I just took a driving tour through town. The school, which was previously abandoned, is now packed with people playing tennis, running on the track, and playing football on the field. There are construction projects going on. People hanging out in the parking lots in front of the fast food joints.
...the whole thing made me feel like a damn shut-in is what it did.

About the numbers "all wrong" here in Lombardy: (

(please google translate)
This epidemic is clearly showing that the social and health care reform in Lombardy was a fool, it failed on all fronts. And certain official numbers have the air of a manipulation to save certain heads ». The president of the Order of doctors of Bergamo is not subtle, nor is Paola Pedrini, regional secretary of Fimmg, Italian Federation of general practitioners . " More and more unreliable numbers are spread by the authorities, we would not want the confusion to hide the responsibility of the generals in the Caporetto of Italian public health- points out - . True, patients' requests to family doctors, at least in Lombardy, seem to be decreasing, but we are very worried that this news is misleading public opinion. A wrong message is passing, that the access to the emergency room is decreasing so the agent is afraid to go there or the family doctors send them too late.
Those of us who are working on the front line cannot afford the luxury of chatter: it is clear that people would go to the hospital when they are sick, but the emergency emergency services do not manage to guarantee all admissions because they are still placed there are none: the beds are not free. The reasoning is another: before, swabs were made only to inpatients, for some days they have been done to inpatients and symptomatic health workers, who are almost all positive even if with few symptoms . This has created a positive data not hospitalized on the territory that did not exist before, false numbers because they refer only to health workers and not to the entire population. We wonder if those who manage numbers are just incompetent, if they live in a parallel universe or if they are marching on us ».Surely FB average users.

You're in the middle of a big outbreak area, are you not? We have three confirmed cases in my town, all in the same family. Around here, it doesn't seem like that much of a threat.
A lot of small towns are probably the same way.

yes I am, they had to close the beaches & hiking trails due to the amount of morons still going out.
until celebrities die no one is going to really give a shit.
just picked up 30 lbs of beans and I have 25 lbs of rice plus meats etc.
with grocers coming down I wonder how soon before the markets close altogether to stay safe?

I've been getting curbside and and house delivery done. I'm stocked up pretty well on everything except meats and hand sanitizer, and if things go according to plan, I should have some steak and chicken arrive via Instacart tomorrow.
Got a fuckton of soup and ravioli too.
