I've just been out for my daily high-speed walk, which is damn near killing me I might add.
Santiago had a full quarantine and a military curfew. They then decided they didn't need the full quarantine and so reduced it to two comunas (boroughs). Kind of like having designated areas of the swimming pool to pee in.
They're now back up to eleven comunas, out of 20 or so, and likely to increase further. Bear in mind that Chile is on a far smaller scale than the UK and is also some distance behind time wise. And also the fact that the Health system will NOT cope if it really kicks off here and it is starting to accelerate, though not massively just yet..
Yet the comuna I am in, La Reina, is flanked on two sides by quarantined comunas but is about as busy as any normal Monday.
And on Saturday night the police broke up a party of an estimated 400 people.
WTF are these people on?
