Italy Plans Large-Scale Lockdown in Country’s North to Fight Coronavirus
The Italian government is locking down 17 million people—more than a quarter of its population—including in Milan, the surrounding Lombardy region and 14 neighboring provinces, in the most sweeping steps any European country has prepared to take against the coronavirus epidemic...
Imagine the logistics.. the need to keep order. At least here, if it gets that drastic we have a natural border. I guess the big question is how does our transportation network, ships and planes, operate if the ports or airports fall within quarantine zones?
From a social order perspective, if our economy tanks, which it looks like is beginning to happen as hotels receive more and more cancelations, there is going to have to be some sort of restructuring of debt. Some temporary freeze offered to folks, like small business, that are effected. And a mountain of unemployment insurance. Otherwise what? The banks get a windfall as families default on their mortgages, businesses close all over the place?
Wow. So many off the wall thoughts..
