American Thinker: The coronavirus is only partly about a killer illness that’s taking down too many people.
It’s also about the disruption of life – from the missing toilet paper on store shelves to the painful ending of church masses and services, to the cancellations of weddings and travel, to the fears for the economy. Most of all, it’s about the isolation, the forced ‘social distancing’ that’s exactly the opposite of our human desire to gather and be together in times of crisis. It’s the right thing to do to protect each other (since none of us knows if we are carriers) and the aim is right, too – to force the virus to die down for lack of opportunity to spread. But for human beings, isolation from one another in a crisis is a hard test of endurance.
The Italians, who are a complete national quarantine and suffering the gravest losses probably anywhere now, have recognized this. They’ve also come up with something that enables them to be together while staying safely apart:
Governors of Ohio and Illinois have outlawed balcony singing.
Inspirational. Sing on the balcony while they dispose of the bodies of the old people they refused to treat.
Nice to know Italians let their “COVID political prisoners” keep entertained to stay hopeful. Good thing the poor souls are talented.
This can soon happen in America if leftist governors and mayors keep creating anti-Constitutional mandated “martial law” against their citizens.
The biggest problem for the Italians is that many of them rely on Grandma & grandpa’s pension checks to to help survive financially.
If Nonna or Nonno dies then the 53 year old son and the 21 year old grand son will have to get off their LAZY, POST WW2 Asses and get a real fucking job!
I’m Italian decent and I have seen it FIRST HAND! The motivated ones left in 1946 and have been sending money back home for decades!
