Can't imagine being there in lockdown for months

  > Can't imagine being there in lockdown for months We are friends with two separate Italian families who struggled with Covid lockdowns. The first family live in Florence and were stuck in a tiny apartment with two young girls and weren't even allowed to use their building's communal (but private) garden. Fresh air was to be found only on their balcony. The second family live in central Milan, and on the announcement of the first lockdown, fled to an extended family member's house in the countryside, far from the city. The parents described it to the (young) kids as "the unexpected holiday". They ended up ordering toys and bicycles online once it turned out the lockdown wasn't just going to be a couple of weeks. My primary concern about our overall response to Covid is that next time around - and there will definitely be a next time - there will be substantially more suspicion (and hence less compliance), and that doesn't end well.
