I’m sure the notoriety that comes from hosting a party so epic the mayor holds a news conference about it will lead to a dramatic uptick in rule-following.

No, but it will lead to a dramatic up tick in property owners telling party hosts to take their money and get lost, which is the point.

When working with children, losing ones temper is a great way to show them that they have “won”.

The point is clear; whether this action will advance public health goals is not.

A simple fine or some other existing punishment would have sufficed. The legal system has had the tools to deal with rule breakers for centuries already.

Cutting off water and electricity for order violations sets a very bad precedent, and is highly irresponsible. I'm shocked that it's even legal to do so.

Can we get a recap of the Corona figures broken down by country just for a laugh?

I get the impression some countries aren't taking this as seriously as others.

Why people would voluntarily go to large crowded gatherings at this time is beyond me

Is it even legal?
