Nearly a month after schools were shut again in Athens, covid19 numbers refuse to fall. Authorities are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ as to why this is happening. Here are some small insights: overpacked public transport with poor enforcement of mask wearing. If the mask is somewhere on your face, that's good enough. On your chin, under your nose, hey but I'm wearing a mask, packed in transport with other workers who either can't work remotely or been threatened with firing when asked to work from home for jobs that are fully PC based

More thoughts on Pikpa and its threatened closure - when a model camp operates surely this model should be taken & replicated. Instead, more than 5 years into this refugee situation with flows continuing, the Greek govt has consistently responded as if they woke up one day -> <- to discover a refugee crisis on their doorstep. It's not enough to say 'Well they have a roof over their heads & food' So do prisoners. Refugees are not criminals, they are exercising their international right to seek a better life & in doing so it costs a society ->

So where do things stand with the evictions of illegal squats in Athens - families & children who were settled in schools & making every effort to integrate were removed without warning & bused to locations far away from their networks in Athens The children, who had been attending Greek schools, were removed from their residences & schools with no warning & no measures to enroll them in other schools. Info I have is that some families were taken from Athens to tents in Corinth
