Very easy to say. Very difficult to implement. Save human life without destroying (an already bad) economy in between. Especially in Italy a country full of strong opinions.

Surely the earlier you do it the least impact there is on the economy. Stoping the movement of people for a month is better than being in limbo for a month and still ending up with a quarantine at the end anyway

When the impact isn't as large yet, not enough people believe you when you say it is necessary.

We're going to see the same in Spain, from 50 to 500 plus cases in a week but still a very relaxed attitude. Spain ought to learn from China/Italy/S Korea and lock stuff down now. It seems each country think it'll play out differently for some reason. I imagine in 7-10 days Spain will have 5k cases plus.

Same for Germany, the Netherlands and so on. But the US will be something else, I think.

I am an italian from a red zone. It seems like it has been left to the common sense of people. I have collegues who come from other red zones and they could come easily. I don't understand.

Bar, pubs etc will be closed.

Stores will be open like 8-18 and will be closed on weekends.

Honestly I don't understand how this is going to help: say that 100 people go to the store in a week.

- 10 Mon

- 10 Tue

- 10 Wed

- 10 Thu

- 10 Fri

- 25 Sat

- 25 Sun

Those 50 people that go on Sat/Sun will go during the week, resulting in

- Mon 20

- Tue 20

- Wed 20

- Thu 20

- Fri 20

- Sat 0

- Sun 0

How is this going to help?
