99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Hi everyone, I'm Barbara.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm here in Veneto, in North Italy,

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it's been exactly one week that I'm in a quarantine

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at my own home.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've been posting and making videos about

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
coronavirus and how it spread and I was there

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
three weeks ago when it all started in Vo.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since then I've got a lot of questions, so I thought I'm going to answer them,

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I also asked you on Instagram.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The first question is: "Can you go outside?"

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The answer is yes and no.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can go outside.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The rules are not really strict, but also not really obvious,

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so we can go out for example,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the pharmacy or to make groceries.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We can do everything which are...

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we can say emergency actions.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Like, for example, doing sports,

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so like jogging,

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or having a walk--like older people are usually having walks in Italy--

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you can do it but it happened for example

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one of my friend told me like Innapoli there was an older man

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the policeman asked him "what are you doing?"

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and he said "well you know ahh just walking"

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they sent him home

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so it's uh, so the policeman can stop you and ask you to

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to go home.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Uhhhhh

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A lot of people are asking about

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhhh

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if there will be any food. Theres enough food.

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the basic things are still working

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so there are groceries and there are like vans who are coming and going

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they are bringing

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhh

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the food and the supplies

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with masks and you know, gloves.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The trashhhh uh, the trashmen are coming

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so the basic needs are are happening

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so yes, there will be enough food.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you don't have to worry about that one.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of times I saw this question

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when will it be over?

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ummmm

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we don't know that yet. And that's the whole problem.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You know, in all of Italy

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In all of Europe, and all around the world

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we dont know when its going to

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ha- uhhh

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to be over.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The numbers are still going up

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like really

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the numbers are really high. every day

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there's like hundreds of new people who are uhhh

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
checking in because they have the symptoms

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So the problem is that we don't know when its going to be over.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its difficult to say at this point.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another question is connecting to this one.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why the numbers are high in Italy?

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The whole thing started in Italy because of three things

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of them is the tourist. In Italy the tourism is really really strong and big

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Everyone loves to go here

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
obviously because it's one of the most beautiful places

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and fantastic places on earth. But everyone likes to come here

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so a lot of people come here.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so that's why it started here. And then people started

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to spr-

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to mooove

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and go back to there own country

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and started to spread

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The second reason is because

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
this is a really old country

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the average

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhhhh

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
life age

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhh

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is eighty....eighty-five years old

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so people dies in average eighty

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
eighty-five years old

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is really really high

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and this means theres a lot of

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really old people here

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they are the ones who

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we need to be care.. cared about

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because they got the virus really easily

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and its dangerous for them.

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the third one is that I think it because

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhh

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the italians are having

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a really like small distance between

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
each other

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, for example norther countries

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like uhh

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Norwegian or Swedish people

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they are keeping

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
one..one-half meter distance

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
between each other

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
when they are talking

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Italians...for Italians its like

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
20 centimeters

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so the distance is really really small

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which means

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
its very easier to get the virus

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so i think that's the third reason.

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what is the reality of life 
under the lock down?

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ummmmmm

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have to say it's quite

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhh

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
quite the same.

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I do quite the same things

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as I usually do

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Its because I'm an artist

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I'm reading a lot

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I'm painting, I'm working

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm editing videos.

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I'm doing kinda the same

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhhh

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the only weird thing is that

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I dont

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
uhhh

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I dont I dont go out

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and that is..like we cant

124
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
got out and for now it's fine

125
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but it will be at one point

126
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it will be difficult.

127
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I;m lucky because I have my

128
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
boyfriend and his father here

129
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so I'm not really alone but

130
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
meeting with other people is going to

131
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm going to miss it at one point

132
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now I'm really fine with it

133
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Im talking with a lot of people

134
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I talk with my frieeeenddss on skyyyype

135
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and and you know, video chats.

136
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So that is really cool. You can keep
communicating

137
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and you know I was thinking about

138
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
make some wine talk with my friends

139
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
through skype, so I think uh

140
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you know that can that can work.

141
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But yeah its weird to be

142
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to be in sweatpants all the time

143
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but a-a again I usually I do this all 
the time

144
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sylvia <i>gibberish</i> is asking

145
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do you make stock-stockplies 
of food and medicine?

146
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Are supermarkets open?

147
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I ready that it some towns people

148
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are not allowed to leave their apartment.

149
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
True. We have a lot of food now.

150
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just yesterday we had groceries

151
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and we are making, we try to make it

152
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
every second week to go to groceries,

153
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so we are not going there every day.

154
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Medicines we have some kind of
medicines,

155
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like for headache, for stomach-ache, 
for fever,

156
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so the basic ones, we have them, yes.

157
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Supermarkets are open, as I said.

158
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Another question from Yamato Domoshete,

159
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Why don't you immigrate to Hungary?" Oh, ok.

160
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Italy has once again entered a difficult time,

161
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it will take a long time to recover."

162
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I answered him wrong when I wrote 
back to him,

163
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but ok now I understand the question.

164
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't want to go back to Hungary

165
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because at the first part when 
there

166
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
was no one who was infected 
in Hungary,

167
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
no one had the virus in Hungary,

168
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I decided not to go because I

169
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
didn't want me to be the one

170
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who brings the virus there.

171
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I had this warm nationalism
feeling

172
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
inside of me that I have to

173
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
protect my nation, and I was like,

174
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ok, I'm not going to Hungary, 
because

175
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what if I have the virus,

176
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I don't want to bring it to them,

177
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I didn't want to be that person,

178
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so that was my first thought,

179
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and then I didn't want to go there

180
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because I thought the healthcare
in Hungary

181
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is way worse than the Italian one,

182
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so it's one person minus,

183
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so if I get sick, I don't, you know,

184
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
occupying a bed there from 
someone else,

185
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and also I didn't want to leave

186
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my boyfriend here alone,

187
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because he's writing his thesis
now,

188
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and he's also working at the
same time,

189
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so he's really overwhelmed,

190
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I just want to be next to him

191
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to help him.

192
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You everything asks, "Are you prepared?"

193
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Will you get food shipped in?"

194
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I am praying for you here in Ohio."

195
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, thank you!

196
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've got a lot, a lot, a lot of different
messages

197
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and comments from you guys

198
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from all around the world,

199
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I have to tell you that

200
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it warms my heart so much,

201
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because it, it's coming from 
really everywhere,

202
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I got messages from different 
parts

203
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from America, from Australia,

204
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from China, someone wrote
from

205
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Scotland, from the Netherlands,

206
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
someone even wrote me from

207
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Nigeria, so, I'm really getting a lot

208
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of messages from you, and you know,

209
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asking how we are, and I really,

210
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really hope that you don't have to go

211
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
through all of this, even though

212
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't feel that it's so bad,

213
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
if I can say that, in my life,

214
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I didn't have to experience
wartime,

215
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or any kind of horrible diseases

216
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that, you know, kills, which kills

217
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
my family, and [inaudible]

218
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of people in the past

219
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
experienced this, so I think staying

220
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
at home for a couple of weeks

221
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is not a big sacrifice.

222
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Epstein didn't kill himself asks,

223
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"How old are the people who
have died?"

224
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I have to check exactly the

225
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thing, because I am not sure

226
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
about the exact numbers,

227
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but I know that most of them

228
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are over 60 years old.

229
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ok, so let me see the Instagram
questions.

230
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
kikikiksky, kikikiksky, kikikiksky is 
asking,

231
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"How is the current situation?"

232
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"Hope any better news."

233
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, thanks, and unfortunately
not,

234
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the numbers are still going

235
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
high, higher and higher, so

236
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
eventually there is no good

237
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
news now, and I think that we

238
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
will be on the top I think one week

239
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from now, and then it will go down.

240
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If someone has the virus

241
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and doesn't show any symptoms

242
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from 5 days to 11, which means

243
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that before the quarantine,

244
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a lot of people met, so those 
people

245
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were still spreading the virus

246
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so I think when the Prime Minister

247
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
asked for the quarantine,
