Covid - freezing ?

what about freezed The game for a while (no decay. No sojourner).maybe to faisability to connect to ingress (pokemon and harry potter)

at least 3 countries are closed (FR, IT, SP) and nobody is allowed to go out.

so, those who still play right now are dangerous for the community.

    Are you mad? Close the game in the whole world because a few countries are lock down?

    There is plenty of places that are taking actions to prevent the epidemic without a dictatorship and imprisoning people at home.

    The countries that have enacted curfews don't do so because of authoritarian governments, but because this is necessary to prevent fast spreading of the virus in these countries.

    I'm still not in favour of shutting down ingress.

    • There are countries where past government measures were successful, so curfews have been lifted
    • There are countries that don't have many cases, so that drastic measures are not necessary
    • Playing ingress on your own isn't actually problematic as long as you don't meet with other people and avoid touching surfaces. Even in Germany where there is not yet a curfew but already drastic measures, doctors and the media actually encourage people to do outside sports to remain fit as long as you do it on your own. When countries introduce curfews they don't do so because people moving around on their own cause a problem, but only because this seems to be the only way to stop people from meeting in groups and visiting each other. As far as I heard from friends in France and read on the news, going for a walk on your own is still allowed in France as long as you carry a paper where you specify your route and sign that you are not meeting with other people.

    I think it's a less desirable option than free cubes. Free cubes will at least keep people engaged with the app.
