While Belarus' neighbours impose increasing restrictions on public life to halt the virus' spread, the former Soviet republic is facing the global crisis with a blend of bravado and casual disregard.

MINSK, BELARUS -- When Belarus' president last made a public appearance he wore protective gear, but it wasn't for the coronavirus. Alexander Lukashenko, who derides global concerns over COVID-19 as "mass psychosis," donned a helmet and knee guards to play ice hockey -- at a venue packed with spectators.

The health ministry rejects the idea of restrictions and quarantine; it considers wide-spread testing, treating severe cases of the virus and monitoring those who came in contact with infected people much more effective. "Lukashenko treats the coronavirus as a subordinate," said Tatyana Bykovich, a 46-year-old economist who was one of the few people walking around Minsk in a mask.

Nevertheless, many citizens appear to be taking the epidemic much more seriously than their government is.

Toronto announces stricter measures to enforce physical distancing amid COVID-19 pandemicDr. Eileen de Villa said the order was necessary, as there have been reports that people who were supposed to be in self-isolation had not been following the recommendations Government didn't act until too late despite reports indicating the human to human tx, aerosol for hours, surface survivability for days. When people called for our borders to be shut Trudeau and his lackeys called them xenophobic racists. NOW, 'stricter measures' for citizens.. Still short of this measure; ANYONE WITH SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF COMMON COLD/FLU MUST ALSO BE INSULATED. SOME MAY HAVE COVID BUT THINK IT IS COLD/FLU, so they go out anyway, as we all do with cold. Those who develop temperature may have COVID. Utter and complete draconian nonsense - the numbers don't equal the actions.
