Speaking of Italy and the confinement order, here’s a conversation I had a couple of hours ago with two cops, as I was stopped while I was doing my evening walk.
I live in a pretty isolated neighborhood, the street isn’t lighted at night, there’s barely and sidewalk, and you normally don’t see any people around there.
A police car drives by and pulls over to my side of the road.
A cop says, with a sarcastic tone, “where’d you hide the coke?”
– huh?
– where do you live?
– 200 m from here, not even
– why are you outside?
– just out for a walk, is it not allowed?
– absolutely not.
– ehmmm, actually the order says physical activity is allowed if not in group.
– don’t tell me about laws or I’m gonna take you to the police station. I know about laws better than you do
– well then you should know I’m allowed to go out for a walk as long as I’m alone, it’s literally in the government FAQ page
– why would you go do physical activity at this time? (It was 10pm)
– there is not a set time for training, and I think it’s wiser to go out at this time since I’m unlikely to bump into anyone since nobody else is around?
–… Okay, go for your walk.
And off the drove.
Bottom line is, when I go out for a brisk walk with my tank top, shorts, and earphones, I look like a drug dealer.
A cop says, with a sarcastic tone, “where’d you hide the coke?”
– In your mother’s ass.
– where do you live?
– The White House.
– why are you outside?
– I’m going to fuck your sister. Is that not allowed?
– absolutely not.
– ehmmm, actually the order says physical activity is allowed if not in group. Two people are a couple not a group.
– don’t tell me about laws or I’m gonna take you to the police station. I know about laws better than you do
– That’s why you make the best thieves.
– why would you go do physical activity at this time? (It was 10pm)
– I thought you’d be busy sucking your partner’s cock.
–… Okay, go for your walk
My younger sisters are twins. Ones a doctor at KU Med and the other is a charge nurse in a cancer unit in Omaha Nebraska. The NYT actually wrote an article about the place in Nebraska and how they are working with COVID. They didn’t exactly have easy jobs before this but the crunch for people like them in the fields that are truly essential during a crisis will be severe.
We actually had a family vacation planned that we cancelled when this thing looked like it may get hairy in the states as both didn’t want any potential of being away from their jobs.
Like I mentioned, everybody is gathering on their balconies and doing flash mobs, singing, playing etc.
The other day I saw a video of a guy getting out to his balcony, then he started yelling to the freaking top of his lungs, “DOES ANYBODY HAVE SOME WEED? SOME WEED PLEASE? I JUST WANT SOME WEEEEEEED”.
Come to think of all of the things that have happened so far (people getting pissed at a cop and coughing to their face, people getting pissed at a doctor and spitting in their face, people spitting on fruit, people positive to the virus going around like it’s nothing, and so on)… Is it just my impression or do we look like a population that, no matter how hard it tries, just can’t take anything seriously and avoid making a fool of itself? I really start to understand why so many memes on Italy in general. We are fucking dick clowns (cit).
