Thanks! Yeah, a lot of frequently asked questions out there, as it’s pretty unprecedented. IMO the US won’t get to this point of lockdown but that’s not because of the spread, it’s because of America
You can leave your home for one of three reasons:
1) To go to work/back home (lots of nonessential people have been put on admin leave, lots of closed businesses so this eliminates a large percentage of the population)
2) medical appointments (essential medical appointments are the only ones allowed in Italy right now, nonessential appointments have been postponed/cancelled)
3) for reasons of “necessity” (which is where subjectivity comes to play). You can go to the grocery store, to get gas, go to the bank/post office, and that’s about it.
The good news is the stuff you’re seeing in the US isn’t happening here. Grocery store supply chain is easily able to keep up with demand. TP on the shelves, produce pretty available.. Basically I’m in “go to work, then home” mode for 3 more weeks before they‘ll make a call. Cases are still climbing rapidly here so we’ll need the curve to flatten pretty quickly before Italy starts changing things.
My best advice for everyone is to stay at home unless you need to leave. The essential part of containing this virus is preventing its spread by reducing interactions with as many people as possible.
