An American woman in Italy has advice for life under countrywide quarantine: Follow the rules

American Cristina Higgins lives with her family in Bergamo, near Milan, and on Friday she told CNN's Erin Burnett that existing in a country with a mandatory lockdown is like"living with dread."Confined to their homes, Italian neighbors sing together to boost moraleOnly supermarkets and pharmacies windows are open. Only one person from each household can go on a shopping run. Police write tickets for people who are out wandering.

It could learn a thing or twoHe went to the supermarket Monday, an eerie place where it was strangely quiet -- no children -- and people were suspicious. At least everything was still available.Life is highly controlled by government rules. People must fill out a form explaining why they have gone out. Not everyone is adhering to the rules, she said. A woman in her community who has Covid-19 went out in public the other day."It's very difficult.

We are trending to 45,000 cases in 10 days. Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is insanity. Stay home & wash hands. coronavirus

My God, people here act like they can't stay home for the most part on the front side of this thing. We're so special, so self-centered, can't be inconvenienced or alter our routines. Can't buy only what we need so there's enough for everyone. Disgusting.

Thank you for airing. This interview was so powerful and heart-breaking. Hope this woman and her family are holding up well... 🙏

Honey child, look for worse to happen in the U.S., if this keeps up. I sense martial law before too long. My gut is telling me this whole thing was designed this way. Kills several birds with one stone. Conditioning. Somebody on a high horse is really thinking, I say.

Italy’s response: return to faschism (if it ever died)

She's really in the hot zone. I wish her and her family well.

Viviamo così per colpa dei CINESI e del loro pestifero corona virus. Invece di raccontare bugie dite la verità.

For some of us normal. So get some perspective

The fear in her eyes...it was truly heartbreaking :((. It always makes me wonder WHY we only care when we see people suffer...we should ALWAYS care.

The actions by governments to prevent the spread of Covid-19 appears necessary. I pray this can be contained and we never see a virus that cannot be contained. The Spanish Flu killed at least 20M, the Plague 100M+ amongst others, the effects would be devastating. 🙏

The terrible thing is not the infected number but the fact that still many people refuse to wear masks! Why are you afraid of masks? Masks save people, you hate. Guns kill people, you like.

I can vouch. I'm in the same position here in Vicenza, Italy. I can leave to go to the store tomorrow as long as I have a form. I'll be stocking up on wine. Lots of wine. Lol.

Trump can't even get Americans toilet paper you think he can get you tests

First mistake... this 'American' decided to live in Italy. If you leave the country of Milk and Honey, you have to put up with the 'w-hine' and vinegar. Think twice before you move.

I think it is best to close the borders of the countries because right now we are going through a very critical moment in health so the health of the inhabitants is a priority 🤓

Why would you make a cake every single day? So weird.

You can be set free from the fear of death..U can receive the Holy Spirit into your soul and be born again and know truth and know you have eternal life..U can know the living God Jesus Christ and be saved from hell and have ursins covered with his blood and have life CallonJesus
