We are breaking daily records in my town... People just don't get it...  1,400 people died in America yesterday. That's like 3 airliners crashing. If 1,400 died in plane crashes yesterday, Americans would be screaming... It is crazy that half the people don't seem to care...

That’s a shame Umbertino , very sad .

what do the authorities attribute the rise in numbers to ?

 

 

Thanks for reading, Shelley...

 

Rise in numbers is the result of a natural heavy 2nd wave we're in at the moment plus a few logistics problems unfortunately...

 

But the reality of the current covid situation is diversified depending on the area  and also to diff. local policies.....

 

Regions have faculty to decide on how to proceed...Also the central Gov't...

That's understandable...I wish them the best...

 

Calabria, as most of Southern regions is somehow neglected by Politics since it doesn't generate significant money in terms of industries etc...

 

Which is of course extremely wrong of the Gov't
