As the world grips with the Corona Virus, Italy is hit really hard. One of my dearest Sabretooths Arianna is an event producer, got her Sabretooth fangs in 2012 and Endless Night Muse. She recently became a police officer and when checking on her gave me this letter. She has given permission for me to share with you and our hearts go out to our sorors and fraters in Italy.
Eternally,
Father Sebastiaan

Hello my dear,
Thank you for your message. We are surviving. Me and my parents and my friends are all ok and healthy or apparently so it seems: Covid19 is often asymptomatic and we are starting to test only people that have severe symptoms. This is the reason why it’s so dangerous, most of the times we are unconsciously killing weak people like our parents or grandparents and must stay home! We in Italy have been quarantined for weeks now and cases are more than 20.000 but I am sure other countries will find out more because of their late response. But you know... governments have been hiding truths forever... it’s always a matter of priorities and some countries do not care about their people or humans in general. We are being careful and trying to feel united.
Everyday at 6 pm Italians open their windows or go out on their balconies and sing the national anthem, popular Italian songs or just light a torch and say hello to each others making some noise. Children are home since the end of February, because schools and universities were the first to close. They are painting rainbows and writing “Everything will be OK” and hanging the results from their windows along with the Italian flag. Saturday at 12 pm every Italian opened their windows just to give a long heart-touching clap for all the nurses and doctors struggling in hospitals with crazy and dangerous shifts: they will surely go through PSTD once this is over. It’s a war.
