Hi everyone, I am writing to you from Italy, I have been living in the red zone for three weeks, and now more or less all of Italy is a red zone, my children are taking lessons from home with their smartphone, I work in smart- working, life-size conferences, remote connection to unix servers, remote-desktop on my personal computer at work, then google that knows everything about me, but it repays me with comfortable gmail, and google drive. My wife, on the other hand, is subject to infection, since she works in a supermarket, and these are still open, while everything else is closed, except for pharmacies. I wanted to say that in anguish, lack of freedom of movement, fear for the health of my loved ones, I am having a strange experience. I never fully believed in Democracy, I always thought of Her as the lesser evil, moreover this government that governs today in Italy does not reflect the popular vote of the last election. Still, this government screwed up the national economy, first stopped the 4 regions that produce 75% of the national GDP, then the rest, and this to try to slow down the spread of the virus by allowing hospitals to take care of the most fragile people. They will be populistic measures as Macron and Boris Johnson say, but for once I am happy to be Italian, we are a young nation, we are individualistic and disrespectful of laws and rules, but we have centuries of civilization behind us, and a profound Catholic culture that permeates even atheists like me.
Fuck it all, GDP, globalization and the spread, however bad and busted ours is truly a democracy, the strong powers have stepped aside.

Ubi maior, minor cessat

Dear friends, my father needs help, I've no more time to spend with you.
Thank you so much for your  companionship during this years.
I will not cancel the account, I hope this wouldn't be a farewell, but a goodbye to everyone.

your Andrea
