Now Emilia Romagna turns orange and closes again Bars and Restaurants. An unscientific shame that must stop!

By now it seems decided: after only three weeks of opening Emilia Romagna, Puglia and Tuscany will return to orange and the restaurants will close again. An incomprehensible decision: it is definitely not safe restaurants that increase infections and I speak first of Emilia Romagna, which I know a little better and where the buses are CROWDED, much more than restaurants, as you can see from these photos taken in the last month:

Another fine example of a Bolognese bus

In your opinion, the infection spreads on these buses full of people and in which many do not have masks on their noses, or in a restaurant where the distance between the tables is at least 1.5 meters and these are not even full?

The reality is simple: not having the courage to hit the real points of contagion, and being too unable to increase the number of places in the hospital for severe cases or in intensive care, then a demagogic and useless measure is taken, but which is paid for by others, just to appease the ox people. I speak of inefficiency in opening covid places with conscience because up to November no region had used the 1.4 billion euros destined for intensive care units.

Honestly, if from Sunday evening the Emilia Romagna restaurateurs decide to stay open anyway, in an act of non-violent civil disobedience, I won't feel like blaming them, on the contrary they are probably right. The Draghi government must find an alternative way to limit infections, perhaps putting a little pepper in the ass for those who organize urban public transport, holding the managers PERSONALLY responsible if they cannot guarantee service and distancing. There are also solutions for restaurants, such as low-cost quick tests (Israelis have developed some) that may be useful. Closing everything is not a solution.

In Genoa many restaurateurs have decided to stay open despite the DPCM of Speranza, as you can see:

Draghi must find alternative solutions, otherwise he will only be a new Count, he and the majority who support him, and the Italians will remember.
