   @mangeurdenuage Because bars and other night life spots are thought to be major disease spreading points for #COVID-19. By restricting who can be out after 21:00, it is thought that they'll slow the spread.

     @mangeurdenuage Yes, indeed. People need to remember that restrictions temporarily slow the spread, but once those restrictions are eased, the spread speeds up again. I'm pretty sure this was explained in early "flatten the curve" articles.
     
     The end point in either case is the same number of people getting infected, it's just how quickly or slowly that happens.
