Luca Fantuzzi Discusses His Experience Witnessing the Effects of the COVID-19 Outbreak

Luca Fantuzzi is an Italian citizen who has recently returned to Italy from the US in light of the coronavirus outbreak. Italy is one of the countries most strongly affected by the outbreak, and Fantuzzi has gone back to be with family. In this episode, he discusses his recent experiences traveling and observing how this outbreak has affected Italy.

Top three takeaways:

1. Fantuzzi had some family friends who recently contracted the virus, and it was at this point that he realized the gravity of this situation. You understand best the effects of the outbreak once it affects you or someone in your family.
2. This is an interesting situation in that some people are effectively displaced from work, whereas others are working twice as hard, in particular people in the healthcare industry. This ultimately depends on your profession and whether it is considered "essential business".
3. The best thing to do in this situation is stay home and not interact with too many people. Staying home is the best way to be "generous" and help in this situation. Even though this means not going and hanging out with friends, it is much more beneficial to just stay home and spend time with family.
