Viterbo – Everyone at home. At ten at night. There was really no one around Viterbo yesterday. Deserted streets and a full-blown curfew, the second in a short time, which from this weekend starts two hours before midnight. To close at dawn, like the previous one. At 5 in the morning. To save us from Covid.

Nothing remains. On the street, at least until 11, not even the police. Instead, several patrols were seen around the city in the late afternoon.

The true test of the 9th of this low intensity confinement will be today. Especially at night. Village Saturday. The day when everyone, for years, has become accustomed to English, between drunkenness and various excesses, and that everyone, on the other hand, now finds himself having to live inside the house. Between dog, television and fireplace. With kids, especially teens or twentysomethings, who just don’t want to know how to get under the covers at ten o’clock at night. When until last year at ten at night it was decided whether to do the morning or not, and under what conditions.

For today there will be radical and harsh controls. And this, taking into account the shades, means that there is no mercy for those who go without a mask. As announced by the mayor Giovanni Arena who participated in the meeting called by the prefect Giovanni Bruno in the citadel of health with the ten municipalities of Tuscia, Viterbo at the head, where the situation of the Coronavirus would seem to be more critical.

For those who do not wear masks a fine of 400 to 1000 euros, that these days, between people who haven’t worked for a while and cash contributions that haven’t reached everyone yet, it’s roughly the equivalent of a finger in an eye. What no one likes to receive.

However, despite the surrounding desert and the lights out, some also for fear of controls, the atmosphere on the street is one of anguish and tension. Deep. For the first time since March, people seem to live this second madness only with resignation and sacrifice. Nothing else. And we don’t talk about anything else. Everywhere. With more and more people in clubs and in public they have started whispering. So as not to be heard by those who pass by. More and more enemy, less and less fellow citizen or more simply, human. All seasoned with a less obvious aggressiveness but, on the nose, much more general than last spring when people could no longer bear to stay closed at home.

People don’t understand. You seem to perceive this. He does not understand why the schools have closed again. And in Tarquinia, meanwhile, a small revolt led by 400 has broken out and passes to the parents against this decision.

People do not understand why hospitals get stuck again and why the fault seems to lie only with those who do not wear the mask, who must certainly wear it, and never with those who arrived unprepared, and should not have, to this second appointment in against. COVID-19. In short, people really seem to be about to hate at the end of the day. Where, in the end, even the wonderful views of a city are no longer enough, which, however, is increasingly deserted. Despised and alone. And where only a few have the privilege or the challenge of seeing it that way. With everyone else plugged in in the house and, in all likelihood, pissed off niggers.
