Certainties - even the most stupid ones - always strengthen, even more in insecurity. The hunters they learn very diligently what is happening in the world at this time, a world as close as it is infected. Lombardy is first and foremost infected, a land of GDP and excellence, stories of entrepreneurs and great innovators, all of whom are now struggling with a great emergency, the COVID-19. Even hunters, from Lombardy and from all over Italy, soberly and diligently hang up the provisions of our Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the latter in search of certainties and solutions in representing a bewildered people struggling with an invisible enemy. Certainties that, even if requested, certainly do not come from Europe, capable of placing constraints, but not of providing economic or health solutions to the Covid-19 emergency. Here Giuseppe Conte, not receiving the hoped-for help beyond national borders, asks the Italian people to support him in the decrees which he must rightly issue in order to cope with an economic epidemiological social war. A task that Giuseppe Conte is doing very well; as well as all the Italian people called to do their part, associating themselves in providing concrete help to also find economic resources for the war against the COVID-19 virus.
Unfortunately COVID-19 it does not look at the social class or the economic tenor, it strikes sneaky, everything and everyone. A virus that originated from one of the economic excellences of the 21st century, China. Thus began the hunt for those who had spread such a lethal virus in Italy, but the answer is none, it has arrived; point. But we are Italian and we always need certainties, so it started here too hunting the greaser, fortunately in a more contained form than in Asia. Also because the Chinese represent a beautiful story of economic and social integration in Italy, because we all know a Chinese barista who hands you coffee with a smile and at the cashier asks you for 80 or 90 cents instead of 1 euro and 20 cents, smile not included. Then the virus settled between us, in completely identical bodies to ours. He shuffled the cards. He suggested that we be wary of the professional from Lodi or the Paduan farmer. White like us, wealthy like us, hardworking like us. Then it will be war of all against all?
Sudden evil breaks into human existence in the company of the absurd. This has always been the case. Even in these days, many respond to the invitations to remain lucid with crazy gestures. The rush to supermarkets, which if it appears understandable in the so-called red areas, elsewhere takes on quite different contours. There is the result of the sum between the fear of what appears as irremediable even before it really is and the neurosis of excess. Supermarket shelves have been emptied not only of the commonly defined basic necessities, but also of those that satisfy discretionary needs. Someone wrote that people shop as if we were at war. Yesterday, during the wars, the population struggled to get food, both due to scarcity and prices that tended to soar. The photos circulating today show instead full trolleys of every benevolence in the face of a state request to fight a war from the invisible enemy, to simply stay calm in one's own home, certain that the food resources are there for everyone.
And so in silence and without too much publicity, THE HUNTERS, criticized by those who do not know them, as always do their part, collect over one million euros, donating everything to health and civil protection, in order to provide concrete tools to fight this invisible enemy.
