This is a hysteric reaction of an overwhelmed "presidente del consiglio" whose blueprint leaked yesterday causing panic. The subsequent decree which was softened still allows traveling for work and essential things (very unclear) and mentions train and planes still be functioning. But the major of Asti (among others) not being happy about this either, the whole will probably be revised and be valid from tomorrow onward. https://milano.corriere.it/notizie/c...?refresh_ce-cp

The whole will most probably only damage the economy and is very elastic to appease the population. There are no red zones anymore and we have to accept that the virus will sweep through as it will later everywhere in the world.

The Italians are rightly worried about their elderly, the average age of the many deceased is 81 years - an age I would be happy to attain .
