04:48 < pipirella> no 04:48 < queip> gmaxwell: I know people who have court cases for e.g. not wearing a mask 04:48 < pipirella> lockdown is impossible in sweden, but they can limit crowds, never disallow them 04:48 < queip> it was illegal for few days to travel outside of city or smth, and for some time it was illegal to travel to buy non-essential things 04:49 < queip> but most shops did closed 04:49 < gmaxwell> It isn't real here. I mean, yes, they close bars/entertainment/etc. but in reality enough people are worried most of those would likely be unprofitable to open. Because necessarily people need to go out to carry essential tasks, in practice that means anyone can do pretty much anything that doesn't result in a public gathering. You might be asked to provide an excuse, but in reality no on is 04:49 < gmaxwell> stopped. 04:49 < queip> then many figured out how to work around the laws and reopenned in some funny form, like in trailers, with max customers = 1 at a time 04:50 < gmaxwell> yeah and a lot of things reopened with some less or more plausable virus theater. 04:50 < pipirella> they stopped serving alcohol at bars after 10 in the evening, but they do serve low-alcohol beer and soda 04:50 < queip> well here most shops in shopping centers are closed, not just bars&cinemas 04:50 < queip> I think now perhaps it was better to SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING. for 1 month and then just guaranteen everyone entering country 04:51 < queip> instead we get yaer of slowly fucking economy 04:51 < Emcy> gmaxwell yes 04:51 < Emcy> re: actual lockdowns 04:51 < gmaxwell> So from my perspective what lockdown is == closing big public gathering places (which I think many more people would agree is prudent) + give everyone a solid excuse to say no to participating in stuff they're not comfortable with. 04:52 < queip> also they should do that legally. pass a bill, have a senate and president sign it, give it like 5 days of vacati legis or what ever it's called 04:52 < queip> instead gov now e.g. closed all furniture shops by a tweet "oh yeah guys in 15 minutes it will be illegal to have such shops opened. LOL." 04:52 < queip> it was literally done at 23:45 and started being (illegally) enforced at 00:00 04:53 < pipirella> gmaxwell: yeah, that's reasonable things 04:53 < buZz> queip: they dont do press releases of changes in your nation? 04:53 < queip> buZz: they tweeted it 04:53 < pipirella> I think you can put limits on companies, but you have to compensate them if they do actual useful things, but government should be careful about restricting personal freedoms 04:53 < buZz> so no press releases? 04:54 < queip> buZz: dunno if there was also a press conference about it, probably no 04:54 < buZz> tweeting is just a forum, thats not a press release 04:54 < queip> this is all totally illegal 04:54 < buZz> queip: a -press release- would be the normal method of telling the public 04:54 < Emcy> in january, my gas boiler has to be inspected by law. ive tried to get them to delay it but i dont think they will 04:54 < buZz> a tweet is just someone reminding you 04:54 < queip> buZz: there was no prior notification of that fact before the tweet that in 15 minutes law changes 04:55 < buZz> what nation is this in? 04:55 < pipirella> polski 04:55 < queip> think Soviet, but people are less oblivious 04:55 < buZz> you think? 04:55 < queip> and less creative in cheekeebreeke all problems and many still demand handouts 04:55 < Emcy> i have no choice but to move everything i need to cook out of the kitchen into the living room and seal the kitchen off, the boiler is in there. I also have to seal up the existing entrance to the space under the stairs where the gas inlet is, and cut another entrance via the kitcen thru the plasterboard. 04:56 < Emcy> then i have to live without a kitchen for 2 weeks, probably 3 before i feel ok about it 04:56 < Emcy> thank god the bathroom taps are potable too 04:56 < Emcy> hows that for a lockdown? 04:56 < queip> Emcy: ? 04:57 < Emcy> thats my shitty fucking life now 04:57 < buZz> Measures in Poland will be tightened from Saturday until at least the end of the month, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced on Tuesday, adding that the current tightening in Poland is β€œthe penultimate step before a total national lockdown.” 04:57 < buZz> i see a press release queip 04:57 < buZz> guess you just missed it 04:57 < queip> buZz: no 04:57 < queip> they change rules each few days 04:57 < buZz> no? 04:57 < buZz> yes, news does keep changing 04:57 < queip> furniture shops being closed was one of such instant tweeks 04:57 < buZz> thats why you watch em daily :P 04:58 < queip> and even if they would call a press conference at 23:45 that in 15 minutes it's illegal to shop furniture, in addition to tweeting it, still the problem remains 04:59 < queip> law should not change in 15 minutes. and writting something in internet, or telling it to press, is not a legal form of changing law 04:59 < buZz> they did similar here in .nl , announced all coffeeshops would be closed from march , ~12hr after press release 04:59 < queip> you need to pass a bill or resultion. most of this stuff needs full new bill 04:59 < buZz> it was a fun 12 hrs 04:59 < buZz> i made so much money, lol 05:00 < queip> buZz: was it at least legal? 05:00 < buZz> everyone in panic if they could have enough weed to 'last corona' 05:00 < buZz> queip: hm? no , weed isnt legal in .nl 05:00 < buZz> its 'allowed' 05:00 < queip> buZz: was such change in law done in legal way 05:00 < buZz> its more legal in US 05:00 < buZz> pandemics allow different measures 05:01 < queip> in Poland you could - you need to declare state of emergency.
