Guest Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 "RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The “baile funk” dance parties have been called off. Some open-air drug markets are closed for business. Gangs and militias have imposed strict curfews. Coronavirus is coming, and Rio de Janeiro’s lawless favelas are gearing up for the onslaught. Now, with the state government woefully underfunded and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro widely criticized for a slow response to the outbreak, criminal gangs that have long held sway across Rio’s favelas are taking their own precautions against the virus, according to residents and press reports. According to well-sourced Rio newspaper Extra, City of God gangsters have been driving round the slum, blaring out a recorded message to residents. “We’re imposing a curfew because nobody is taking this seriously,” the message said, according to Extra’s Tuesday story. “Whoever is in the street screwing around or going for a walk will receive a corrective and serve as an example. Better to stay home doing nothing. The message has been given.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-brazil-favelas-fea/gangs-call-curfews-as-coronavirus-hits-rio-favelas-idUSKBN21B3EV Even in the United States, local Mainers try to Forcibly Quarantine Out-of-Towners: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/us/maine-coronavirus-quarantine-tree.html Its happening with ISIS too: https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2182946/isis-orders-its-members-avoid-europe-because-coronavirus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
