Whst does this actually mean

Just not letting them fly or cross border?

**flyingillini** · 03-07-20, 11:37 PM

I am quarantined as I’m writing this in my apartment in Vietnam.

They are confined to the northern area inc. Milan.
Roads blocked, no fly zone for at least 2 weeks.

I think the genie is out of the bottle. One projection is 20-60% world wide infection rate. 3-4% mortality rate. Mostly the old.
The young are almost immune.

Back home in time

**JIBBBY** · 03-08-20, 03:48 AM

That's my people over there. I got relatives in Italy

....

That's what happens with open liberal borders.. Build the Wall Trump style.. Stop flights from coming in..

Europe is polluted now.. Have fun..

**jjgold** · 03-08-20, 05:03 AM

Wtf?

**pologq** · 03-08-20, 06:35 AM

that is crazy.

**topgame85** · 03-08-20, 06:59 AM

I'm supposed to be in Portugal and Spain Second week of April, and flying jn to Florence Easter morning. We had a day planned in Parma which is just inside the "red zone". Restrictions put in place through April 3rd, but if they extend it guess we are screwed. Airline not canceling flights as of yet...

**slayer14** · 03-08-20, 08:04 AM

No fans at the parma soccer game, maybe take the under 2.5 goals in these itallian games use the angle of no fans and lack of motivation for players.

**Mr KLC** · 03-08-20, 08:19 AM

Heard a guy on the radio saying that we need to stop touching our faces to help bring this down. Kind of reminded me when Obama was telling us to check our tire pressures to combat gas prices.

**Big Bear** · 03-08-20, 08:28 AM

yikes!!!!

do you think this will happen in Germany or Greece?

was planning a European vacation but now I may have second thoughts

Kind of reminds me of the Orioles game a couple of years ago when they had the riots.

I see this video, and can't believe what I'm seeing....Woolworth's is still in business?

We did 2 weeks over there back in November. If you aren't already going and have the flexibility try to make it to Granada, I think it was my favorite Spanish city. Lisbon was fantastic as well

**jjgold** · 03-08-20, 09:08 AM

Best is just to stay home and wear a mask

**pologq** · 03-08-20, 09:17 AM

enioy yourself at another location. not worth going and being quarantined then yourself.

that is the fear now. you go somewhere and they do a quarantine and you are stuck somewhere longer without meds you need.

they act like the virus kills people in an hour of exposure with no way to combat it.

**clockwise1965** · 03-08-20, 09:20 AM

Stay home and only travel if it's absolutely necessary.

**nyplayer33** · 03-08-20, 10:20 AM

Obviouslt the contagiousness is huge

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Will def. Be in Lisbon and Porto. Spain itin is flexible. Way I see it is by April US will be probably 10's of thousands cases anyway, so why not go? If airline cancels flights and full refunds ok. Otherwise im going.

I love Italy. Great wine. Great food. Great history. Terrible politics though. They have a lot of older folks so this virus is hurting them more. Italians have been one of the greatest contributors to America.

**Snowball** · 03-08-20, 11:34 AM

shaded area is quarantined.

**Mike Huntertz** · 03-08-20, 11:43 AM

The scary thing about this is the % of new cases worldwide are increasing daily.
Until it levels off I will horde and be very wary.
The way it shakes down today, it spells depression on a major scale.

Italy starting to get over run with Muslim immigrants pouring in these days (1,400,000). It's changed the demographics in parts. Not like it use to be. It's got a middle east feel in alot of areas just put it that way now.

**veriableodds** · 03-08-20, 02:59 PM

martial law??

**slayer14** · 03-08-20, 03:00 PM

Italy's death toll rises by 133 to 366 in one DAY - and number of infected hits 7,375: PM puts 16 MILLION citizens in the north on lockdown and threatens them with a fine or three months JAIL if they leave the quarantine zones

**MinnesotaFats** · 03-08-20, 03:03 PM

Any place w open borders + large populations are going to see pandemic levels because everyone carries it, old people die.

We are only designed to live 40- 50 years.

If you're 70+ it's borrowed time anyway

**ace7550** · 03-08-20, 03:05 PM

I hope they have enough toilet paper to survive this.

those who never realized they’re slaves can never envision those whom they look up to genociding them
