About this image
Thanks for the comments to my previous post, I was too busy and psychologically tried to answer and I apologize for this.
The lockdown of Italy has started for more than a week, I don't know I'm losing the notion of time. In my country, people die more and more, we have largely broken through the two thousand deaths. So many victims do not surprise me much, it is now obvious, even if no one dares to mention it for political reasons, that the data provided by China on the epidemic have always been clearly false, the deaths there must be enormously more than reported. WHO has lied criminally about the real extent of the catastrophe. Hospitals in the regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna are collapsing, protections such as masks are scarce, and health workers already tried by continuous work end up getting infected. My region, Piedmont still holds, although the contagion is doubling every day. I have chosen to quit my job and declare myself sick, continuing to go to work in a factory that produces luxury car tires, it no longer makes sense in this situation. My colleagues largely are unaware of how dangerous the virus is, they accept to work without adequate means of protection, exposing themselves to contagion, in the name of the profit that my company still hopes to make on their skin, collecting the crumbs before the inevitable end.
The virus acts as a sort of desiccant, kills society from the inside, makes social and economic relations impossible, transforms the neighbor into a probable source of contagion. A good part of the infected are asymptomatic, the virus survives for days on the surfaces, it can infect the soles of shoes, feces and urine. The only safe place, the only sanctuary is your home and you must do everything to defend it, either you learn to do it or you end up infected. Disinfecting becomes a job and this is only the beginning, difficult to imagine what it will be like in a few months.
Lockdown is the only way to reduce infections and allow hospitals to cope with the impact and keep a minimum of essential services active. It risks not working, because huge economic and material resources are needed, but only China actually has this potential. Due to the relocation of production, no nation today has the ability to produce enough protection, medicines, food to supply all the actors who have to maintain the services and therefore the whole society waiting for a miraculous vaccine.
Everyone must find the strength within himself, living the day, carrying on the doubt of being already infected, and even a hobby in this home captivity can be a help.

I hope you are fine according to the circumstances.
Yes, this virus has pretty much the whole world under control. Unfortunately, Italy was the most betrayed of the European countries. We can clearly feel the effects as well. Various hygiene items are very scarce or not at all anymore. My personal opinion of the virus is a little different from what the press reports. I can't say that here, there could be problems. But no matter, we will get this epidemic under control like the many others before. It's just sad that so many people have to die from it.
Stay healthy my friend, greetings from Thuringia in Germany.
The mortality and lethality in Germany is very low, I don't know why this is so, but we hope that the situation will remain this way. It could depend on seasonal temperatures, Northern Italy is located on the same temperate climate zone as Wuhan and pollution is also a lot here. If this is the case in northern Europe, things will get worse because the climate zone that currently affects Italy will move north. Southern Italy seems less affected, this could also depend on the higher temperatures of those regions. But they are theories and therefore only time can tell if the virus will weaken with the arrival of summer where temperature and humidity could slow it down.
I would not be so optimistic that I can control it, and unfortunately our globalist civilization has never faced a pandemic like this, we are not prepared and the human and economic costs will be devastating. But let's not give up hope.
Look after yourself and protect your loved ones. Thanks for the message dear friend.
Thanks for the comment and your support.
Your choice with your employees is very wise and you are right to take care of them. This brought you honor.
Humanity has faced epidemics and misfortunes many times already, we have had a much luckier life than others, we must accept what fate brings us, we use this time to improve ourselves and find a deeper meaning in our life. When all this nightmare ends, there will be plenty to do.
Thank you dear for the comment and only use paracetomol, it seems that other antipyretics and anti-inflammatories favor infection.
Support and greetings from the Lowlands!
I believe that behind the immunity of flock as a strategy there is actually the cynical intention of keeping the nation's economic system functioning at the expense of the citizens. Of course, Lockdown can potentially save more lives but it devastates the economic system. The real question, however, is that all of this is brought into play because science is not that system of domination of nature that we believed to have developed.
Personally, I agree that it is better to try to avoid getting infected, especially after seeing here pictures of military trucks in a row that take away the coffins, because the crematory ovens are saturated. Hopefully the Netherlands will be spared from scenes like these.
I return support to your country, hoping that things will go much better than with us.
As for me, there are decisions that need to be taken, if mine were a necessary job for my nation, I would continue to do it, but making luxury car tires is sacrificing for nothing. but I did well, just today it turned out that there is a second infected person in my hospital who is in the hospital. My family members have priority. Thanks for the good wishes to my mother, she is quite run down, but she has an incredible resilience.
Thank you very much for the comment, we hope that other countries will not have to endure this disaster.
My best wishes for these dark days.
Our community of gamers can be very glad about this home-hobby. So we have more time to play, to be creative when we are locked at home. A nice and positive side aspect
Here in Germany we have today more than 10 000 infected and I fear, we are only some days behind Italy and then the number of death people will increase rapidly ...
Stay save and I hope, to see your wonderful ladies more often here in the next time
Germany seems to be the nation with the best health system apparently, at least for you this is a consolation. However, if the virus is influenced by temperature, the near future could make it more active especially in northern Europe, it is a theory, I do not want to wish anyone badly of course. We hope that spring and then summer will reduce its activity.
I've always been a loner, and so it doesn't change much for me, but I'm also the one who has to leave the house to buy food, to visit my poor elderly mother. In short, I have a lot to do. I hope I don't get infected. Going out of necessity often puts me in touch with reality and how things are getting worse.
At least I will have time to go back to do some shots even if I have to put my installation of Skyrim in full overload of mods.
I hope that Germany is spared somehow by this scourge, lethality seems much lower for you and the greater availability of places in hospitals should reduce the impact. You are a strong and powerful nation, you are a panzer, you will make it. For us it is ruin, we hope to find, as in the past, the strength to recover from this tragedy.
Thank you very much for your comments deae friend.
I am not as concerned about the virus next year. The flu, and its many variations, is already here as are many other viruses. Those who recover will be okay and hopefully with time a vaccine will be made. While it seems to be a very high price to pay (the lock downs) hopefully it will pay off in the end by helping hospitals to cope.
Can only take things day by day and and do what one can to get through it. Wishing you strength in your trial dear friend.
As for the peak, few real predictions can be made, but above all being a pandemic the virus can always return coming from a foreign country. The bad news concerns the fact that the so-called healed, sometimes they are not, but must be quarantined for at least 15 days because sometimes they return infectious ... The lockdown is the only way to counteract the infection, but the problem is that there are always idiots who behave irresponsibly, or worse infected in quarantine who leave the house infecting others, also there are many desperate and homeless, who have no refuge. There are a lot of problems and flaws that still allow the virus to spread, albeit in a reduced way. We are also not talking about the economic collapse. In short, sometimes I would like some good news ...
But at least I seem to have made the right choice, staying home from work (which at the moment has no social utility) allows me at least to take care of my family and protect it. I can't do anything else. My company is in fact stopping production because workers are getting sick.
it's hell, but we hope to get out of it, my friend.
Stay at home and disinfect everything that enters the house. If we are lucky and careful, perhaps we may be able to avoid contagion.
Thanks for the commets dear friend. :)
