50k Italian restaurants to open against lockdown rules

That will be interesting, neither countries police forces are known for their restraint.

There was a video over the weekend of a restaurant in Italy that had opened with about 30 people inside. Police entered and were met with chants from patrons and left. The video ended so no idea what happened after that.
Obviously the Italians must have different insurances and licensing laws to this country.

If pubs and restaurants tried to do that in this country it would void insurances and licenses would be revoked.

True, but what would happen if 50k did it at the same time?
 
Wouldn't be surprised if this happened in Spain too, I know quite a few cafe/restaurant owners and they're even more disillusioned and faithless in their government and their restrictions than us Brits are!

It couldn't ever happen. Too many components would need to all work together at the same time. Plus businesses that have followed the rules up to this point and have spent hundreds and some even thousands on making things 'covid secure' would lose everything.

Speaking to a few connections around the country we are all in agreement that we predict we will be back open in March/April under Tier 2 type restrictions and back open normally end of May.

Edit - I see hospitality is still been blamed by some on here even though we've been heavily restricted or even shut since September.
 
I despair at humanity at times, whilst also being in wonder at the way that it can gather such support to simultaneously shoot itself and its fellow brethren in the foot in its hour of need.
I get people are fed up, but you don’t make life better by accidentally killing a few folk while you down a pizza and a glass or two of Montepulciano

It gets worse just saw the latest news on who has been fined at the weekend, one party claiming they don’t watch the news so weren’t aware of the pandemic and another gender reveal party ffs!

Everything that could possibly be wrong there, is.

And those from hospitality, which across some of the worst hit areas was open until Christmas, being in Tier2, continue to deny that the virus spreads indoors.

I had a call from my brother in December from a packed boozer in central London. He was in there for 8 hours, his meals were two Scotch Eggs and a sausage roll.

Not everywhere has taken the same precautions. Offices and hospitality are places where the virus spreads. The social club I use and the company I work for have been centres of the spread.
 
Can understand why a lot of patrons will do it , it’s kind of what the hell ( proverbial ) or bust .
So may as well make a last stand as how can they be detrimentally punished insofar as they’re going to lose everything anyway . Might as well go fighting ( probably literally).
