Italy on FULL quarantine and lockdown...

Shops stripped bare in scenes reminiscent of ‘zombie apocalypse’ as coronavirus fears sweep Italy (VIDEOS)
Italy gets it. Their government would rather Italians lived, than be murdered. If you go out and everyone is wearing a mask, damn well better be out for a very good reason.


Italians in the Lombardy region have begun stockpiling food and basic necessities, leaving shops in a post-apocalyptic-looking state.
Supermarket shelves were stripped in mere hours as stocks ran low and queues lengthened, as evidenced by eyewitness footage from Milan.
Some wistfully joked that it was almost pleasant to be living through what they dubbed a “zombie apocalypse.”
Schools and museums have been closed, events such as the Venice Carnival have been cancelled while Fashion designer Giorgio Armani reportedly held a closed-door event to conclude Milan Fashion Week on Sunday by streaming his latest collection from an empty theater.
Roughly dozens northern Italian towns have been placed on lock-down as the total number of infected in Italy stands at over 150 publicly admitted to, but real number likely 100x that, considering all hospitals are full of flu patients lining up. Later on Sunday, officials closed theaters, cinemas and other public places like pubs and clubs for at least seven days, the majority of which are located in the densely populated region around Milan.
The coronavirus crisis in Italy has shocked Europeans, jumping from fewer than five known cases before Thursday to over 150 by the end of the weekend.
