Lebanon has imposed 24/7 curfew. You read that right: you are not allowed to leave your home at all, for almost any reason. Even supermarkets are delivery only.

Of course, there isn't enough delivery capacity to feed everyone, and a huge % of the population has no way to order online:

"The United Nations has said that now over 50 per cent of the population live under the poverty line, meaning they live off just a few dollars a day."

@pete kinda surprised, with their mild winter weather they can keep windows open at restaurants and such, unlike say Sweden

@121 That might very well be the problem: looks like they successfully crushed the curve to ~zero with aggressive lockdown early on, and now they're paying the price of having low levels of herd immunity.

@pete interestingly. Greece looks very different even though geographically and lifestyle similar
