The police came and arrested them all for a “curfew violation” because it was after 9 PM!?!?! Curfew means you are not allowed to be out. They were in an apartment. Now the government has the idiot crime prevention undersecretary on TV to say that after curfew you can’t be in someone else’s home. You have to be in your home to prevent virus transmission. So, the virus is only dangerous if you are with other people after 9 PM? Up until 8:59 the virus behaves?

It seems like such an overreach. It feels like the police, military, etc. are so accustomed to repressing us that they have lost any criteria. If they were violating a local noise ordinance, fine him for a noise violation. But, curfew violation in your own apartment? What stupidity. If his visitors had realized it was getting late and tried to hurry home, but were caught on the streets, that could qualify as a curfew violation, which is still annoying, but it would have made more sense.
That is crazy! But really, you're allowed to have 4 people over? While you have such harsh restrictions? I would think having 4 people over is higher risk than going outside for a walk.

Ugh, I wish I had the guts to just turn around and snap at the people breathing down your neck at the supermarket "It's REALLY not that hard to keep your distance".
