Unreal, a month ago (February 7th) I was posting this news story [1] related to the city of Shenzen which was about to be put into some form of lockdown, it only received one upvote. A month from that event and we have an entire European country (a G7 member to add) under lockdown.

have a trip scheduled first 2 weeks in june, also unsure of what to do

I'm not expecting to be able to travel much this summer, not because I'm from Italy but because every country is going to have its own share of problems.
