Swim with the stream

Rio de Janeiro, March 2020

From today on, the beaches are closed. Not only that but all other public spaces such as restaurants etc. like in most countries affected by Corona crisis. Yesterday, I had my last run and swim on Copacabana and it hurts to give up my newly gained sportive activity which is crawling in open waters back and forth. Wilson Witzel, the governor of the federal state of Rio de Janeiro, has ordered to keep in self quarantine at home to swim with the stream, following the necessary rules to control the outbreak of Covid-19, acting independently from the country‘s current president who is undergoing an impeachment process, due to his irresponsible and trumpesque attitude towards the worldwide pandemic situation.

And because of empty streets in the city, the number of criminal assaults is rising up rapidly since bandits are in desperation to get hold of enough clients to steal from. And this is just the start. No idea where the situation will end up in a couple of weeks. Caught a cold somewhere so stayed at home. My sister brought me food because I still keep an empty fridge like the usual. Mr P has to shut up these days, following my instructions the best he can.

No discussion.
