What's it like under lockdown? Are there shortages of things in the shops when you go out to buy food?
First define lockdown.
You are not allowed to exit apart for going to work and groceries (supermarkets are open).
You have to carry a piece of paper to exhibit to the police in case they stop you (typical italian: more laws, more piece of paper, no substantial controls). [...]
, thank you for the ground report of conditions in your country.
FYI, this was totally hypothetical:
- ✔ Government control of food supplies
- ✔ Government control of both local and long-distance travel
- ✔ Arbitrary lockdowns
- ✔ Direct government control of each individuals body, under the rubric of e.g. healthcare
- ✔ Arbitrary, peremptory government orders of any kind whatsoever
- Total government control of communications*
(* In my nightmare, this has not yet started; thus, I would still be able to post this message. The worst part of my nightmare is when I discover that dissent is so marginal amidst the mass-panic, the government finds it unnecessary to control communications.)My best wishes for your survival. (And I am not only, or even primarily speaking of the virus. Well, that, too.)
