What It is saying is basically :" There has been a ban on leaving your home , except for work needs self-certitiable , for food delivery needs or medicines for people unable to leave their home OR for health reasons.
To meet these demands is the only way to stop the spread of the virus ; we trust on your sense of responsibility because the health of everyone is at stake".
Ps. I'm sorry if i made some errors here and there , but i've tried to translate the best that i can.

We have family in Italy. The fine for disobeying this enforcement is roughly a $600 fine. The Carabinieri closed off inter-city traffic.

Ah yes, when I finally start going out more to ease the depression, I’m soon going to be forced to stay inside. Take me now, lord.
MishiMoshiSquishyToesies
Ugh, same. I can feel my depression starting to kick up again and was looking forward to going out for my bday and was just derided by my
MishiMoshiSquishyToesies
dad for wanting to go out during Corona outbreak...

*I don't live in a particularly high risk area though

There’s 3 cases where I live as of today, I want to say that’s because there’s a high population of old people but it just be like that.

Italy here,in short we are locking down by step to slow down infection.Productivity is still on, shops closed.Waiting for economic measures.
DickPicEnthusiast
How will you buy shit if the shops are closed?
iamunframed
Pubs, bars, restaurant closed, they only delivery.Pharmacies open.tldr you can buy food and meds.Two weeks for the moment.
DickPicEnthusiast
What about supermarkets and grocery stores? There's more things to buy beyond food and toilet paper.
iamunframed
Supermarkets are open, 1 meter distance between people in queue outside the entrance.

Someone post that gif of the propaganda vans being driven around Pripyat. Which is not to say this is propaganda, just reminds me of that.
CantankerousCantaloupe
The word does have very negative connotation in western world, but this is propaganda, not saying anything wrong with it, but it just is.
warriorofdiscord
I mean... it's technically not. By the description of what Propaganda is.
CantankerousCantaloupe
"Propaganda is information that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda"? There's even manipulative bit at the end.
warriorofdiscord
That's a poor definition, I don't know where you sourced it from. Try Merriam-Websters.
CantankerousCantaloupe
"ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause" You think that doesn't fit?
CantankerousCantaloupe
Propaganda has negative connotation, but it doesn't always mean something malicious. Communication engineered to change people's behavior.

Didn't Italy run out of medical equipment so they now are just deciding who dies?
thanksfoenothing
Yes. Just like what's going to happen here in a month.
AideenSK
Medical triage is in effect, that means important and rare equipment is used based on who has the best chances to survive. So in a simple
AideenSK
way, yes, they do decide on who gets a shot at trying to survive, and who will most likely pass away.
fedeColorTerror
Yes. There are about 5000 beds in intensive care. Which are not enough. They are adding a lot and 25 billions euro will be used for that too
fedeColorTerror
but it's not something you can do overnight. That's why it's so important to slow down the spread. Most of the countries have a very limited
fedeColorTerror
number of intensive care beds and ventilators. Hope that the other countries see this and hurry to get ahead before being hit

Yes and yes.

It is putting way to much pressure on healthcare systems, they lost control of it basically, the country is on lockdown to try to stop it
Ryuseki27
The fact that it's spreading like fucking crazy is the big deal. The ability to spread during its long incubation period is nuts.
RandomAntonio
The virus itself is not that powerful, lots of people only show simptoms of a banal influenza, what's concerning is how fast the virus 1/2
RandomAntonio
Is spreading, which could cause a collapse of our sanitary system because of full hospitals.

That is so proactive, seeing as they are one of the last states to have a confirmed case.

All the old people (most likely to actually die) are saying it's panic and we're all pussies, but I'm thrilled. My son is coming back home.

not hoarding TP, but buying non perishable food, common flu medications (in case you have a common flu and don't want to go out), water,
fedeColorTerror
tissues, plastic bags, products to clean the house, food for your pets, soap, hand sanitizer. Yes TP too, but like for 1 month, not for 3
fedeColorTerror
years. Also, if you live paycheck to paycheck, try to save all you can right now and put a little saving aside in case you can't work for
fedeColorTerror
a couple of months. Be sure you can pay your bills for 3 months ahead. In Italy they are freezing the payments of bills and mortgages, but

Italy here, buy disinfectant and masks, stay at home!
7punto34
Leave the masks for profesionals and patients. Buy food and fill your freezer with healthy homemade food
7punto34
In case you have to stay at home quarantined while you are sick
ionizdgrunt
Don't buy masks. Just don't touch your face and wash your hands often. The hospitals need the masks.

Couldn’t you just send a message to people’s phones rather than dystopian loud speaker messages?

You could, but considering just how dire the situation in Italy is, I don't think they want to leave anything to chance.
fedeColorTerror
They are. They are doing that but text, telephone calls, television advertising, newspapers and social media, but through this too

So we’ve reached the stage where unsubscribed government text messages r considered less dystopian than oldfashioned public address systems.
TheRicM
Maybe not everyone checks their phones or has phones, especially older people
The701
My phone has likely been set to Silent for 98-99% of the time I've owned it. Its primary functions are: 1) Alarm clock. 2) Junk call

delivery system. 3) Very ocasional use of Chrome because the phone is cheap and slow as hell.

Right on, I appreciate the info. Interesting how people use their phones. I mostly use mine for games and photos and music

True. True.

Is this the modern "bring out your dead" wagon?

That is actually an interesting notion. If we don’t heed these warnings, more will die. Sadly and seemingly “plagish”. No vaccine for them.

It is in the homeless camps in WA. We have not seen anything yet.

Gotta source on that? I deal with the homeless population regularly in my job and it's not a population the local govt canvasses regularly.

No source, I volunteer with the homeless and they are coughing and have been for weeks. They are not going to get the help they need.

How are the emergency departments holding up?
SloppyKnocker22
They're packed with people worried about Corona, on top of the regular patients coming in. Supplies of masks are being rationed out too

From what I have heard, so far so good. But we're in the early part of shit going sideways

It is just like the flu if the flu took much longer to show symptoms making it much more likely to spread by multiples.
QuickLighting53
And had a 25x greater chance of killing you if you get it
FOBbitPoG
The ones I speak to say it's the media trying to hype it to hurt Trump.
DoYouGrokHorton
That was a pretty awful thing to say. You think the only people downplaying this are Trump supporters? Just wow.
QuickLighting53
Pretty much.... Yes. I haven't seen any non conservative morons downplaying it. It's a Fox News and InfoWars talking point after all
SamArt53
No, it’s not a drill. However, less than 100 have died in the USA. The “regular flu” has killed almost 30,000 since flu season started. How
SamArt53
many people who are panicking even got a flu shot for the regular flu which might kill 60,000 this year? Unless you’re old or immune issues
SamArt53
the Covid19/coronavirus is a mild flu. Also, if you’re under 18 you won’t die. The press is blowing this way out of proportion to threat.
FreshPrinceOfPersia
Except it's far more infections and kills a far higher percentage of people who get it, sure most (not all) healthy people will survive
FreshPrinceOfPersia
but it's pretty inconsiderate to think it's no big deal when without proper caution it could easily spread to 80% of the popuilation in
DeliciousUsersubClubSandwich
STOP SPREADING THIS BULKSHIT!! WAJE THE FUCK UP YOU IRRESPONSIBLE JACKASS!!!
BallsackHippo
Wake up, it's not about how many died so far but about how many could die. With a 2% death rate, were are talking 1million dead American 1/2
BallsackHippo
If it spread like the Influenza.

Yeah! What ballsackhippo said.

Drink the Kool-aid of the press who’s selling it.

I’m actually close to 70 - so not “low-risk”. I’ve seen varying statistics on it’s death rate. Professionals disagree.
