Not good for the economy
Everyone already has an acquaintance who is a covidos
Frankl Edina, who lives in the small town of Renate near Milan in Lombardy, tells the Index. The province of Lombardy has been classified as a red zone, where the measures will be the strictest.
He said the locals are feeling tense: In the spring, they have already experienced the hardships of restrictions that they overlooked like a hump on the back. Now there is no panic in spring, the Italians are simply fed up, they want to end it. Schools and restaurants close, life stops again. The virus spreads unstoppably. Edina’s partner works in a bank, three of her five colleagues are viral.
Epidemiological restrictions are destroying the Italian way of life
Roman freelance journalist Guilia Cerino points out, adding that this depresses Italians.
Remember that restrictions have a negative impact on the economy. Shops can operate on a limited basis and, in addition to the economy, the Italian way of life is overshadowed by the fact that restaurants, bars and cafes are forced to close. Among other things, caterers don’t understand why the virus is more dangerous between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. than during the day, when takeout is at least working.
The journalist confirms: it is not enough for merchants to close, they also have to pay taxes, and the authorities ask for a tax advance for 2021. Cerino said there were problems in Italy’s financial system even before the coronavirus, but the epidemic magnified them .
Even the world champion has a lot
Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Calabria. These are the four Italian provinces where an all-day curfew will be introduced from Friday. Liguria, the Italian Riviera, Genoa and its surroundings are not among them, nor is the city of Imperia, where Sédér of Stieber lives.
The best Hungarian water polo player of all time, world champion, two-time European champion has lived in Italy for many years and is now a coach. On the Ligurian coast in Imperia, a sportsman coaching a local team experienced the first wave of the coronavirus epidemic very badly in the spring. Now thank goodness that Liguria is not yet one of the four provinces mentioned.
We belong to the so-called yellow zone, the most threatened is the red one, the orange is a lighter one, then we arrive. There is no green zone anywhere in Italy because, to some extent, all areas are infected.
The coach told our newspaper.
Our only restriction is that we cannot go out without a mask, and the bars, pubs and clubs close at six in the afternoon. In our pool, workouts go smoothly, but I have to wear a mask all the time, not an easy mask to scream about twenty kids’ spins. But at least we can work!
Mercedes Stieber also spoke about the fact that in the spring, during the closure introduced during the first wave, the curfew, many of them were depressed. He was also worn out from his quarantine and also heard that many had committed suicide.
There were two reasons for this, one was the depression induced by the quarantine and the other was insecurity. At the time of the first wave, many companies went bankrupt and the owners who were runner-up were unable to process the stories. Perhaps that is why the government is now refraining from a complete shutdown. Here in our schools, teaching takes place with everyone wearing a mask and keeping the windows open. It’s 18 degrees and sunny for now, but it’s going to be even cooler. The children bring blankets to the classroom and wrap themselves in them to avoid being cold.
There are also virus deniers in Italy. There were also protests against the closures in Naples, Turin.
I am not one of them myself, but I am no longer sure that I will be vaccinated against the virus if the vaccine is available in December as advertised. After all, the virus is constantly mutating, which is no longer what it was in March, and the serum was developed against the original virus. How do I see the light at the end of the tunnel? Not much, I’m afraid we will have to live with the disease for years to come. I think the only solution is to be as strict as possible. So maybe we can deal with the epidemic
- Says the water polo player.
Parents are not happy
In the red zones, schools will be partially closed, moving from seventh grade to online education. Frankl Edina says that the conditions for distance education are not everywhere and Guilia Cerino says that educational measures are very bureaucratic, difficult to adjust, which creates more tensions.
It does not matter what the home environment is like, where and with whom people are locked up.
– believes Mónika Szilágyi, who lives in Milan, the headquarters of Lombardy. He said restrictive measures should have been taken weeks ago. Epidemiologists have indicated long before that the spread of the virus will increase and the number of diseases will increase. According to the Hungarian woman who works as a book editor, it cannot be explained that children, especially teenagers, adhere to social protection measures such as distance. Her eighth grade daughter tells her classmates to shake hands, hug, kiss, couples fired up by hormones won’t hold back either. Also, during lunch breaks, seniors can go to nearby stores, increasing the risk of infection. However, many parents protest the closures, and several doubt their need.
However, much of Italian society is aware of the need for restrictions and accepts them. However, there are those who want to reduce the weight of the threat of the virus. In the case of deaths, it is often heard that other diseases played a role in their deaths. Mónika Szilágyi also points out that posts that minimize the danger are spreading in community parenting groups, including social media. However, the rate of virus disinformation and denial is not significant, nothing significant compared to the United States, said Cerino, who has been back from there for two weeks and is currently in quarantine.
There have been recent protests over restrictions organized by the far right, which is based on discontent and is trying to politicize the measures. However, in such movements specifically against the wearing of masks, the participants wore masks.
They no longer clap
“The restrictions should have been applied earlier, but the policy was delayed. Perhaps, it would not have been possible to push the restrictions down the throat of the public until people began to die en masse, ”says Mónika Szilágyi.
Even so, the general atmosphere is bad, Italians no longer serenade on the terraces, they do not applaud, they cheer up, as in spring. The other day someone came out onto the patio and chanted, “We will get over it, we will.” However, the breath was followed by an uncomfortable silence, no one joined the optimistic demonstration.
The Hungarian woman publishing the book says that the other day she got into a fight with a member of a WhatsApp parent group. He shared a post that said that only five percent of those infected with the coronavirus would be hooked up to a ventilator. According to Mónika Szilágyi, most people are not well informed and do not understand the weight of the epidemic and the mathematics.
Eight million people contracted the flu last year. If this number refers to those infected by the coronavirus, it would mean that four hundred thousand people would be connected to a ventilator.
– illustrates Mónika Szilágyi, adding that if there were no restrictions, the coronavirus, much more contagious, would infect many more people than the flu.
In Italy, more than 30,000 new infections were registered on Wednesday and 353 patients died.
