Greece: Citizens Required to Text Authorities Before Leaving Home

Are we okay with our society turning into this kind of ultra-police state?

Does anyone on earth actually believe that the government is doing this because they love us, and are really concerned about our health?

Report Door:

Under a second nationwide coronavirus lockdown in Greece, people will need to text authorities if they want to leave their homes.

The lockdown will start at daybreak Saturday and last until the end of the month. With infections surging across the country, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he acted before patients overwhelm hospitals.

“We must stop this wave,” Mitsotakis said Thursday. “I chose once again to take drastic measures sooner rather than later.”

As part of the lockdown, all retail stores except those selling essential items such as food, medication and fuel will be closed.

Travel inside the country will be severely restricted.

People will only be allowed to leave their homes for work, physical exercise or medical reasons and only after sending a text message to authorities.

In the texts to the five-digit number, people will have to provide their name, address and the reason why they need to leave their home.

Permissible reasons also include taking children to school, taking a pet for a walk and visiting people who need assistance, according to Sky News.

When people venture out, they will be required to carry identification and a form detailing their reason for leaving home if they aren’t able to text.

Health authorities in Greece recorded 2,556 new coronavirus cases and a record 34 deaths on Saturday.

During the pandemic, the country has had 54,809 confirmed cases and 749 deaths.

Those are mostly fake deaths, of course. Anyone who dies gets labeled a coronavirus death, all across the Western world.

But imagine if they were real: are 749 deaths from the flu a good reason to completely destroy your country?
