4 May, phase 2 without precise rules: "Italians left in disarray"

(by John Blackeye) After the last election runway on TV where the first reopenings and the return to an almost normal life were announced with caution, it was hoped that the Government also provided instructions for use for the move to phase two. That is, the outpouring of President Conte on TV had been so devoid of every detail that subsequent communications were expected to understand what to do to return to carry out, even if partially, the life of before. But evidently in Italy we have to carry an inauspicious tradition which is to do things halfway.

Commuters and mothers waited for days for answers that never came and it was understood that the partial reopening, dictated by the economy and finance at a time when daily infections in Italy still count about two thousand people infected every 24 hours will take place in a climate of total disarray.

Save yourself who can or arrange it, this must have been the answer ever given by hundreds of experts, who came out of nowhere, to the question of who was wondering how to manage the regional transport and children at home who don't go to school while their parents go back to work.

As for transport, in yesterday's press conference, dr. Borrelli, of the Civil Protection, made a catastrophic as well as grotesque statement: “For transport, if the distances are respected, there are no problems". "Bravo, even if my grandfather had wheels, it was a train”An elderly wise man from the Lazio province often replied to me when unworkable solutions were presented to him.

The regional transport of Lombardy, Lazio, Campania is made up of millions of Italians who take the train in the same time slot in the morning and in the evening. Millions of workers, in addition to hundreds of out of control "migrants" who move in the directions of big cities. Thus, on Monday May XNUMX, millions of workers will appear on the sidewalks of all Italian railway stations without any kind of health precaution. The brilliant idea of ​​the experts was to mark places on public transport with indicators that indicate where you can sit safely respecting social distancing. But this serves absolutely no purpose when you consider that commuter trains are normally gods cattle wagons in which, as a rule, passengers who make room for pushing, between screams and swearing - and this happens in the true sense of the word - to occupy, standing and resting on each other, the only space available to stay properties to their destination. There is no air, there is no space, there is no control and the solution identified by the super experts would be to indicate the spaces to be occupied or left free? Well, they used to say, "save yourself who can, get by."

Le moms and dads who have so far managed to manage the emergency "schools closed"Keeping the children at home with them, from May XNUMX they will be called to run for cover. The problem is that even in this case, the big problem of managing children in closed schools has been made to fall completely on the shoulders of families. A specific question asked to the President of the Conte Council on the matter, at the end of the electoral press conference held on the last occasion, procured a propaganda response on the new hires of the teachers and on the problems of the school but no details on the solution of the real problems of the management of the children, so much so that the journalist was left speechless and unanswered.

The perception, therefore, but an even worse reality is assumed, is that the government is really groping in the dark and that trust that had been given to it in the closing phase, where all the Italians had diligently respected the security provisions, went to to be blessed with the last intervention. Conte said he took responsibility at the beginning of the last press conference, but it is a pity that responsibility is linked to a risk that affects the contagion of millions of Italians who in the name of economic recovery they could be sacrificed on the altar of collective interest. If other families mourn dead people who will become part of the many statistical numbers without even a photo on a plaque, it is a problem for the Italians, not for the government. You have to start again and be patient if not all the donuts come with a hole, you can't solve all the problems: commuters and families get by. Next in random order and then we'll see.
