Foreigners Forced To Do 50 Push-Ups For Not Wearing Masks In This City

Bali authorities made wearing a face mask in public mandatory last year as Indonesia battled a raging Covid-19 outbreak.

Foreigners caught not wearing face masks on the Indonesian resort island of Bali are being subject to an unusual punishment: push-ups. Video footage circulating on social media this week shows tourists in T-shirts and shorts being made to do the exercise in sweltering tropical heat as masked security officials stood over them.

More than 70 people paid a fine of 100,000 rupiah ($7), but about 30 others said they did not have the cash.

Instead, they were ordered to do push-ups.

Those not carrying a mask had to do up to 50, while those who were wearing one improperly were punished with 15.

The Caning Master was off due to Covid? Such a deal!

If you have asthma, and are wearing a mask while doing 50 pushups in 99% humidity/110 degrees F, you are likely to have a SERIOUS attack.

And for some of us, whether we can even DO 50 pushups is an open question.

On the other hand, I would happily pay $7 to not have to wear a mask on my vacation.

I can do half a pushup - the down stroke.

Yeah cuz people huffin and puffin helps..

If the point was really stopping an airborne virus then a strenuous exercise that made one breath harder would not even be suggested. Only if the real point is demanding submission to obvious BS does it make any sense.

$7 plus the bribe to look the other way when you take off the mask.

I walked into an open home that was for sale. I went in without a mask. I was met by two realtor's who grabbed a box of paper masks. I don't know who may have coughed into the box or reached into the box wth their covid dirty hand to pick the fresh one at the bottom.

I said nope and left. Now if I was wanting to buy that house, that was a VERY EXPENSIVE mask they tried to put on my face.

Bee?

[jmacusa]

It never ceases to amaze me how seemingly educated, well off people insist on vacationing in Third World crap holes.

[DUMBGRUNT]

“Bee?”

Could be the Bee, but some things might be beneath the Bee?

It’s not like they were selling seashells on the seashore.
