Well, what else could she do?
Let her husband pee/defecate in the apartment?

They reportedly told police that they were following the rule for pets.

Husband on leash breached Quebec's Covid curfew


A couple in Canada have been fined for breaking Covid curfew rules after the woman was caught "walking" her husband on a leash, according to local media.

The woman reportedly told police that she was just out "walking her dog" near their home in the city of Sherbrooke, in Quebec province.

On Saturday the province imposed a nightly curfew between 20:00 and 05:00.

Walking a dog close to home is one of the only acceptable reasons to be outside between those times.

The pair were spotted by police at around 9pm on Saturday night, just a short while after the new rules came into effect.

They reportedly told police that they were following the rule for pets. Isabelle Gendron, of the Sherbrooke Police Department, told the local newspaper La Tribune the couple "did not co-operate with the police at all".

They were each fined CA$1,546 ($1,212; £893).

Police across Quebec issued 750 tickets for violations during the first weekend of the curfew.

Canada has seen a recent surge in Covid-19 infections, nearing 670,000 total cases since the pandemic began.

On Monday Quebec's premier François Legault called on residents to respect social distancing rules, saying "I know it's difficult, but Quebeckers are able to work as a team when necessary."

He warned that the situation in the province's largest city Montreal was "really critical" and said hospitals were nearing the point where they would not be able to treat all patients.

Meanwhile the 2nd representative, Pramila Jayapal, has been tested positive for CoViD-19,
after during the Capitol attack, she was locked into the safe room together with republicans who refused to wear masks and mocked staffers who offered them masks to wear.

CoViD-19 now has made the jump from humans to other apes.

2 Gorillas in a zoo in San Diego have tested positive for CoViD-19.

Seems like people now also need to take precautions so that other apes (at least those with strong genetic similarity ot humans ... gorillas, bonobos, chimpanzees) get protected from contracting CoViD-19

More Cases... More Deaths... Vaccine delivery too slow and not coordinated... while the president does nothing but whine about twitter and the loss of his golf tournament... in other words, just more of the same.

Belgium is also on the way up again... Hooray for all those ****ers who decided to go and travel during the holidays.

Germany has crossed 40k deaths meanwhile. Daily death numbers are very high currently, peaking at over 1000/day sometimes. In relation to the US with 4000 deaths, but way bigger pop this is very grim. Right now we do still profit from low numbers during the first wave, but cases need to go down fast to avoid the health system overloading.

Fortunately I've not known anyone who has died from Covid (recently), but the case count of people I know who have had it has shot up considerably over/since Christmas.

My parents haven't been impacted, but I fear it is only a matter of time and their local hospitals are now beyond capacity, if it came to it. Local hotels are now being used for beds.

Americans continue to die... 4,180 new deaths reported on Friday. 364,000+ total deaths and still climbing at a disturbing rate.
And our childish President continues to throw temper tantrums, praising domestic terrorists, and doing absolutely nothing about Covid...
Bring on a people who will actually do something.

[Uncle Sparky]

Over 4,000 COVID-19 death per day in the USA. No matter what Biden tries to do, the red states will fight for their right to die of this entirely preventable plague.

Transition Obama > Trump



Transition Trump > Biden

Transition Obama > Trump



Transition Trump > Biden

[-Jrabbit]

And yet, Trump was elected, inaugurated, and has ruled as POTUS without interruption.
And yet, in 4 years, not a single investigation of Obama from Trump and his hand-picked DOJ or lapdog congressional toadies. Imagine that!

You should consider living in the present, Kid.
You should also consider moving back to the fact-based universe.

[Ming]

Obama organized a soft coup against Trump. It's called Obamagate.

Trump organized a HARD coup including an armed attempted take over of Congress
Trump puts people who disagree with him on a "Death List"
Trump also just fires anybody that doesn't kiss his ass
And the list goes on and on...
So as usual, Kid, a lame response.
