Day 48:

We've had 2 days of pouring rain and thunder showers.  Have been bundled up on the sofa reading for 48 hours. 

Yesterday GP showed me a headline from Breitbart, (the freaking scary right-wing "news" outlet), that claimed that Italians are up in arms about the long lock down.  It claimed that throngs of people are demanding Conte's (Prime Minister) dismissal.   Talk about fake news!  In general there have been NO issues with the lock down here for two principle reasons. One:  Italians have never had a problem with staying home from work and school as long as they are well fed.  Two:  The North has been so devastated by this damned virus that people are scared shitless and think staying home is a FINE idea.  The few protests that have taken place have been organized by the anarchists who use ANY reason to get out in the streets and scream and break windows.  Shit, every other TUESDAY is a good day to riot!  And by the way, they ALWAYS wear black masks or bandanas on their faces so technically they are abiding by some of the rules...  I'm thinking Breitbart wants to show that other countries are against the severe lock downs so the protesters in the US are not alone.  Sorry.  They are.  At least don't link Italians with those delusional inconscious people cause it just ain't true.

Anywho.  Just saying.

Stay well.  xxoo me
