Greece’s authorities imposed two more regional units in hard lockdown regime on Friday due to increased epidemiological load. At the same time, they extended harsh restrictions in other regions, while they lifted extraordinary measures to some others due to decrease of infections.

And the scamdemic never ends…..
…or so the selfish and the willfully ignorant claim.
p.
Grow up ‘N’. This is no scam. Have you lost anyone close to you yet?
It’s not a scam: it’s an hysterical over-reaction with irrational destruction of economies to achieve nothing at all. There is no evidence that a single life has been saved through lockdowns and other measures. On the other hand, many lives have been damaged by loss of jobs, money, businesses and certain freedoms which are an innate part of human needs.
Greece isn’t even a red hot infection area for the pandemic, and that is not for the lack of testing either. I think KM has found his authoritarian calling though. All those tests! The diagnosis is you have the virus. No wait, the nasal swab test isn’t altogether all that accurate now is it? Those spot check thermometer readings either for that matter.
No worries people, Fitch determined Greece to be a stable investment @ 210% debt to GDP, with GDP in free-fall due to the economic closings of course. I lost my 104 year old father. Had it not been for this killer cold virus, I’m certain he could have lived to the ripe old age of 110. And my tabby cat Calvin as well. We mustn’t forget him. He wasn’t tested, but I’m convinced his timely passing was due to COVID. Although I can’t be certain, he wouldn’t sit still for the more accurate anal-swab.
This virus is in the raw sewage. Most older Greek home don’t have traps in their plumbing. You know that little thingy in the drainage pipe that keeps sewage gas from entering the home via the water deposited in the elbow. So it appears to this layperson at least that staying indoors is a mistake unless the government is unknowingly pursuing a policy of herd immunity.
