It's a risk they have to take.

I watched his statement and he is basically saying they are skint and can't carry on like this with the lockdown.

40, 50, 60 per cent levels of crippling poverty or 2 per cent death rate? That’s the equation.

Alas, this fact is pretty meaningless. As it can take around three weeks to die after being diagnosed with the virus.

Really ?

This must be wrong then

Mr Conte outlined the country’s plan for “Phase Two” of lifting its lockdown on Sunday (26 Apr).

The new rules will see the following restrictions lifted:

- People will be allowed to move around their own regions - but not between different regions

- Funerals will resume, but with a maximum of 15 people attending, and ideally will be carried out outdoors

- Individual athletes can resume training, and people will be allowed to do sports in wider areas, not just in the vicinity of their homes

- Sports teams will be able to hold group training from 18 May

- Bars and restaurants will reopen for takeaway service,rather than just delivery, from 4 May, but food must be consumed at home or in an office

- Hairdressers, beauty salons, bars and restaurants are expected to reopen for dine-in service from 1 June

- More retail shops not already opened under the earliest easing measures will reopen on 18 May along with museums and libraries

Will social distancing measures still be in place?

Mr Conte said that social distancing measures will need to continue for months to come, and urged members of the public to stay at least a metre apart from each other.

He said: “If we do not respect the precautions the curve will go up, the deaths will increase, and we will have irreversible damage to our economy.

"If you love Italy, keep your distance."

im not sure if this is outdated , i know households in tenerife have been allowed to mix this week, someone i know had a playdate with her daughters friend was the first time their child had seen any other kids since the beginning of lockdown

some bars also reopened with 50% occupancy of their terrace allowed and im sure that was in the middle of the day

Maybe depends on the region in Spain, I know you can’t even cross into Murcia from Almeria even if the supermarket is nearer in crossing the border, heavy fine if you are caught. You can only cycle in your own town and walking is just 1km if your house. They have opened some bars in our area of Spain but only to 50% of capacity and outside terrace only. They only allow 2 people to a car and that’s the same household, up until last week one had to sit in the back, both couldn’t sit in the front

I was saying about Spain not Italy as the quote above was about Spain. I am behind with Spain as they did move to Phase 1 on Monday with the restrictions mentioned by the above people

I've just been told to watch the news, instead of arguing any points about lockdown having a worse impact than the virus and I'm selfish for stating that I'd rather risk going out and live my life, I reckon we need too just go into hiding for having an opinion that's different to other people

My sentiments exactly, finding a lot of people are selective about how they car about human life, but think it's time for me to stop, shock horror, stating my opinion, because there are way too many people ready to jump on it and dictate to everyone how they should think, although I do find it amusing being called a tin foil hat wearer by some

6 of one, half a dozen of the other actually.

This can be a fatal illness and it is imperative that we do all we can to.combat it and get our lives back.

However there are a lot of people (on here and in all aspects of our lives) who have turned to paranoid scaremongering.

We need to keep a realistic lid on this. We WONT be social distancing for the rest of our lives, we WONT see pubs and clubs closed for ever.

Of the black death was successfully controlled with the backwards science that was available then, and Spanish Flu was.successfully controlled with much more basic knowledge & techniques than we have now then we WILL succeed against Covid 19.

This is not the time for panic and doom & gloom!

Three weeks now? It used to be two weeks or even a day based on the agenda of whoever is plucking these figures from the air.

Spain went down again yesterday in terms of deaths - 16 days after easing lockdown.

They did have a much stricter lock down to begin with for a good 60-70 days, but also I’ve heard they are taking strict measures about wearing masks whatever they go (something we don’t see here) and taking every precaution possible.

I guess time will tell, but it’s definitely positive to see how they are back to try move forward
