Lockdown.

The people of Italy and Rome have been through many hardships through the centuries and will, I am sure, prevail. I have just been to a supermarket to buy a couple of bottles of wine (I have my priorities right). It was as busy as Christmas with people buying multiple packs of 16 toilet rolls, tinned food etc. These misguided people are creating the very shortages that they are afraid of!

Who knows which strategy is right, if any, only time will tell.

Stay Healthy Annemarie

yes Doug
selfish people everywhere......
and this I find is very sad.....
I think the sell should be regulated to what really is needed and not more.....

Stay healthy you too

all the best

oui vous etes très touchés et je te souhaite de tout mon coeur pour vous une solution efficace pour arrêter l'épidémie,

Mercì Annick..... take care you too

In the 'Lap of the Gods' and 'Politicians' as we say sometimes. Here too, as we drove to our supermarket for a loaf, people in front of us all had 'toilet rolls' -madness - as Doug says above.

Keep safe. Herb

You too, stay healthy!
Thanks

J’espère qu'ils trouveront une Stratégie propre au pays et qui conviendra le mieux ..La prolifération diffère d'un pays a un autre en fonction de sa géographie,(pays chaud,tempéré ou froid),l’évolution n'est pas la même.C'est ce que je pense.
Bon Dimanche mon amie et protège toi bien.

Right!!!

La ville éternelle ....

Superbe vue sur Rome !!!

La température selon un spécialiste que je viens d'entendre la à radio ne fait rien à la limitation de la propagation du virus. Les premiers cas de contagion arriveraient en Afrique... Comme tu le dis Annemarie, l'avenir ne nous appartient plus. Seul solution -en attendant un vaccin qui n'arrivera pas avant de nombreux moi- , le confinement. Moi, je suis quand même allé voter ce matin. La vie continue, tant bien que mal.

moi aussi suis allée voter et il n'y avait pas foule

:(

Composition toujours au top !
Bon dimanche

A lovely image. There is debate everywhere and who knows which of the experts are right. On an individual level all we can do is be kind and do as we would be done by. Take care. I too am old and vulnerable.

Superb image Annemarie, We all need facts rather the hype and scaremongering we are getting, wish you well my friend

Thanks Roger
Take care!

Gucki hätte dich am 3. April besuchen können, aber aus der Reie wird natürlich nichts, das Foto muss ausreichen. Schöne Grüße kommen ohne Viren!

oh .....
hauptsache wri kommen durch.......dann werdebn wir reisen

Alles alles Beste.

take care a lot, Rome is unlasted so its people ytoo, do not go out just for buy things, patience, be wise and resilent

I will try!

A beautifully captured city-scape Annemarie.

I wish I fully understood my country's strategy for dealing with this pandemic..........it seems to change day by day.

Take care :-)

Take care dear keith......be resilient and cautious.

A lovely shot Annemarie. As an old and vulnerable lady who would like to get to be really old I am in favour of lockdowns and stopping travel and big events, - anything for safety, - but it will be what it will be. The selfishness of people saddens and disappoints me somewhat as they do say people pull together and help each other out in emergencies. The people coming out of supermarkets laden with whole trays of tinned foods, rice and toilet rolls shows that for many it is a case of 'Every man for himself', - and this is only the start!

Stay safe and have a good weekend

Yes my friend, I feel exactly like you.

Some days ago I went to buy bread and milk....both run out in few minutes.........
But fortunatly I will back my bread at home and drink ..the!

Lets keep in contact via ipernity......
hugs

Mercì Danielle, take care you also
pas en famille:(

Be careful, keep yourself safe....

Thanks Isabel..... you too!

pour toi bisous,

En attendant des jours meilleurs je te souhaite une agréable soirée en sécurité chère Annemarie.

Our thoughts are with you Annemarie, we too have been given advice for the over 70s to self isolate now for up to 4 months, very worrying !!

I must add your sub note "The future is not ours to see" "Que Sera Sera" was the song I woke up with this morning going round in my head.

In the moment nobody knows what’s right or wrong. That’s the problem. Wish you a good and healthy week. Please take care of you !

Trés belle vue!!!

Yes, I think it lives within our own imagination . . .
Multifaced.
As life.

Excellent shot and good question about approach. Sometimes I wonder even if we take all precautions as recommended, are we really safe. My brother Don had a COVID-19 positive case at his workplace and I've had two. Is it a matter of time for us? What about our immediate families? I'm sure you have the same questions. As for us here in NY, we can only wait since tests still badly lack here and the present criteria make it difficult to impossible for most people to even qualify.

It also doesn't help that some seem amazingly unconcerned and call this "a bad case of the flu" despite pleas from residents of your country and Spain who see first hand how bad this virus is. Do your best and protect yourself and family. Stay healthy.

Dear William
we are one world....... and there is nothing to do except to try to stop the spreadout........and be conscientious!
all the best.
( I love NYC)

Una gran ciudad. Desconozco la diferencia entre 1) y 2)

En tous cas, ce virus n'attaquera pas la qualité de vos photos, Annemarie ! Jolie ville !
Bonne semaine pleine d'espoirs !!!!!

mercì
a safe week ahead!

Wonderful city view.
Stay safe and healthy Annemarie.

Bien belle vue plongeante

Keep safe and well, Annemarie

Schöner Blick über die Stadt

I am with you. Stay strong!

Thanks my friend

Nun ist Deutschland auch im Lockdown und selbst die Briten ändern ihre Strategie allmählich... Lasst uns durchhalten und gesund bleiben!

Ich glaube es ist bessere, alle zusammenzuhalten!!!!
take care

A beautiful city image, Annemarie. This virus certainly will show the effectiveness of different government actions and unfortunately seems to have quite a way to run yet. We're very conscious of the risks and are staying confined as much as possible. Best wishes and stay healthy.

Thanks my friend
take care, yes!

Ein toller Blick auf dir Stadt.
Bleib gesund, Annemarie!

Danke Rainer.

A beautiful view over part of Rome. Now in France we also have the total lockdown! I'm happy to have my books and also a big garden where I have much work. Take care Annemarie.

A beautiful urban view with wide horizons. Cheers, Anton.

Marvellous view!****
