This is how the sailors must have felt when, after forty days of waiting, they were finally allowed ashore. For it was only then that the city council of Venice was reassured that the sailors could no longer transmit any scary diseases. We have been waiting for more than forty days to return to ‘normal’ life in the city. But there is no more normal life. There is adapted life. And that’s what we’re doing, for the time being. Because we remain optimistic.
