How am I going to eat my burger at the Spur with a mask on?
My question is how am I going to enjoy my Pasta with Lamb Ragù with this contraption on my head and the added fear of catching Covid from the fellow patrons ? I guess Corona will have mercy and take a break during lunchtime.

No home sharing is what he said
Yes. And he said home sharing such as air BnB.

Not sure why Mila is ranting, it kinda makes sense. Some of those units are in apartment buildings and it'd be putting regular residents at risk admitting travellers.

As opposed to just walking past them on the promenade or in the local grocery shop when they stay in the hotel next door?

I reckon it is just another case of guavamint not having the IQ required to think these things through. AirBnB typically means:
- better social distancing than hotels, less people congregating in a single place
- no hotel staff required to expose themselves constantly to travelers
- and hey Joe Soap can get a bit of financial relief if he's renting out his place, as opposed to a big corporate hotel

if I was an AirBnB host I would just ignore the guavamint and do wtf I wanted once any sort of leisure accommodation is allowed, just don't get caught

Airbnb also means less centralized control.

So our commie overlords looks at something like that and ask themselves who is in control of all the rooms and then they basically shít themselves when they find out it can be individual people.

What I find more interesting is that both EC and GP seem to follow the same line and have similar upswing and downswing at the same time. Is, that even possible?
• GP seem to be reporting deaths in batches
EC too, they alternate the deaths.. one day GP next EC

While official guidelines will be published at a later date, the government has indicated that restaurants, bars, taverns and shebeens are still prohibited from selling alcohol for onsite consumption.
This is likely to be a blow for the struggling restaurant industry which had asked the government to allow for the serving of liquor with meals as part of its reopening plans.

Government has also indicated that while a number of non-contact sports will be allowed to resume under the revised regulations, gyms and fitness centres will remain closed.
