Frankly, I expected that these measures will be extended to the entire country not later than by the end of the week. We're still in the exponential growth phase.
I am not sure you are right in assuming the leakage was unintended, though. If they wanted people to run, the effective way was to force a choice under the imminent and vague threat of being trapped in the ‘red zone’.
In a major west coast city and trying to think through when to leave. Too early better than too late but I don’t have a cabin in the mountains so it will be a significant cost to hide out for a month.
Two examples:
"Nothing to worry about, it is just a little more than a regular flu" (Attilio Fontana, Governor of Lombardia)
"#milanononsiferma" (Giuseppe Sala, Major of Milano)
The restrictive measures themselves are hardly enforceable, with some very important exceptions, e.g. schools. Hopefully, they would induce some change in habits.
I am from Milano, and my daily life has certainly been affected. I left the city two weeks ago. It was easy for me, though, as I can distance teach and I have a place in the mountains.
