A new Day, a new restriction in Italy.

Now it is forbid to move out or your local municipality.

Coronavirus, ban on the movement of people from the municipality where they are "except for proven needs"

Italy has now closed every non-essential activity.
You can exit from home only in a 200 m radius, for whatever reason, but work and food shopping.
Many supermarkets have now restricted opening hours, in addition only one person per family can enter the shop.

The only last step to be exactly like China is welders on the house doors.

We are going to need bigger guns.

How big? .50 cal is about as much as I'd want to handle in a pinch.

Even more podcasts to consider... help, help, help... not enough time in the day.

Thanks for narrowing down your recommendations.  I am currently using the Overcast app to listen to podcasts, so I will rarely listen to any podcasts that are not on overcast (except incidentally if an episode is pointed out as notworthy on some other medium).. just makes it easier for me to keep track of it on overcast and I can vary the speed... and just listen to any podcast at my own background playing convenience.

Besides people surrounding me IRL, I am glad hanging around here with you guys (and girls) in these trying times.

btw spare a thought please for a pseudonymous fellow bitcoiner (edit let's call him AV) who has disappeared from a channel I know of. A youngish guy maybe like 32, very friendly European, knowledgable maxi type. By all accounts he was chatting away in channel researching the virus with everyone. One morning end of January he said he was feeling ill. He hasn't been heard from since despite repeated messaging over different platforms. He had had no 'jungle plan' that he's shared and was going to stay in place where he felt well set up. They have doxed him among a select few and will pursue that to check on his welfare, but it seems either very callous of him not to check in or very sad for him and his family that it should come on so quickly.

I have the same opinion.

Something like this?

Something I thought of last night: They don't need a test to see if you have the CV. They need a test to see if you have HAD the CV.

it seems to me that both kinds of tests already exist, even though there are a variety of techniques to accomplish and of course, shortages of tests and even logistical issues regarding who and how to test.

The "already had" CV test is testing for the presence of CV anti-bodies, I believe.

So basically Italy has just approved the same restrictions we have had since a week ago. Except we cannot even go out for that 200m UNLESS it is for work, food or medicines... or walk the dog.

I didn't know Overcast and it only works on iOS, I can't use it, thanks anyway.
With Isolation due to shitCOVID, the podcast list is also a good exhaust valve.

Thx, for the list.

Did you get home?

That's correct.
have CV-either immunological for surface protein (less sensitive, probably) or PCR-for viral genomes.
had CV-test for presence of antibodies. This test would become progressively more important as we move forward as we need to ID people who already had it and are possibly immune. These people could do things that others can't.

The only caveat is that the amount of antibodies in the bloodstream would be declining steadily after infection is over, maybe over a couple of months or a bit more.
After that you are still protected, usually, by the presence of so called memory cells (both T- and B-) which spring into action IMMEDIATELY after re-infection and not allow new viral growth.

lol, and you made fun of us murricans

[bitserve]

Did you get home?

Not even tried yet. The thing is that restrictions are tightening even more and now I fear if my GF comes with me, there is a possibility she is unable to come back for providing food and medicines to his nearby (just a couple tens of meters away from where we are now) mother. And she doesn't want to take her with us because she wants to keep her in *FULL* physical isolation. Oh well... there's so many things to consider at the same time...

Sooner or later I will have to go anyways. I see from the cameras that the cats still do have food, but that's not gonna last much longer. Being feral they probably are perfectly capable to provide for themselves, at least up to a certain point. They are not going to starve.

Anyway, my GF house is also my "home" in some way, so it's fine. It's just not ideal but what can I do... the world is so fucked up right now.

v8s: 11:05 I hate to say it, but the USA is the only hope for humanity's freedom, simply because the citizens are armed.

yes well
was before the so called Commies let their virus free all over the shop thereby killing a significant proportion of everyone on the planet

And what is he doing on twitter again? Just for the shock value because he aint doing it to educate anyone.

This is when it gets complicated. I went over to see the GF last night, my thought is if the cops chase me I have a fairly fast car and it's really probably not worth it to arrest. Last thing they want to do is take people to jail that they will need for real problems.

My thought on the antibody test is if I know I've had it (say one of the 99% milds) then I would be perfect to volunteer in a hospital as a "blast shield" and handle the incoming losers with minimal protection. Then as they get well you put them in the line of fire for a few weeks.

A temporary tattoo can identify the certifiably fine, and they can spend unemployment doing things that will help. Pay them from the Govt and you have a serious solution to this mess.
