    $$subj:curfew?$$

    There is talk of implementing curfew (8p-5a) in Ontario. Quebec is
    already doing that for most of the province.

    Is there anything similar brewing in the USA of other countries?

    Not here in Brazil. People decided that they can?t get the virus by ignoring its existance. Good times to be an undertaker here.

    Is it mostly young people being deviant?

    Does Bolsonaro still consider the virus to be a just "little
    flu"?

    Nah, EVERYBODY IS DEVIANT HERE. I am the crazy hermit that insists on staying home.... everyone else is going out, mostly to outdoors activities (movie theaters are open but very few people are attending). And that?s from the young to the elder.

    Fortunately it is mandatory to use a mask here, altough many people leave their noses uncovered (or suffocate, according to some).

    If there is no vaccine we will be extinct.

    Heheh. Maybe that is the truth afterall!


    ...(movie theaters are open but very few people are attending).

    That's sounds incredible. Are they theaters atleast forcing
    people to sit farther apart from each other?

    The whole basis for restrictions here is to minimize social
    gatherings of ANY kind.

    Technically, they say, that your mask is protecting other people
    from YOU. It would be YOU who is spitting and coughing or, as
    out Prime Minister once put it - "speaking moistly". :/


    If there is no vaccine we will be extinct.

    Is there not yet any beginning of a rollout of the stuff in your
    major cities, atleast?

    Movie theaters won't recover. Everyone went out last March and upgraded their TVs. We went from a 42" to a 55", and got the last 55" TV at Best Buy. It seemed like all of the people who had 55"s were buying 80" TVs.

    If I'd been able to really enjoy my last few movie theater experiences, I might feel differently. But, having the person with the Costco-sized crinkly bag-o-candy, the movie talker, the easily-startled woman, and the chair-kicking kid in the chair behind me, I'm done with the movies.

    I will go see the next movie that benefits from IMAX; Dunkirk and 1917 were worth going to see in the theaters. I wish I'd seen Interstellar there. Gravity was good, too.
