 Sunday - 15th Lockdown Day

On City Hall Live...

— People, during our isolation we had a total of zero infected with the Coronavirus.  But ten people have Dengue.

So starting tomorrow we will reopen the store only one customer at a time in each establishment.  If possible ask for Delivery.  Mandatory use of mask and gel alcohol for customer consumption.  Trade that you do not respect will be closed.  For pedestrians the first time caught without a mask takes warning, the second pays 10 Sentrias on the spot.  Citizens who do not have any warnings will receive a 10% discount on the property tax of the lowest value property.  When traveling, keep a meter and a half away from people and houses.  Car with open glass follows pedestrian care laws.

Starting tomorrow we will be vaccinating the entire population for the Flu and Yellow Fever.  Health workers will go to the homes.  The application will be made at the gate and they must be received by the resident wearing a mask.  In case of bedridden they will be scheduling a visit.

Tomorrow New School will be with the students of the 3rd year of high school.  The Old School 1st and 2nd year of high school.  The nursery will be with babies from 0 to 2 years old.  Garden School with children aged 3 to 4 years.  The Yellow School will remain closed.  The other students received activities in a letter by the city hall delivery service.

From Tuesday, the urban cleaning agents will enter the backyards, gardens and garages to remove possible outbreaks of dengue.  And every Thursday we will pass the smoke truck.

Although our city is fine.  Meridiana has some cases.  So I will continue to block currencies for another 15 days.  A good Sunday to all!

In the Square...

— People!  — Nestor speaks in the rolled-up newspaper (looking like a megaphone). — I, Nestor of the square, come to tell you that I with Covid.  I'm not feeling anything.  I want to leave my goodbye message here.

Dear people, in these many months I lived in this square with my companion Toto.  The happiest moments.  I remember before when I was in college and the professor told me about the lungs.

I am asthmatic when I lack the air it is very desperate.  I graduated as a cardiologist at the age of 27.  But when I entered the operating room, I had an asthmatic attack.  A friend recommended that I open my own office and leave the hospital.  But I didn't have the money for that.  Another suggested me to request a transfer to a UBS.  I worked at UBS for ten years.  Forty years, without a wife and children I wondered why I came to this world?  That's where I started drinking.  Drink to forget my questions.

I became an alcoholic, I made a medical mistake, I abandoned my career, without money I walked from the capital of the country to here.  Here was the only place I felt at home.  The only place that no one cursed me, asked about my past, or kicked me off a sidewalk.  I am grateful to you for letting me stay.  — Marcos was recording everything from his home window.

On Priest's Live...

— Good afternoon!  I'm doing this live to clarify doubts.  But first I would like to tell Nestor that everything in this life has a solution, just put Christ ahead.  Let's go to the doubt... Priest, are you going to open the church?  The bishop did not authorize the return of face-to-face celebrations.  So I'm going to leave the church open and just come in one at a time to say your prayers.  At the time of celebration the church will be closed.

The next day...

At the city Hall

— Good Morning!  Councilman, what brings you here?

— The works of the Blue School.

— We interrupted due to the pandemic, but today they are back.

— The works are going on schedule.  What is not correct is the budget.  It's overpriced.  Excuse me, sir, but as a councilor I need to open an investigation.

— Go ahead, I also want to know who is responsible for this.
