Italy is in the midst of a wicked second wave of Covid. In fact, it makes spring's wave seem like a bump by comparison. Instead of instituting a national lockdown, as they did last spring, Italy's leaders have opted for zoned restrictions, ranging from light restrictions in the yellow zones (Rome, for example), to a nearly complete lockdown in red zones (Milan and Florence, for example). In this mini-episode, Tiffany explains the different restrictions facing different areas of the country, and wonders if they will be enough to flatten this devastating new curve. **This episode was sponsored by Clyde Hill Publishing—partner and publisher for founders, innovators, thinkers, and tinkerers.** -------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
