Ugh - I just wrote this long post that got eaten.
Anyway, I'm on lockdown with my family (husband and two kids) in a small-ish apartment, which, unfortunately doesn't have any outside space. We're allowed out one person at a time to buy groceries, go to the pharmacy, go to work (if not teleworking) and walk the dog (we don't have a dog though). Theoretically, we are also allowed to go out alone for a walk or run but all the parks are closed and the rules on this are not very clear. I went for a walk on Friday evening though by myself and it was nice to be out. i'm working full time from home and my husband works in tourism and all his work dried up so he's home.
We've been taking our kids up onto the roof once a day or so for some air. I've seen a few neighbors up there but we keep our distance. At 6 pm every day everyone stuck in their apartments blasts music and sings from their balconies of windows. The playlist changes every day but they're mostly Italian songs. This is really important for us psychologically. It's only day 5 and I'm finding it hard not sure how it will be at day 15 or 25. Up in the north of Italy they've been locked down for much longer than us.
Italians are famous for flouting rules but everyone seems to be following these ones as we all know how desperate the situation is. We're all amazed at how naïve people in other countries seem to be about this virus although recently some other countries seem to have realized the severity.
