Bar in Rome bans all talk of COVID-19

Nov 20 2020 Share

“È vietato parlare di Coronavirus.” 

A bar in Rome has stuck handwritten posters right above their countertops which forbid any and all talk having to do with COVID-19. 

This includes anything from lockdown, cases, epidemiology, virology or anything in between, as the bar manager stated that the management chose to lighten the atmosphere.

Italy has been one of the foremost counties to crumble under the effect of COVID-19 and albeit little, the effects left by this bar may appeal for some courage.

Mexico senate approves bill to legalise weed

Nov 20 2020 Share

The Senate of Mexico has just approved a bill which allows people to carry a maximum of 28 grams of marijuana on them at any time whilst also permitting the growth of as much as four plants. 

Elsewhere, marijuana retailers would be allowed to sell it to adults as long as it complies to laws of psychoactive ingredients. 

The law is awaiting approval by the lower house of Congress before it enters legislation, but if it does, Mexico would become the third country in the world to legalise the drug.
