Pedro Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 "The organisers face a £10,000 fine for breaking lockdown rules." Screw that! Fine them and each of the 400 people in the party. It's funny how a 500 or 1000 pound on the spot fine brings people's enthusiasm for gatherings way down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number of regions, including Andalusia, Castilla y León and Murcia, @Skippy also want to introduce a full home lockdown, like the one imposed between March and April last year. Oh FFS......not again! This is because they let all the fucking Dagos run loose over Xmas and New Year! And the likes of us have to suffer for it!

Having said that, there's a fair few Covid-deniers out there who still think this is some sort of New World Order conspiracy. That’s because they are fucking stupid.

Pedro Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 When I was in the Algarve in June Portugal was having a much better time controlling covid than now, all restaurants and bars and establishments had to be closed and empty of patrons by 11PM. People were worried they wouldn't be able to enforce this to tourists considering that throwing out a bunch of tourists after they've already had a few too many beers by as early as 11 would be hard. The solution was an instant fine to the establishment of 300€ per person inside, and a fine to each person as well. The way this was enforced was by fully prepared riot control police, they would cruise the streets with the full squad of guys inside the van, and have a couple of officers already in riot police uniform go into the establishment and advise them in good manners to clear out by the time they would return in 15 minutes. Was it overkill to use riot control? Yes it was, but that police would be bored on standby anyway, and the sight of them made things go smoothly. I find states are too quick to declare a state of emergency to arm themselves of governmental freedoms they probably shouldn't have (and very unwilling to them give them back), but are too weak to actually enforce the actual measurements they decide are needed on account of not loosing votes for next election. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 starting to look like there night be another lockdown coming here, media have been "leaking" the idea for the last week, prepering the terrain so to speak, the officials and govt offices have gone from "unneccessary" to " Unlikely" to " undesirable" to " can't be ruled out" to " it depends on the figures" to " possibility"... there is an official govt announcement due wednesday pm.

Pedro Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 So, welcome to the reality of Portugal. In the first covid wave Portugal was seen as an example of how to cope with a pandemic amongst European countries. We had our first infections almost at the same time as in Milan, but with very good results specially compared to Spain, the UK, Belgium, not to mention Italy. However, we are currently leading the world's most infections per population chart, at least we're leading something. On the tv, you get heads of medicine from our biggest hospitals complaining that the national health service insists on drugs that are proven not to work and disregard WHO's recommendations, and ignoring pleas for medicines that are proven to have some efectiveness. We have the government insisting on having all schools attending classes in person when it's proven that kids are a major factor in transmitting diseases between each other's parent because they failed to create the necessary means for online teaching. You have people walking imaginary dogs in city centers holding a leash. Politicians and everyone wearing ineffective cloth masks just pretending to follow some arbitrary rules like if you could tell the virus to follow said arbitrary rules. Portugal's biggest hospital created a new ward for covid, with 24 beds The shining example just proved everyone that it's success on the first go was merely a fluke 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
