Ash Wednesday this century so far could be up to 2 weeks later than this year, Feb 26, and still prior but close to dates of reality checks in Brazil based on global prevalence. This earlier party window may have spared hundreds of deaths that coulda been.

As far as I know, Broken Arrow will not veto it, as it is politically expedient to appear to support citizens over the short term leading up to Fall elections, should they proceed.

You seem to be more ‘on the ground’ on this than anyone else here. Yes it appears Senate passed the measure in a remote vote very very recently. Perhaps this source (attached) is useful here. Note: my Boytoy account is glitchy and I cannot consistently log in.

A pipe dream superimposed on my dreams of laying pipe ...

Hx reality test: Spanish flu epidemic, 1st wave Spring 1918, 2nd wave November 1918 the greatest mortality rate, 3rd wave late winter 1919. Hx reality test: Great Depression Hx reality test: AIDS Hx reality test: SARS, MERS One must hope for a vaccine, prior to Carnival 2021, prior to any future, over +/- Sampa Pride ... pray for inoculation over herd immunity.

BTW this may be the manner in which Prez Vacuumbag-Pocketfart is subtly dialling back his denial rhetoric. Honest to Gawd, one should write a CMBYN parody of him and his political doppelgänger Drumpf. Açai for Orange Julius ... the peach would fade into mug background, presenting a cinematographic challenge (as if there were not others).

Monthly benefit 60% of min wage approved for “informal workers”. This may be of interest to sauna staff. GdePs? ... not sure. Gogos? ... perhaps more of an edge than trade. The individual amount is 600 reais. Delivery of package timeline uncertain. Whether this is based on income tax footprints or is more of a social welfare benefit is unclear. In Canada, such aid is predicated on previous declared income, including a sliding scale of benefit (up to a max ceiling) amount linked to pay amount. In other words, tax return of 2018 or 2019, and/or formal recent statements from employer or one’s own formal tracking of income prior to Spring tax return ( now deferred). In Brazil, employment is loosely stratified as wage/salary worker, formal entrepreneurship, and informal entrepreneurship. Where the aid package term “informal” fits here is uncertain. It may be a bit lost in translation. I hope that venue staff and drag MCs are the most eligible. They have never been able to earn vast amounts under the radar and have typically lived month to month, in contrast to ‘it’s like there is no tomorrow’.

I am glad we crossed paths a little here, somewhat in the same boat with a fellow BT gringo kinda helped take the edge off a bit of worry and a heck of a lot of inconvenience and expense.

I think a bannner ad was up for today, now removed

The only media commentators about Lagoa’s flimsy statement ...

Lucky, you can determine most club openings or not by their regular Instagram bannner ads. And just read what is already posted. This is going in circles and should be most relevant to those on the board that travel here.

Or you can decide if you have older people in your life to protect from yourself, regardless of your own age and degree of health robustness.

see my post from Lagoa thread cannot copy it here ... cancel travel plans BRZ

Michelin starred Maní just cancelled my lunch rez with a friend SP ... Government now requesting citizens avoid social contact and try to stay home

Panama closed borders but I still cannot determine if Copa transfers Tocumen airside are allowed. I do have a price-locked reservation SP to Montreal, so I want to assume the connection is green-lit, but anything can happen.

Minute for minute, my domestic cleaning provider here is greedier.

To clarify, is not the younger dude in the photos above. My trick last night 27.

Please god, he is well and available once the dust, I hope, settles following peak of pandemic. My gym back home shuttered. Have to find an improvised way to stay fit to later, with luck, withstand this guy’s jackhammer approach to my arse.

Lagoa very underattended but I don’t know how typical that was for a Monday. At 21:00, about 5+5. Stunned to see a guy that took my breath away as I arrived 18:15 ... drinks and 2 hours extended suite intimacy. Best casual sex of my life, let alone 5 years visiting Brazil. Nothing safe off the table. Most beautiful built sexy charismatic man (handsome physique competitor) who ever wrapped his mouth and tight candy-flave hole around my cock. And no attitude. Took great direction, bottoming with gusto but also able to play dominant military cop teaching me a lesson for staring at him in the shower. I love this dude. Has redefined versa as well as expectations standards here for me.

Play by ear is certainly OK, hope springs eternal. Airbnb is refunding even strict cancellation tier in Brazil. Pay attention to their window of dates. Similarly, airlines are flex now but may eventually expect folks to use common sense rather than rescue them from committed expenditures ... again, the allowances are date-bookended.

In other words, loosely translated ... we at 202 heartily accept your club fees and overall patronage, you can only transmit Covid19 if overtly symptomatic, do not share glasses or other personal objects, cocks and other body parts are exempt from ‘personal object’ classification ... it is only, for example, distal saliva say on a shared straw that poses a risk, we hope for a speedy recovery if you get this run-of-the-mill flu that will not hurt your older loved ones when infected, and if you are a beloved gringo tourist it is worth coming to Brazil for sauna fun and sex though your country may have no means to mitigate more severe circumstances that befall you ... dearest clients, on a scale of sinus cold to 9/11, this is a skinned knee ... why make such a big deal of it .. . You are not in China or Italy here ... listen to your ex-GdeP current broker ersatz epidemiologist/virologist. ——/ Stupid is stupid, ignorance is terrifying. Another example:

State Governor Witzel has declared a state of emergency. Bolsonaro is in bull-headed full-on psycho-denial mode. That is going on. We are trying to get out of the country at great expense and vacay sacrifice, so the idea of friends on the Board here trying to get in to take our spots is madness. Pay attention to USA and UK ‘foreign office’ advisories. Many LatinAmer countries shutting borders. Brazil is snubbing the action recommendations that are driving other nations, for now. Politics trumping science. A familiar theme. Your travel medical is likely nullified by insurance carrier. The number of cases here can spiral quickly in a state of denial. The microcosm of saunas is not a great indicator, as many guys are under-educated and just going to work like everybody else ... but that should drop off progressively more than the early indicators as described here already. Sorry I cannot link the full piece ... look it up, and other related news articles. Rodolfo (SP) is in no position to integrate all the info and act accordingly. Beware ‘conflict of interest’ If you care for my opinion ... take it or leave it ... do not come to Brazil. I would feel terrible if I had not admonished you and you ended up in a bad situation.

A lot of what might develop beyond current 7-day recommended lay low at home in BRZ upon arrival from anywhere else hinges on your departure location and I do not mind read or have time to scan the Board here for your home base. NZ maybe? I would say to soon expect entry restrictions from Europe, UK, Asia, and developing hotspots including USA. Brazil will not be iconoclastic on this issue and will follow, albeit lagging, cues from other nations battening down the hatches. Why don’t you follow your nation’s current advisories? You also have to return there or be repatriated as a possible casualty. All you have to do is search travel restrictions and isolation martial law by country as they are updated daily on many sites. Take your pick. Why ask here? I say ... The opinions are very divergent and would not be very helpful overall as a whole. And the USA is not a model of leadership ... sorry! But here is my 2 cents. I don’t care if it helps or not or coheres with other points of view: stay home or go home, ET. Also, travel medical insurance corps are restricting coverage for illness expenses occurred from Covid19 abroad, following info broadly disseminated about the risks. It is essentially like a pre-existing condition. I remain eligible due to arriving here earlier in the trajectory, but there is a time limit for date of emergency onset. I’ll be long gone before then. I am paying as much to get out within 10 days as it cost to get here and expense the visit. If it’s in global remission in a week? So sue me.

The house trade is certainly sufficient for my rather moderate needs (frequency) and there have been instances of my eyes ecstatically (sp?) rolling back into their orbital cavities.

Alas alack, not what is loosely translated as a ‘program kid’. Sometimes that is almost reassuring. I am not generally keen on the spoils of pristine perfection and it can be really enjoyable to just have a few flirty but essentially platonic moments. Another beautiful guy, Baiano, is hilarious to banter with online.
