October 22, 2020 by drbyos

About fifty restaurateurs in the afternoon met under the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia to ask the policy to meet the sector, guarantee employment and not allow the business to fail

“The curfew at 11 pm it is death. “This was claimed by about fifty Lombard restaurateurs who met in the afternoon under the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia to ask the policy to meet the sector, guarantee employment and not allow the business to fail during the ‘Coronavirus emergency (ALL UPDATES LIVE – CONTACT MAPS AND GRAPHS – THE SITUATION IN LOMBARDY IT’S AT MILANO).

One of the protesters was fined during the sit-in on May 6

Among the demonstrators there is also Paolo Polli, one of the demonstrators fined during the sit-in on May 6 at the Arco della Pace. Thursday evening at 11 pm, when the curfew should take place, he intends to go and protest with other colleagues at Palazzo Marino and in the Lombardy Region. “Closing at 11pm and not at midnight makes no sense – declares Polli – it’s just a way not to reimburse restaurateurs, while they should patrol and control the nightlife, letting the economy go on”.

On 22 October protest in San Babila

Alfredo Zini of the Al Tronco restaurant, coordinator of other events in the Ho.re.ca sector, instead made an appointment on Thursday 22 October at 11.30 in Piazza San Babila, explaining that “if an ordinance is issued that prohibits going out, it is impossible for us to demonstrate at 23 “. Zini, together with his colleagues, presented the requests of the sector to the regional councilor Gianmarco Senna of the Lega, who reached the demonstrators under Palazzo Lombardia explaining that it is time to “reconcile the economic and health situations”.

“The curfew at 11pm – says Zini – is devastating, at 10pm we will have to send the customers away, essentially losing the 9.30pm shift, with a further reduction in turnover. Already with the last Dpcm a flurry of cancellations arrived, not we can put a family of eight living together at two different tables and now we fear that the curfew at 11pm has an additional psychological deterrent effect “.

Despite the Covid and the withdrawals, the Z Event is maintained

October 17, 2020 by drbyos

Update 12h00:

The streamer MisterMV, of which a member of the entourage is virus positive, has also announced his withdrawal from the event.

Article original:

Planned October 16, 17 and 18, 2020, the 50 hours of live streaming for Amnesty International will be maintained. The organizer and creator of the French event, Zerator, announced on his Twitter last night that the Z Event 2020 would still take place despite some calls for cancellation, and some withdrawals.

An announcement while for a few days, the flagship streamers of the event follow one another to announce their withdrawals, one after the other, following Covid-19 tests.

Doigby announced to withdraw “following the situation which becomes more and more alarming in France”. Squeezie has meanwhile mentioned several contact cases, and cancels his visit pending the results of his test.

And Kameto announced that he had passed his test and was negative, Locklear and Mickalow preferred not to take any risk and cancel their participations.

All 3 were alongside Doigby and Squeezie at an event on NRJ with Flober a few days ago. Squeezie regretted not having worn a mask around and during this gathering, despite the risks.

I tell you that unfortunately I will not participate in this Zevent as a precaution. My entourage includes people at risk and the situation is worsening greatly in Paris.

I’m not comfortable so I prefer to play it safe, good luck to the friends of Zevent?

— Mickalow (@Mickalow) October 13, 2020

Given the evolution of the health situation, it is reluctantly that I choose to cancel my participation in ZEvent.
Having an entourage at risk, I prefer to abstain for my relatives and me

I’m sure this year’s contestants will tear it all up ??

— Locklear (@Lockl34r) October 13, 2020

In the end, despite these withdrawals from the fifty or so participating streamers, the event was therefore maintained last night. We should always count on Alphacast, Jeel, Xari, Sardoche, Kenny, DominGo or even Fred from JDG.

The little weekly PCR test that fills the nostrils?

– PA? (@Sunday) October 13, 2020

Not Covided finally so I will be well at the Zevent. We will be able to play Hitman let’s go.

– Xari (@Xari_) October 14, 2020

This event should be very special, with very restrictive measures. Participants will be confined for 50 hours in a healthy bubble at the hotel, and no participant will be able to enter without having shown a negative test and having submitted to the control measures.

Despite the disclaimers, Zerator was confident:

The first “Avengers” event gathered 16 people. You can imagine that having 45 streamers motivated for this cause motivates us just as much. (…) From the first euro, it is a success. Going over large amounts is always positive, but that is not the point.

And you, do you understand this decision to maintain the event despite the current situation and the president’s announcements last night, instituted a curfew in several large metropolitan areas in France?

NB: As for the Wankil Corp, still not invited, the withdrawal is also in order.

You will certainly have guessed it with the evolution of COVID in recent days, and with relatives at risk, I unfortunately have to cancel my visit to McDonald’s Porte de Bagnolet tonight, I am not hungry enough and it is too late.
Sorry to those waiting for me there …
