quote [ Italy Locks Down Much of the Country’s North Over the Coronavirus
The restrictions affect Milan and the regions that serve as Italy’s economic engine, and are the most sweeping measures outside China. ] Greetings from Milan, by an old timer Italian SEr.
What more can I say? We are officially confined.
It feels quite strange. I'll try to keep you informed, in case of remarkable developments (I spare you the superstitious gestures I'm indulging in as I type this: they are probably culturally untranslatable).

Not my first thought, sincerely.
On the other hand, we already had some mass hysteria waves in the supermakets. So Romero. And a massive prison riot, with three victims, just a few hours ago.
Anyway: the situation is quite bad. COVID-19 mortality raises violently — even between people under 50 and 40 years old — when the healthcare capacity reaches the saturation. That's already the case, here in Lombardy (an area which represents the health system excellence in Italy: the rest of the country is in worst shape); and we are just at the beginning of an exponential growth. The rumors from the hospitals are frightening.
