Greetings from the Lockdown Zone
5 years ago
So, some of you know I'm Italian. Specifically I live in Lombardy, just 25km away from Milan.
My city was only in the yellow zone until last week, then it was part of the provinces put in "orange/red" zone over the weekend. Now the entirety of Italy is considered one big "orange" zone, so we're not supposed to leave the house unless necessary (grocery shopping, health reasons, work).
The situation in the hospitals isn't pretty to say the least, but for once I'm proud of my country's government for not underestimating the situation, even if their execution hasn't been the greatest.
This whole situation won't be nice and people's jobs are at high risk, but if we don't do this now, there'll be only increasingly dire consequences for both businesses and communities, so I'm just hoping it'll pass soon.
Currently I'm not extremely worried, if not for my friends and older relatives that'd be at risk if they caught it, but I trust they'll try to remain as safe as possible.
In general I barely leave my house unless necessary, so nothing really changes for me, aside from not being able to see my partner for a full month and having to be extra careful with my health. Right now, I can only say that I'm absolutely glad I decided to take this year as a gap year.
Hopefully New Horizons will make the next weeks less stressful :')

Comunque si, speriamo davvero che sto schifo finisca il prima possibile...
Più che altro speriamo finisca /bene/ in primis, già ci vedo troppi parallelismi con Plague Inc lol :')
