Let’s be honest, being on lockdown is no fun. For anyone who loves to travel, or just generally loves being…
“Italy has now been on lockdown for three weeks, and speaking from personal experience, filling your time with something worthwhile can be a challenge.”
“Closer to home, in my town of Decimomannu, with a population of 8,000 people, we have received news of our first confirmed case of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.”
“It’s only really been 18 days since the country went on lockdown, but it strangely feels like months ago.”
“If your country is just about to go on lockdown, and you find yourself afraid of what lies in store, don’t be – everything will be alright … it’s not so bad.”
“Sometimes it’s just necessary to spend time with the people you love, being silly … allow yourself to disconnect from the bad for a moment.”
“Given the uncertainty of how long this lockdown will continue, we have both realised that taking things day by day seems to be the easiest way to handle things.”
“I think that high schools are quite slow in the process of organising lessons online … they were not prepared at all.”
‘In my town, and in towns all over Italy, there are cars equipped with megaphones driving around the streets, repeating the same message over and over, “Stay at home”.’
“The evening news is showing videos of people singing and playing music from their balconies. We know we are in lockdown, but we know we’re not alone.”
“Since my previous post on Saturday, the number of confirmed positive cases of the COVID-19 Coronavirus in Sardinia has jumped to 84. This is an increase of 39 cases in two days.”
“So how do you explain the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic to a five-year-old?”
“At home, it felt like a holiday initially, but the novelty quickly wore off as we realised the seriousness of the situation.”
“The only people on our usually busy main street are Police officers with face masks, and a few stragglers carrying grocery shopping.”
“Music playing in the background was constantly interrupted to advise shoppers to stay at least one metre from others, to cover sneezes and coughs, and to avoid touching their faces”
“Today is the first day of the national lockdown, and Sardinians, well almost all, are taking the threat seriously. There are less people on the street, and there is definitely a sense of tension in the air.”
