When it really happens: SHTF...

Just to teach us all how it is possible not to learn from others. I think one country should have sufficed in terms of mistakes, but I’m slowly starting to think that we only took the lead in a worldwide competition...

Thank you so much for your daily reports from Italy Oviedo, you have given us far more consistent information than the various news feeds!

The proverbial sticky stuff has just hit the fan here, day one of lock down and you can hear a pin drop in my usually busy town..

The Police need to be ready to to put the boot in were nessasary, the idiots usually just ignore them here...

Out with the tazer boys.....

Thanks, Mr. Clark.
I just report exactly what I see and experience here, plus, every now and then, the feelings one has being in such a situation.
The silence is the first thing one notices, isn't it?
You'll soon be missing the vicinity of people, handshakes, a beer or glass of wine with someone slapping you on the shoulder...such, now I really understand it, priceless things.
But I'm very glad that this thread, which started just to "vent" a bit, seems to be helping people feel a tad less unprepared. And maybe also less alone.
That is really a very big satisfaction.
The fact that my own personal DEFCON still remains at 3 is very good news for me.
I was prepared to raise it to 2, but there is really no need at all for it. Not now...

Its fair to say, the WORLD will be a different place when this is all over. Kissing and shaking hands will, I think take a secondary place in future!!

Gil...I really hope not. I’m not the stereotypical Italian who hugs and kisses everybody, but a nice, strong and friendly handshake, and a slap on the shoulder, are just so good to give and receive...
I’d be sad if people got even more distant than they already are.
