion, my attention was drawn to my own technologically mediated connectedness: In the context of COVID-19, everyday techniques such as payment methods, potentially relevant for transmission, both isolate and connect people. Techniques, understood as ‘effective’ and ‘traditional’ action (Mauss 1973), are crucial to understanding how people are in touch through isolation.
