Thousands of Italians are in quarantine at home and therefore there are many closed shops.
Restaurants and hotels are empty and risk bankruptcy.
A mask is mandatory on the street and in closed places.
There is a strange atmosphere. People all have sad and worried faces.
There is a campaign of discrimination and denigration against those who are not vaccinated which leads to thinking and saying very unpleasant things against what they call "no vax".
Think that today in Italy those who have done up to the second dose of vaccine are called "no vax". So even those who have been vaccinated but have not taken the last dose are a "no vax".
I have tried to best summarize what is happening but the reality is worse.
Just an observation understanding that causation and correlation are not the same.
I spent xmas in a cabin with my parents and siblings.
Everyone got the rhona....well almost everyone.
I got it. two boys and wife got it (confirmed with test). My step-dad got it.
We are all v@xed. My shots were in October and my stepdad just had the booster last month and he was so bad that he was taken into surgery and is currently in the urgent care wing of the Ball Memorial Hospital.
My unv@xed mother is five years older than my step-dad and only had the sniffles. She was over it in a day. My unv@xed sister - yep, she did NOT get it at all.
So....on a personal level....the record in our family for those with the jab is less than underwhelming.

That was beautiful!! I stared at the picture for about 20-30 seconds then read your comment!
I love it!
Perfect!
I won't be 'looking', but instead I'll be 'watching' while death (these curses you've tried to release upon an innocent group of people--the unvaccinated) come upon you, sir!
