When it really happens: SHTF...

[Ovidio]

This morning we had a rough wake-up call.
One of my wife’s brothers, still living with his mom due to heavy health problems, yesterday went to his local hospital for a visit. Tested for Covid, he was found positive...
My mother in law (83) was very sick and with fever for at least ten days two weeks ago, but was treated with antibiotics and not tested.
Now, probably, we know what the old lady had...
The problem is that Adele’s brother was the one going out shopping etc.
Now they are all getting crazy to trace his contacts, but in two weeks, in a place crowded as the outskirts of Milan...
What makes me very sorry is that Adele is very close to her mother and, living almost 400 km apart, she now really feels somewhat impotent helping in any way. The good thing is, if her mom really had the damned CV, then she beat that bast’ard, and should now be safe.

On my side, today I took out a nice Galician steak for this evening. Installed a new swingset on one of our trees, had a couple beers and a glass of wine, listened to music, wondered when those pricks governing us will deem it necessary to follow some democratic rules and at least discuss in the parliament what they are doing and why so.
Unbelievably smooth how Italians gave up their freedom...
Makes me think and consider getting somehow “prepped” for possible future similar situations...
Ah, and I looked for a nice SVD40. I found one close to here for 500€ with a repro optic on.
What do you fellow collectors think about such a rig? Shall I abide or not?
