vi racconto la mia quarantena; dopo 5 ore di controlli all'aeroporto finalmente vengo prelevato ed accompagnato al mio covid hotel, naturalmente a mie spese per 14 giorni. Se fossi stato inglese o proveniente da un paese ad alto rischio sarebbero stati 21 giorni e se avessi voluto fare la quarantena a spese dello stato sarei stato portato a Penny Bay, che mi dicono essere poco meno di una prigione. Durante questo periodo sono stato rinchiuso in una bella stanza al decimo piano senza mai uscire, aprire finestre (avevano tolto la maniglia e avvitate delle staffe di bloccaggio) con aria condizionata e aspiratore del bagno sempre accesi e senza possibilità di regolarli o spegnerli. Tre volte al giorno potevo aprire la porta della camera senza mai uscire per prendere colazione, pranzo e cena che trovavo su un tavolino. Ogni tre giorni avevo un tampone di controllo; mi dovevo mettere alla porta seduto all'interno della camera, il medico mi faceva il prelievo e alle sue spalle una cosa incredibile: un'altra persona con un grosso tubo che soffiava aria per spingere, e tenere all'interno, quella della mia camera...per due volte mi ha chiamato il ministero della salute per sapere i motivi del mio viaggio, da dove ero partito e chiedere se conoscessi 2 persone che erano risultate positive ai controlli e come me partite da Francoforte, seppur in tempi diversi. Per ingannare il tempo ho letto chili di libri e alle ore 18 mi mettevo con il cannocchiale alla finestra per vedere mio figlio, in strada 10 piani più sotto, che tornava dal lavoro e scambiarci un saluto prima dell'abbraccio tanto agognato . Per farci coraggio mia moglie teneva il conto dei giorni con i post it alla finestra e scambiava saluti con altri ospiti in quarantena nei grattacieli difronte, sempre con i post it. Con queste rigidissime misure in quel periodo i contagi erano 2 su >8,000.000 di abitanti; ora leggo sui giornali ancora liberi di scrivere che sono 80.000 (quelli dichiarati). L'aumento dei contagi è avvenuto in corrispondenza dei festeggiamenti del capodanno cinese. Morale della favola: non lamentiamoci per le nostre restrizioni e grazie alle vaccinazioni che ci hanno protetto

Congratulations Benny,
the photo is, unfortunately, very original but I read almost with anguish your exhaustive caption.
Good thing that, at least for you, it is... Over.

Thanks Benedict, the beautiful view was not lacking: landing planes, sports field, schools, offices and others in quarantine in the hotels in front and when evening came from afar the city became an immense crib that lit up .... thanks for visiting and comment and good we, hello

Hi Oleg, the hotel had windows that alternated re-entry and protruded with good viewing spaces. Standing on the edge of the window, never opening it, I enjoyed the spectacle of the lights of the sun bouncing from one skyscraper to another and watching the matches at the field to my left. Thank you for visiting and comment and good we

Hello Paul, it was a difficult and challenging adventure in every sense but I was able to do and live as it was done in the pre-covid era in safety and freedom because everyone, no one excluded, wore the mask. Now unfortunately it is a catastrophe and their rigor without vaccinations is not enough to protect them ... thanks for the visit and comment and good we

;-) Of this shot, and its caption, a poster should be made ... indeed thousands of posters, and then distribute them prominently for the reflection of the too many who lack (even today) awareness! :-(
Applause and a greeting :-)
