An Italian's Insight: Life Under Lockdown During the Pandemic

Economically, that's going to be crazy, for sure, because imagine my business down the tour. I work in the tourist business and everything is shut down. Few businesses are open, like, for example, my father, though as a factory he might work, but for responsibility, the sign of responsibility, he decided to close at least for A Week, because, according to the government, this is going to be The Worst Week of the virus. I'm leaving the situation on one side, of course, I'm worried because of the economy, the business. So so you worry about button either side.
Picture yourself in the heart of Italy, a country known for its vibrant culture and bustling tourism, suddenly brought to a standstill by a global pandemic. In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads sits down with Nunzio Paulo De Martino, an Italian businessman, to delve into his firsthand experiences of living through a nation-wide lockdown. Nunzio's story is not just about the immediate impacts but also the ripple effects on various facets of life in Italy.
He opens up about the dramatic downturn in the tourism industry, with his own tour business facing unprecedented cancellations and financial strain. Beyond the economic hit, Nunzio sheds light on the hurdles in accessing healthcare during such a critical time and how the lockdown has unexpectedly influenced the environment. This conversation is raw and real, providing a window into the human side of the pandemic that statistics often miss.
