Diary bullet n. 6
According to the latest news in Italy the total number of deceased people for coronavirus has reached today the number of 3405.
The situation is still difficult and a lot of people, expecially in the big cities in the south of Italy, have not understand the critical situation in which we are falling yet. The only way we presently have to control the contagion is to stay at home: on the contrary to many people are still going around for a walk or sport outdoor. For this reason there is the possibility that the government will decide to involve soldiers, together with the police, in order to force people to respect the these norms.
We continue to stay at home. Our contacts are maintaned by phone, computer, skype, whatsapp and so on. We have been told to go out only in case of extreme need and when buying food becomes extremely necessary. Food delivery at home is still working however.
At the moment it is not possible to foresee any kind of end of this tunnel

Diary bullettin n. 5
After 13 days, we keep on staying at home. Probably this measure, according to the last news, will continue till april 3 or maybe longer.
Today 2978 persons died. 475 only today.
The problem is that at the moment there's no solution to this problem, no vaccine. How and when will we see the end of all this?

Diary bullettin n. 4
Yesterday I have decided not to use the computer. I have many works to do outdoor in the country. This is the reason why I have not written anything here.
The situation is not changed. I have seen on TV that almost 7000 persons in Italy have been charged because going around without any reasonable reasons. We have been told that the only way we have to limit the contagion is to stay at home as long as possible. We stay at home...
We are lucky enough to live in the country. So we spend a lot of time outdoor both working via computer and doing farm works. But I can understand that people in large cities live these moments with more difficulties than people in the countryside or in rural areas.
News are rather depressing. The number of people involved in the coronavisus contagion is very high (20603): 1809 persons died from the begininng of the emergency.
We are in good health and fortunately we don't need any help. At the moment. We have food, fresh water, wood and gas for the healing, hot water and for cooking: the food shop near here is working regularly. Other shops have been closed in particular bars, restaurants, pubs.
I spend my free time playing guitar: blues music is a good medicine in situations like these
The weather is particularly fine. It seems that spring is about to arrive: this helps us to better deal with this surreal period of our lives.

Diary bullettin n. 3
I have to remind that we, like many other italians, started our quarantine period last friday: march 6th. The government has announced that this period will last till the beginning of april. We will respect these indications even if not very used to stay blocked at home in this way.
At the moment we have no particular needs or problems. Everything seems to be ok. Fortunately we are in good health because medical care is provided only in case of urgent need.
Long queues outside the shops only to maintain health precautions. For safety reasons it takes long time to buy even few things. Nonetheless shelves are full. No shortages at all.
We spend our time working via web, reading a lot of books, doing farm works and in the garden, watching movies through netflix only in the evening... in the night...ok....
As I have already written, I actually prefer not to be overloaded by information and silly posts in facebook. There's a lot of rubbish in many tv shows and in facebook. We do not need further troubles. Just official news in the evening: that's all.
I have to admit that the situation is rather depressive: but we are doing our job and duty. Everything will turn ok.
The only really strange thing for me is watching commercials on TV. They are likely to belong to a very distant past, a different age, a different world. TV advs seem rather ridiculous...

Diary-bulletin n. 1
I have left this blog rather not used for a long time. Now I have decided to use it to tell and share what is going on here in Italy.
Yesterday night, the Prime Minister Mr Giuseppe Conte announced severe and strict measures for the italian people in order to limit the possibilities to spread the the coronavirus contagion between and among individuals.
All the commercial activities has been closed except for the necessary ones: food, important industries, technical assistance, healt services, etc...
Many shops and mall have been closed.
We have been highly recommended not to leave our homes: only in case of extremely important work needs, food shopping, health needs. In other cases, we must stay at home. If necessary to get out, we have to fill and sign a document in which one declare the reasons of his/her journey. Police can verify if the declaration is true or not. Otherwise one can be arrested for having committed a crime.
Me, my wife and my son live in a small farm house in a village near Viterbo, about 100 km north of Rome. Me and my wife work in Rome as technologists: at present we are doing our work via smart working at home. My son is completing his university degree in Rome: yet all universities in Italy (as well as all kind of schools) have been closed. Many university lesson are carried out via skype.
We are in good health and we do not require any support.
Hospitals are in a severe crisis. A greater part of health assistance is devoted to people affected with coronavirus. It's extremely difficult to have health support: only for critical needs. For this reason it is important not only to avoid the coronavirus contagion but also to any kind of other health trouble. Assitance is however granted for all and for free. All the medical staff in Italy is doing a great job.
Two days ago I required some dental aid, but the dentist told that, being my problem not so urgent, any medical intervention must be avoided: in case for example of complications I cannot be moved to tha hospital. So no dental care. I can resist, I must resist. I've got no choice.
The situation in general is quite complex, very strange, unusual but it is likely to be under control. We cannot leave our village. My wife drive once a day to Viterbo (about 10 km) to help his 89 years old father after having filled and signed the above mentioned document.
Towns and cities are almost desert. Even here, just few people are around. Also making a short walk here in the countryside is not allowed. It has been recommended not to meet other people or stay at a distance of 1m. Any kind of crowd is not permitted.
Fortunately we live in the countryside and we have space enough to stay outdoor.
It is possible to enter a supermarket or a food shop just in a limited number of people at given times. One can stay in a queue outside keeping the distances: when a certain number of customers leave the shop, it possible to enter in. Private policemen are checking and montoring the respect of the rules.
Food is completely available as usual. Agriculture, food industry and distribution are working well. No shortages at the moment. The same for medicines. It is impossible to find any kind of mask.
No cars in the streets. Only trucks for necessary goods.
Home delivery is allowed. We are receiving certains goods thanks to amazon or other kind of home delivery. For example, two days ago I have finished the ink cartridges for my printer (consider it is necessary also to print the certificate to circulate for any need). I bought them through amazon: they should be delivered in a short time. The carrier (wearing a mask) leaves the box at the beginning of the road in order to avoid any contact...
Let's see what will happen tomorrow....
