A Message From Italy

A message from Italy 🇮🇹❤️

The situation in Italy is really complex as the health system is about to collapse and doctors are working relentlessly. The virus is not just a “bad flu”: too many people need to get hospitalised to get oxygen but there are not enough spaces in hospitals.

I see posts like “fuck the virus”, or “virus I don’t fear you”, or “let’s party anyway” and these make me worried. People, please wake up and start being responsible. Those of my age have less chances to get sick, but they may pass the virus to older people, or those with a weaker immune system, who will need to go to hospital. It could be our parents, it could be people that are dear to us. But places in hospital are limited. Let’s do it for them or for our heroes: our doctors who are working non stop for us.

What is happening in Italy, sadly, is probably only the tip of an iceberg that is a GLOBAL crisis. It came from China in no time. It’s spreading all over Europe. I really hope it slows down, but to do that we ALL need to take the necessary measures.

We need to adopt the Chinese method and stay at home. We need to sacrifice on our lives a bit to help it from spreading. I know, you really want to board that flight for a tropical destination, or go to that birthday party or concert. I know we have all got so used to get anything in life, so easily. I am no different: I also really wanted to go to Disneyland with my daughter this upcoming weekend, and to DJ for a lot of events in the upcoming weeks. But it’s time to sacrifice. Get your responsibility hats on.

Work from home, stay at home. Take this time to reflect on you, to develop a new hobby, to stay with family. To just stop and think a bit.

Only united we can make this crisis stop as soon as possible. 💪
