I'm an Italian mom under coronavirus lockdown. Here's what I wish I had done differently before things got bad. Italy has been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak that's rapidly spreading worldwide. The country is on lockdown, its 60 million citizens have been instructed to remain indoors, and all public gatherings have been canceled. Katherine Wilson, a mother of two who lives in Rome, said she wished that she and other Italians had listened to warnings about the coronavirus. She warned Americans not to make "similar misguided choices." In Italy right now, we are experiencing a complete and total national lockdown — something that might happen in the US in the near future. The virus has ravaged our country. Hospitals in the north are on the verge of collapse. Intensive-care units are full of people who are elderly, but also people who are 40 and 50. The streets are empty, and restaurants are closed. You have to have an authorization paper to walk your dog. Only 10 days ago in Rome, this wasn't the case. The government had closed schools and most sporting facilities, but nothing else. Our teenagers were socializing in the evening with their friends. Kids had time on their hands and were healthy and well rested. Did we, as parents, really want them at home on their screens, where they'd been all day? "What are you going to do?" mothers often texted each other. "Are you letting him go?" Our teens were going stir-crazy at home. Their friends were going out, and the government hadn't told us to restrict their activities. So, reasoning that this was a disease that didn't strike teenagers, we told them to wash their hands and unleashed them onto the sidewalks and piazzas, into other people's cars and homes. Nearly two weeks later, I realize that this was a mistake. But this wasn't the only one that contributed to Italy's demise amid the coronavirus outbreak. To help prevent my American friends from making similar misguided choices, I've compiled a list of do's and don'ts for families in the US — a list I wish I'd had only a couple of weeks ago. Do keep your children home The only thing that could have prevented — or mitigated — this tragedy in Italy is social distancing. I'm not talking about a high-five instead of a handshake, or grandchildren not hugging their grandparents. I'm talking about not being close to another human being who is not your immediate family. This is the only available and effective measure to help slow the transmission of the disease. Don't pay attention to what other parents are doing When your teen complains that other parents are letting their kids go out and party, your reply should be something along the lines of "Where are my Beats?" Tune them out. If in a few weeks reality reflects that you were too conservative, then hallelujah. Do let go of screen-time concerns Global technology gave this virus the possibility to travel at the speed of light, and it also gave us Netflix. Nobody is expecting you to entertain or stimulate or engage with your children at all times when there is a pandemic. It's OK if, for now, biology class gets replaced by Instagram and TikTok. Just accept it. Do shop responsibly There is no reason to hoard supplies. In Italy, even now, we are still allowed to go to the supermarket every day if we need to, and the shelves are full. Instead of stocking up on toilet paper, buy food that you've always wanted to cook but never had the time to. In lockdown, you'll have the leisure to let things simmer, soak, and rise. Do make arrangements for your family to be at home, together If your teen is traveling or studying elsewhere, require them to come back as soon as possible. You never know what transportation bans are going to be instituted, or when. If you can, drive rather than take a train or plane. Don't obsessively read COVID-19 updates As you're likely already aware, this pandemic can become addictive and horrifying. Reading about it can add stress and anxiety and encourage you to envision apocalyptic scenarios. Instead, focus on what we can do that's actually effective: Wash our hands, take care of our health, and stay at home. https://news.yahoo.com/m-italian-mom-under-coronavirus-152400574.html 2 Likes 1 Share |

I'm trying to stock up my house before lockdown here in Nigeria. If people from developed countries are lamenting because of the halt in almost all activities, I don't want to imagine how it will be in Nigeria with our epileptic power supply. Goods stocked up will spoil because of no light, it will be boring. I hope we tackle this virus before it gets to that stage. 1 Like |

Tell your govt to turn of the 5g signals in your 5 biggest cities and you will be fine

beautyhd: The virus can't scale here because there is no city with active 5g |

GamalNasser:Just look at you. The virus is thriving and gradually accelerating and you are saying it can't scale cos of 5g absence. Simple sense will tell us that a reduced or cut-off socialization will drastically curtail the spread. My God help us in this country. 5 Likes |

potbelly: Shut up you are too dull to understand this so stay in your lane man , not every is for your consumption. What do you know about Electro magnetic waves and their frequency , do you know your 4g is just 6Ghz wave compared to 5g whose minimum frequency starts at 24Ghz ..even if I explain to you from morning to night you can never understand because your type was put on the Earth to eat , Bleep , drive Camry and pay bills 2 Likes |

| Re: Italian Mom Coronavirus Lockdown: Here's What I Wish I Had Done Differently by GamalNasser: 9:40am On Mar 19, 2020 |
allandutch: Okay here is how it works . 5g EMW frequency weakens the human immunity and that same time electrically charges our bodies virome community ( you know we all carry a huge catalogue of dormant viruses in us ko?). this weakening of the Human immunity and the charging of the Virome activates the Viral frequency we today refer to as COVID-19 . So with with our immunity weakened and the virus charged we become susceptible to them . Do your own research and you will find out that every city where infection rate is scaling fast has an active 5 signal there . Yes human to human infection is possible in Nigeria but it can never be sustained because of the lack of 5g signals here yet . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFN5LUaqxOA

GamalNasser: Let's assume it has something to do with 5G and its been researched already anyways Let's also assume i agree with you that it can't survive in Nigeria because we lack 5G Now its called a Virus for a reason. It can Mutate. And when mutation begins. Ur eyes go clear say no be by say u be black man or na 5G or heat dey africa. Virus can freaking survive in anyplace, ANY PLACE. |

cruxgemmata: Every Virus already exist within us , we all come preloaded with billions of viruses in our Virome catalogue .. Ask your self what's a virus ? Give a a virus the right frequency and it will get excited and come alive ... COVID 19 need EMW frequency of 24Ghz+ to be sustained , most infections in Nigeria for now will come from people migrating from cities with 5g signals and person to person transmission in Nigeria will be hard to sustain ( there will be transmissions but it will be hard to sustain) |
