The management of infections in Italy could have been better but in the end the country has not fared so badly, also thanks to the commitment of Italians who have been and continue to be loyal to the government’s instructions. From closing in March until the use of More expensive Today, most Italians have respected deliveries, even if these abroad are considered almost ridiculous and cause for ridicule. This is demonstrated by an article published on the website of Telegraph, one of the UK’s leading national newspapers, signed by one of its commentators.

It makes us smile that Italy’s morale comes from the United Kingdom, where in the last 24 hours more than 4,400 cases have been registered, marking the “critical point“According to British Health Minister Matt Hancock, there is a lot to assess”more restrictive measures“In the country to curb infections. The situation is so problematic that Hancock admitted that there is a discussion about a closure in London.”I am not a fan of Britain’s mask policy, imposed long after the epidemic peaked and despite the lack of decent evidence of its effectiveness. However, the Italian rules make it positive sensible“says Oliver Smith, travel reporter for the Telegraph.

Smith finds the rule of mandatory open air masks from 6 to 6 a.m. ridiculous. M. “only when called“, even more so is the use abroad”despite clear evidence that the risk of contracting Covid outdoors has disappeared“According to him, then, Italians would be so scared of the fine that”Masks are worn by the vast majority, indoors and outdoors, and not only at night, but also during the day. Even when it’s sunny and 30 degrees. Even when social distancing is eminently possible. In short, it is a very masked place. Rather, in my mind, a vast outdoor hospital than to a truly relaxing vacation destination“.

If the rule for outdoor masks after 6pm is ridiculous to Smith, those for restaurants are even more so: “Italians love their food and they love to talk out loud. Every ristorante We visited was full of tables with happy people eating spaghetti, yelling at the table, flirting outrageously and laughing happily. Gather 100 Italians in a restaurant and soon you will have respiratory particles everywhere“Stereotypes and clichés aside, for the Telegraph journalist, therefore, the rules on masks are as useful as”a section to urinate in a swimming poolSmith cites numerous other examples of “strange” behavior by Italians in the use of masks, which many wear on their arm or forehead, as if they were a handkerchief, and relates, with derision, that in our country there is a belief that if you wear the mask you can delegate to social distancing.
