this so far is a really bad day and I am feeling quite down and depressed.
Issue n 1. The government decided to use the army to help enforce the lockdown restrictions. This means wherever you go you will find police, carabinieri and army officers to question anything you do including a walk around the block. I don’t know about you but to me army in the streets with police powers brings back memories which are not so pleasant. Anyone old enough to remember Chile, for example? And Chile had a Prime Minister far superior to the current Italian PM. Not counting on the rest of the Italian government. The head of the Democratic Party is now in quarantine as he discovered a couple of days ago that he contracted the virus. The head of the other coalition party is more or less useless, his only previous professional experience being that of a steward in the Naples football stadium. I remember Chile. And the army on the streets scares me. Especially now that the popular consensus is that it is ok and necessary to enforce the lockdown measures.
Issue n 2. please read the attached thread. Then draw your considerations https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1237142891077697538.html
Issue n 3. I have children in the UK. Please watch the following keeping in mind that the UK is now the only country in the world not adhering to the WHO suggested guidelines. https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1238238415163924482?s=21
Issue n 4. Public parks are now shut in Milan and if you are found more than one block away from your home you are fined and will eventually go to prison.
I think it is enough for today. So far I managed to shower, cook and eat one meal. I might go to the rubbish bins later. I feel very very disturbed by all of the above.
