Panama to prohibit movement during coronavirus outbreak based on gender

[Baitball Blogger]

No idea what is going on here.

Panama is now trying to get its residents to self-quarantine during the coronavirus outbreak by only permitting certain genders to go outside on different days of the week.

Starting tomorrow, the Central American country is asking only men to visit grocery stores and other businesses on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will be reserved for women, the AFP reports. On Sundays, everyone is being asked to stay indoors – and any trips outside during the week are advised to be for two hours max.

"This absolute quarantine is for nothing more than to save your life," security minister Juan Pino said Monday as Panama’s government announced the new measures.

1. Sounds strange

My Dh would almost volunteer to go grocery shopping at this point, just to get out of the house. Still, it’s not about gender it’s about numbers and risk.

Men shouldn’t be out if they’re higher risk. Women shouldn’t be out if they’re higher risk. Days of the week don’t matter.

2. It's a simple way to cut the number of

people out and about in half. Also means at least one person in each household can be out and about. Pretty clever actually.
