So now they've added more layers of fear to the mix, on top of the fear of contracting the virus.
Fear of being stopped in curfew and fear of losing your livelihood. Banana republic at its worst.

I'm not condoning attacks on police, but frankly this 8pm curfew time is pretty outrageous, bearing in mind that many people work till 7pm.
These two men weren't allowed to board a train without a permit and got very angry with the police.

The prefectura navy police actually took a family off a bus and left them stranded on Pueyrredon bridge for the same reason.

This is what happens when badly thought out decisions are taken and let's not even talk about the suspension of school classes, which in reality will become semi permanent.
These arbitrary measures are making people very angry.

I've been stopped on my bike more times than I care to remember - sometimes every single day in CABA. The simple fact is that if you don't present your documents to them, you don't pass GO and your bike will be retained.
I have questioned them about this, but then they the become like robots and spout the usual diatribe, blah blah.
No docs, you're fucked.

Much better than the cops here who ask for everything including the colour of your socks. It's a police state here which the UK is not by a long shot, thanks goodness.

What part says it all? the Gutierrez part? oh wait this one is not about race , just police or which one is it?
The fact that the cop tells the army officer that he should be afraid of getting out of his car?

I'll be trying to cook these on the bbq over the weekend.

How's the Biden-Fernandez relationship anyway?

Splinter , the at-home masking must be for families with multiple people, especially kids, going out in different directions, having unmasked contact with potentially infected people.
Y’all do most of your work from home, and when you’re delivering or meeting with clients, you wear masks, right? With his new job, does the young one have his own digs now? Or if not, does his job put him in (masked?) contact with others?
If the two of you are alone, no masks. If you are also with someone whose patterns are riskier than yours, it’s time for a Come To Jesus mtg if you don’t want to need masks to protect yourselves at home.
The youngster is stuck in his room working from home and never goes to head office or anywhere else for that matter, especially now that he can't see his friends.

It seems free movement between 2000 and 0600 is now going to be controlled, but this is not very specific yet. Also the government is asking us all to use masks in our own homes. That is something I will not be doing.

“I’m honestly afraid to get out of the car,” Lieutenant Nazario says.
“Yeah,” says Mr. Gutierrez, according to footage from his body camera. “You should be.”
Says it all really.

It's a difficult decision for a country like Argentina which is already on its knees economically. Thousands of businesses have closed, with many now finding it hard to make ends meet.
A compromise is the only way, otherwise we will see mass protests.

Which he will surely receive since Francisco is a dyed in the wool Peronist.

Now he knows what happens when you constantly disobey an order from the police.
You miss the point entirely. He is black and KNEW he would be treated as such, or worse, shot dead.
The US is and has been for a long time, a police state in all but name.

From what I saw I'm inclined to agree. However I don't know what information the officers had been given which led them stopping the bloke in the first place. Must admit my first thought was why didn't he just do as he was told and get out the car? He was asked several times.
Because he's black and he knows what happens to blacks when stopped by the cops, therefore he probably reasoned that he was safer in his car.
They apparently stopped him because he had a new car with delivery plates on the rear window.

Because the minister of economy will kneel down with his holiness and pray for an economic miracle. Probably.

I for one hope that the army officer wins his case against the cops due to their needless aggression.

27,000 new cases today apparently, with Kicillof (the BsAs governor) wanting a 15 day total shutdown which is not being supported by the government, especially CABA.
Buses and trains are being told to run with all the windows open to cut down infections. Why this new idea now and not before?
The health minister says she has no idea when new vaccines will arrive in Argentina.
Argentine customs are hardening up on imports, to slow down the flight of central bank reserves.
De Vido (Once tragedy) is free walking the streets and Jose Lopez (the nuns fiasco) is about to be released.
Prepare for a total lockdown in Argentina if things get worse by the end of April.
Another day in paradise.

It's all getting a little close to home now with friends of friends becoming infected, some hospitalised and others not making it through, albeit only two that we know of have died.
More young people are catching it because they've been socialising more than us (we don't at all, in fact) and so more strict measures have been taken by us. The youngster is pretty responsible, but this thing can jump even the strictest social measures it seems.
It's worrying.
