There's so many fake news here, too, and you have to really investigate everything you read. It's crazy, really. I feel for you guys in the US you have no idea... please be as safe as you can because I'm not sure your Government will protect you as you should be protected!

I am sort of a hermit myself so this social isolation is not exactly as hard for me as it is for many others... lol! I'm my mother's primary caretaker, and I'm alone now that dad is not with us anymore, plus I'm an introvert so the chances of going out are slim for me even when there's no pandemic around. I read something quite funny today and I feel it too... a girl on Twitter wrote: As an introvert with a spot of anti-social behaviour, I basically just found out that my way of life is what everyone else calls quarantine. Uh." LOL! Just so ;)

Not touching people and keeping our distance is something quite hard for us Italians, yes, but in some ways it forced us to find other ways to be close to one another. I chatted with a stranger on the phone yesterday when she called my house because she had a wrong number, and I'm talking with so many neighbours from the window or when I take out the trash and that's not something I've ever truly done before. It's quite lovely.

Look after yourself, hon, ok? With any luck we'll soon be seeing the end of this tunnel.

*hugs and love*
Chicca
