The information that I've understood from the TV news and online newspapers is that Italy is not "closed". If you sign a document showing that you're moving around for work, they you are allowed to move. For fun not. Don't take my above sentence literally. Is my personal summary of how they "close" the country. In fact it has been said that restricting movement of people is against constitution unless the martial law is declared, because the government could only impose that if doing an analysis you have the virus, which for me, makes a lot of sense then.

We are just helping to spread the fear. No, it's a realistic decision. A vaccine is likely a year-ish away barring a serendipitous breakthrough. Italy shut down the entire country effective this morning. US Universities and colleges are sending their students home. And so on -- because the only viable method available for slowing the spread is social distancing. COVID-19 will still propagate, but it will propagate more slowly, flattening the demand curve for medical resources, including personnel, hospital rooms, ICU space, etc. (And those of us in the US had better hope that works because the current infection rate projections look ominous circa March 20 and the testing rate is orders of magnitude below where it needs to be.) Everything done before a pandemic looks like too much, everything done after it hits looks like too little. ---rsk ********************************************** IPv4 is over Are you ready for the new Internet ? http://www.theipv6company.com The IPv6 Company This electronic message contains information which may be privileged or confidential.
