Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
When you guys talk about food it brings memories and makes me want to go to some local Brazilian restaurant, but they are closed.
Must be patient.

yea, when i was out of brazil for a year i felt displaced, the quality of food in canada was subpar, fresh access to fruits and vegitables.
the ability to have a conversation with anyone without any preconcept,
many pros and cons to brazil and americas, funny when you look at the grander scheme of things no ?

The PY Pres. announced a 4 step process for PY. Next Monday some small business's 800 sm of less may reopen. (No bars, food courts etc.)
From what I read nothing about helping those on the bridge, but Itaipu may find a solution since it is Binational between PY and BR. Itaipu has been a savior in Foz. Donating over $R 7 million to the hospitals and obtaining equipment for healthcare workers. The also have picked my little Vila for a new tech center for business. (Do not know if more traffic or housing prices will increase?
I scratched my head as to who has money to buy things, but I guess the small shops will have jobs for some at least.
Who knows. Recent article praised PY as having the least exposure in S. A., but who was responsible in reporting such?

Yup trying to keep my family here away from local zoos. Not hard as I've always worked from home so going out is not a big thing for me.
At this point I've hired someone to do grocery's for me, we wash them on arrival.
Upgrades to internet - i just have them tell me what they want to do then i do the work myself.
Neighborhood doesn't even go near my house as my dogs lose their shit if anyone goes near the front gate.
( They used to as i originally extended the garage roof to be nice when it rains for shelter ).
I think at worst case scenario is where i buy a gun in the event the dogs fail but i don't think will ever get to that point ( praying )

Being in a Country caught up in "Customs and Traditions " I have the Party Neighbor, I wonder how his kids sleep at night , I have become accustomed to the loud music and the sing along...lol...Sleep just fine.
I am not about a Vaccine, I am about a " Healthy Immune System" I need 60 proof, the best I can do is Bombay Sapphire. ....it cleans the pipes......wish I could find "Bookers".
I麓m so accustomed with everything in Brazil that I麓m immune to almost anything. Loud music? I don麓t hear them anymore... Barking dogs? Now music to my ears... That麓s real immunity. I麓m now grabbing real quick a Heineken as I hear strange sounds from my newly-wed neighbor!

Nowhere have I seen a lack of respect for other people`s need to sleep as I have seen in Mexico.
I remember two awful occasions:
In a project for Tequila Cuervo, in Guadalajara, we were staying at the Crown Plaza.聽 My room window was right by the large gazebo they had in the courtyard and, one a Wednesday evening some people rented the place to celebrate a wedding and the mariachis were going full blast right by my window.聽 I called the front desk several times after 10 PM, as I had to be up by 6 AM and usually need 8 hrs. sleep to function.聽 At 11 I finally told them that I was going to call the police, and the noise finally stopped.
Another instance was when after leaving Brazil with the family and living in a wealthy neighborhood in Chihuahua, our neighbor decided to have a party, again in the middle of the week, and way past midnight, he decided to take over the mariachis and, drunk as he was, start singing in the mike.聽 I was about to throw something at his swimming pool, as I knew that the police would do nothing to upset a millionaire, so I had to endure until 4 AM.
Those are the two times I remember well, but there were other times.

Bolsonaro has big problems. 2 health ministers resigned and the position is still vacant. Justice Minister
Moro also is out and I wonder if the Economic Minister is next. There麓s a plan to impeach him due to his COVID-19 mismanagement and obstruction of justice with the Federal Police due a case of his 2 sons.

If the leaders pick a a person for advice, that person should have top qualifications for that office.
All elected and appointed officials, should work together. Listen to the facts and advisers and work on a plan together. Yes there will be disagreements but dividing a country is not correct.
Heads of states should be leaders and diplomates.
I believe individuals should also take responsibility. Hey you do not want to listen, fine, but respect other's rights.
