Moderators Moderator_02 Posted March 31, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2020 Quote Published 03/31/2020 Panama to prohibit movement during coronavirus outbreak based on gender By Greg Norman Panama is now trying to get its residents to self-quarantine during the coronavirus outbreak by only permitting certain genders to go outside on different days of the week. Starting tomorrow, the Central American country is asking only men to visit grocery stores and other businesses on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will be reserved for women, the AFP reports. On Sundays, everyone is being asked to stay indoors – and any trips outside during the week are advised to be for two hours max. "This absolute quarantine is for nothing more than to save your life," security minister Juan Pino said Monday as Panama’s government announced the new measures. They are expected to last for 15 days. Pino said officials in Panama detained more than 2,000 people last week for failing to quarantine, according to the AFP. However, it’s not immediately clear if those who violate these new gender-based measures will face punishment. Panama, as of Tuesday, is fighting 1,075 coronavirus cases, with 27 deaths, statistics from Johns Hopkins University show. https://www.foxnews.com/world/panama-prohibit-movement-coronavirus-gender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundageba Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Under reported. "As if" this is a suggestion . We KNOW it's been a well orchestrated, professionally managed, progressive containment, begun quite early ... by government order under penalty of arrest for violation.

A late night comedy television show. "The Daily Show is an American late-night talk and news satire television program. It airs each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. Describing itself as a fake news program, The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often uses self-referential humor as well." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. if you didn’t watch the clip, you missed the point, but that’s your loss. AlJazeera, AP, and NYT all have good accurate coverage, imo. The URL you posted is for The Daily Show.

It's an editorial truthfully pointing out the inaccuracies and false narratives promoted and broadcast by FOX News that have endangered thousands of lives, although your vision may be too narrow to understand. NYC's mayor Bill De Blasio downplayed the Coronavirus eight time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JZ0Ruh89f0 I can flood this discussion with dozens of Youtube videos of other politicians such as NYC's director of public health Oxiris Barbot, NY's governor Andrew Cuomo, and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi downplaying the Corona virus numerous times both in press briefings and television shows recently as three weeks ago but that's beyond the scope of the charter of Chiriqui Life. It was my understanding that the discussion of US politics was forbidden here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( boy..I tell ya....sigh....) For me personally , and for my own mental health , I try to stay focused on HERE...in Panama...today. I discovered that just this week. I'm curious, and as well hopeful that something positive in the way of CURE might evolve out of the USA...it has not...yet. I only get bombarded with organized disorganization with bodies being carried off in bags, and joggers still jogging. Worries about the economy......I weary of it. sigh................ I don't start my day anymore with the TV news( ...oh, I do like Panama's news.... ) Here in Boquete we are all screwed into our places.....calmly. Sitting here in the breeze...waiting for the World to change ( should be a song...) I attempt to keep my husband and I healthy & alive. I drive him crazy. I do my best not to irritate him...and he's trying too...but we irritate each other. It's all in this COVID nightmare sci fi episode we are currently living in. PEACE: That's my focus. If I watch TV outside of Panama I go a bit tense, frustrated and irritable...my husband pays the price. I end up ranting...at the TV...pick a channel...any one. We are only into week 4 of this here and the numbers are rising as well deaths in Panama. Easter is on the way...and Panama folks LOVE Easter fun together. Cops will be ready. All Panama can hope to do is hold this at bay . We all are focused on that...together ...doing the right thing. It WILL end......value your days. BOQUETE STRONG Alison OK...just me here. I just went up and pondered again this dialogue in the thread. Got me feeling a bit tense and annoyed all at once. It would be a cryin shame to ruin what Bud so well did to create CL. Just the facts well organized and laid out for all of our wellbeing here. Topics that relate to us here in Boquete. He has really done one helluvah job too !... USA politics are not our issues here. They really don't make this forum healthier. (or us)... I do understand that this did begin with a piece on Panama by FOX...yah every news channel got a kick outta that and missed the entire efforts in place here in Panama to keep people alive. That irritated me.......see? irritation is easy these daze. Edited April 4, 2020 by Brundageba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
