We'll see. Spain already announced "more than 15 days" and Italy doesn't even have an end date. So long as cases are rising, there will be enormous political pressure not to end it, regardless of the economic or societal impacts. As in other things, Italy will show what's coming. Every day that passes, more cracks will emerge. I'm not being Cassandra here, RFalvo69 told us yesterday that it's already starting: quote:
ORIGINAL: RFalvo69 Regarding the lockdown, the situation for those in forced quarantine is (as I expected) deteriorating. The first days were "easy". Yes, apparently hard, but you felt that you were doing your part to help your country, sacrificing your liberties for the greater good (chest beating). Except that we are not even halfway in this emergency, and it would seem that patriotism is a finite commodity. Now I look at Twitter, and the trendings are slowly transiting from (I'm translating) #Istayhome, #firstyourhealththenyourliberty, #IamDredd (regarding those "irresponsibles" they saw in the streets outside the window) to #Governmentofshame, #Contegohome and #Theyjailedus. I guess that they run out of shampoo.
