Ignore the title. It's just a way for me to get people to read this...
Hi everyone! I posted about my italian in-laws coming over unannounced and asked them to stop kissing my baby.
I was both torn apart and supported on these threads...now I'm back to update you all yet again to implore you all to take things very seriously.
I am now in Canada with our baby for a planned trip, booked before the rampant outbreak. I will not be flying back until things settle.
Please please take heed: the situation in Italy is dire.
Socially isolate as much as possible. Don't mix with people. Wash your hands. Stay inside.
All of our friends and family in Italy are fine, but they cannot go outside or visit people. They cannot travel. They cannot see their grandkids. Grandchildren can be asymptomatic carriers and kill their grandparents. 2 week incubation period. Old people are more susceptible. There arent enough respirators for everyone and the doctors have to choose between who to save and who not to. This is NOT fake news! Please, I implore you to socially distance yourselves.
Canada has announced 3 weeks off of school, but they are saying it's an extension of our march break so that people don't panic.
Please stay safe!
