Dont Touch.

Don’t touch.

hi, sorry what’s happening rn in italy? Which are the updates?

All ‘unnecessary’ businesses are now shut down as part of the complete quarantine. That includes everything from clothing shops, bar, restaurants, cafes, ‘unnecessary’ factories to beauty parlours and hair salons, along with schools, universities, museums, gyms, etc. Pharmacies, supermarkets, banks, police stations, mail services, public transport and ‘basic necessity food shops’ (such as delicatessens and fish sellers) can stay open. 

As before, people are allowed ‘short walks outside as long as they’re on their own’, but are now banned from leaving their village/hometown, except for work commutes (which they have to prove). Other than that, they can only go outside for emergencies, necessities (eg groceries) and health reasons, and have to present a self-certification document if stopped by the police – false claims are punishable by jail time (3 months). No public gatherings, no visiting people/relatives/friends, and yes, police are patrolling. People have to stay at home. Outside, minimum distance from each other is one metre.

We are now at 12.462 Covid 19 cases, 827 deaths and 1.045 recoveries. Hospitals in Northern Italy are seriously struggling because there’s not enough ITU for everyone. Doctors have to prioritise who to cure, based on how likely they are to recover. If the number of cases rise in other parts of the country, the entire healthcare system will risk a collapse.  So, if you can, please donate to the following hospitals - if not, please spread the word:

Ospedale Niguarda (Milan)

Ospedale Maggiore (Cremona)

Ospedale Fatebenefratelli (Naples)

Policlinico di Catania

ASST Lecco

Ospedale Sant’Anna (Como)

Ospedale San Matteo (Pavia)

Terapia Intensiva di Padova

Azienda Ospedaliera Pugliese-Ciaccio (Catanzaro)

GOM Reggio Calabria

Santa Maria Nuova (Reggio Emilia)

Ospedale Cotugno (Naples)

Ospedale Umberto I (Enna)

Piedmont crisis unit

Novara’s hospital (Piedmont)

Ospedali di Messina

In this Twitter thread, you will find several other links to donate to.

It’s not easy, so thank you for your help.

What can you see on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea, a pale moon rises The ships have come to carry you home And all will turn to silver glass A light on the water, grey ships pass Into the West. A tribute to Christopher Tolkien. Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to grasp the true depth of Middle Earth’s history, and there would be many more stories left untold. The Silmarillion has always been a favorite, and has been a constant source of inspiration and a source of comfort, along with the other books in the legendarium. There are no words to describe how much these books mean to me, and no words to express how I’ll forever be grateful for them for their accompaniment throughout the years.  It always felt like coming home, reading them, to a place you’ll forever hold dear to your heart. His and his father’s legacy will continue to live on, and I’ll forever be thankful that it has been released into the world, for the world is immensely better because of it. From the depths of my heart, thank you for everything you’ve done, Christopher Tolkien. May the Star of Eärendil guide you back Into the West, and may you find eternal peace in the Halls of Mandos.
