When it really happens: SHTF...

[Ovidio]

Today, my son came back from school and told us: Ma, Dad, I'm in "preemptive quarantine".
- What's that?
- Well, two of my classmates have fever and have been sent home and have undergone a swab. I can't go anywhere until the results will be communicated to the school. But you're ok, you can still live on as usual.
- How come? was my next question.
- Well, we've been told so. But that's not all: I can't go anywhere but to school, answered my son.
And, since I take the bus and the train to go to school, I can still take bus and train.
- Can't you just follow the lessons remotely?
- No. To activate the remote classrooms, there needs to be a "class council" that decides so, and that happens only if someone is Covid-positive and has to undergo the full quarantine. Any other reasons are not considered. And the remote lessons are private for those who are home.
- But wouldn't it be more logical to activate a camera and allow the kids to just follow the normal lessons from home? That would almost be like being there!
- Maybe, but those are the rules...

Gentlemen, the situation is tragic, but not serious...
