“We have been very rigid with the use of masks in enclosed spaces and where physical distancing is difficult to maintain. We also gradually eased the lockdown. So having rigid rules today represents real liberty, normality comes with following the rules and not following them, in my opinion, is contrary to future freedom.”

He added that the long and tough national lockdown, which prevented the devastating outbreak in the north being replicated in the south, as well as an effective testing and tracing system, has enabled Italy to avoid the drastic resurgence of the virus seen in places like Frances, Spain and the UK.

Hey guys! I’m back after being away for two weeks (the reason why I haven’t been posting) plus! the heavy load of online class requirements is just so—draining….ughh. But! this week, I just turned 20! yay! and I figured out I should post something.

“Cuando cortas los árboles asaltas los espíritus de nuestros antepasados. Cuando buscas minerales, atraviesas el corazón de la Tierra.
