Lock Down The Twenty-Fourth Day

The 24th day, by the way the lock down has been extended till the 13rd of April.
Morning looked out from the balcony, found out that there were 'a lot' of people at the bus stop, a total of about 8, 9 persons. Under usual circumstances, this amount is normal, nowadays, this is the largest amount I have seen in the last 24 days.


Perhaps these are the people who are needed to go to work also during the lock down.



Afternoon, had to go to a pharmacy nearby to get a medicine, since the usual paharmay had no stock and not sure when it will arriave. Luckily, after some searches, found this paharmacy which had the medicine in the afternoon.


Put on jacket, scarf, mask and gloves, filled up the self certication form, ready to head out.
Out on the street with a bit of worry, anxious, panic and a bit disturbed. The empty street does feel weird.


There was no queue at the paharmacy, earlier on, a man with white mask had just stepped out from the paharmacy. He walked past me, both of us moved a bit to maintain a certain distance. We exchanged glance, with not much concern.
Out from the pharmacy, headed toward the main road, a girl was standing beside the traffic light, waiting to be indicated when she could cross the empty, carless road.



Opposite under the arcade, the only shop opened for business was the one selling fresh fruits and vegetables. Two women were queuing up for their turns.
Does fear make people more obedient to rules, or is it during a crisi, people feels more responsible?



Location : Via Mercanti/Via Pietro Micca/Piazza Solferino

I think a crisis does bring out responsibility, in most of us.
