    The lack of closure must be one of the most painful aspects of this pandemic and it appears to be worst in Italy. Prayers for you, your country, and the rest of the world!

    @Farwen Fransesca, I've viewed this thread a few times, but waited to comment because I felt a loss for words. I still feel that. I chose an image instead of more words.
    You matter.
    Italy matters. Prayers matter and they are being sent to your people and your land.

    I'm so sorry - I can't imagine. Praying for you, your country, the whole world. And staying home.

    Thank you for this heartbreaking message, Francesca. We all need to hear this, since some of us still aren't taking this threat seriously enough.

    From my country (Canada) to you and your beautiful country, I thank you, and I mourn with you.

    Francesca, I can't say anything to you that hasn't already been said. I'm so sorry. Please stay safe. In Illinois, in the United States, we will soon be in a "Shelter in Place" mode, goes into effect today at 5 p.m.

    Please take care.

    @Farwen I have read an article just today about the situation there and about the many people dying alone without their families even knowing where they died, when they died, where they were buried...it is so terribly tragical and sad, there are no words for it.

    Prayers and big hugs to you!

    I'm glad my governor is learning from Italy. We had so many people taking vacations to Las Vegas since flights were cheap. Closing the casinos sucks big time for our economy, but I believe it'll save lives.

    I'm sorry Italy had to be the example. I hope other places pay attention to this tragedy.

    We are paying attention here in New Zealand and are about to go into lockdown in less than 48 hours for the next four weeks. My three children and I have three weeks left until we have to move from our rented home. I don't have a new place signed up, rent has increased so much I can't afford it! Thankfully the government will help with emergency housing for the kids and I, but not sure about all the logistics while we are in lockdown.

    My heart breaks for your country, I pray this will be behind all of us soon.

    I’m paying attention and praying for Italy. I’m so sorry - this is just so hard to fathom.
