New protests loom as Europeans tire of virus restrictions

MILAN -- Italy braced Tuesday for more protests in cities nationwide against virus-fighting measures like regional curfews, evening shutdowns for restaurants and bars and the closures of gyms, pools and theatres -- a sign of the growing discontent across Europe with renewed coronavirus restrictions.

Nightly curfews have been implemented in French cities and in Spain, and restaurants and bars in Italy must close at 6 p.m. Schools have been closed in Northern Ireland and the Czech Republic. German officials have ordered de-facto lockdowns in some areas near the Austrian border and new mask-wearing requirements are popping up weekly across the continent, including a nationwide requirement in Russia.

In Britain, anger and frustration at the government's uneven handling of the pandemic has erupted into a political crisis over the issue of hungry children. The Conservative government is under huge pressure to keep giving free school lunches to children from lower-income families when schools close during the current midterm break and the Christmas holidays.

Taxi drivers in Turin occupied a central square, restaurant owners banged pots and pans in front of the prefect's office in Cremona, hundreds marched in Treviso, north of Venice, and young people blocked traffic and threw firecrackers in Viareggio on the Tuscan coast. Italy, the first Western country caught up in the pandemic, has seen as many as 20,000 new cases a day in the resurgence. Some 13,000 COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized -- up from summertime lows in the hundreds -- and nearly 1,300 ICU beds are occupied.

In Spain, the Canary Islands was seeking to pass a law demanding that visitors arrive at the popular archipelago off northwest Africa with proof of a negative COVID-19 test.

Covid thanks you for these generous offerings.

this can't go on forever.

Good for them it is obvious the restrictions don’t work and the virus is not dangerous to most. Enough of this crap.

There is hope!

same gonna happen here..

I understand the peoples wants, needs but there is going to be a day of reckoning and its coming faster than people realize. The hospitals will have no beds, no rooms, and hallways lined with stretchers. Doctors and nurses overwhelmed and burnt out. Then what happens.

Good!! Rise up

Wait till Trump gets relected game over 🤣🤣🤣🤣👎🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Because they know they’ve been lied too...

Duh!! Cuz lockdowns don’t work!! Sweden was the only country that acted with common sense

👍 👍 restrictions are as uselss as the people who put them in place and as useless as the people who support them.

This is what will stop lock downs all over the world. For those who do not want to assume reasonable and customary risks of living in 2020, which are less than 2010, and equal to 2018, can take adequate precautions to meet own needs.

Could it possibly be because this BS does not work at all?

Nice play on words Freedom

Yea because if it really worked the first time, their would be no need for a second! Its all about CONTROL and INVENTORY. The people are awakening!

MeToo showed the world women have no problem lying about rape or sexual assault to get them what they want. BLM is a hate group. MeToo is fake, they choose which victims they care about based on the vicitms political affiliation. All BULLSHITE.
