There is a light at the end of the tunnel ?
By Massimo Usai
We have seen Army trucks bring bodies to cremate away from cities.
There was no longer any place in the crematoriums in the area.
Who would have thought in his life to see such a thing?
In Europe? In Italy?
It was known that sooner or later, such a thing would happen but you are not prepared when it happens. It seems to be part of a Sci-fi movie.
But wasn’t a movie.
It is also distressing to realize that if you get any disease and you need the hospital, they will reject you, living you with more fear.
You can’t go to meet friends, the family is far away and spread in the world.
Borders are closed like every country is at war to each other.
You have to live with the idea that if a family member got the virus or anything else, you have to leave him alone. Even if he were on the verge of death.
Our life changed in an instant, just between February and March. And who knows how long this feeling of fear and tension will last?
Hoping there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
I missed my loved ones, and I still miss them, and I know that when I see them again, I will be afraid to hug them.
The video calls with them, with hours and hours of video chat but you feel are not enough.
I would like to wish you a good day now that it seems that life in Europe is slowly recovering, but is it possible?
In the rest of the world, the virus is doing more harm than it did in Europe.
We are not even sure that the dead are truly officially declared.
Them economical and health situations not up to our European standards and so many countries are under a dictator.
People who prefer not to show the real numbers of infections and deaths to keep the population, not in a panic, does not bode well for the final number of victims.
Writing on the blog, while everything was creaking around was a challenging undertaking.
Still, it is the only foothold I had to go on, which made me wake up early, and which injected me with adrenaline.
Today I went out, some shopping, I took the Underground, and I took a coffee in a bar, and it all seems over.
You go out into the street, and nothing seems to have happened.
Still, I have a feeling of fear. I still feel that shiver when someone passes me by.
I put on my mask and try to face the world. I hope I am still capable of it.

Brexit: Le “sorprese” che non sorprendono tutti.
By Massimo Usai Senza troppe sorprese da parte di chi lo diceva da quattro anni, I pescatori scozzesi non possono vendere il frutto delle loro pescate in Europa a causa dei ritardi amministrativi associati alle nuove norme sul commercio tra il Regno Unito e l’UE. Il problema è che i ritardi significano che quando il […]
Viaggiare sicuri
By Massimo Usai È di ieri la notizia che all’aeroporto di Heathrow, nel 2020, il business è sceso del 78%, se pensate che per tre mesi la situazione era normale, potete ben capire che questo numero. Già di per sé, spaventoso, è ancora più drammatico. Ora, con la distribuzione dei vaccini, se tutto va come […]
Already Five Years
By Massimo Usai Five years after that day, I was awakened by the terrible news of the White Duke’s departure. It was a surprise, for me as well as for the whole world. No one knew anything about his illness and his album just released two days earlier, it was too fresh to read between […]
Everyone’s Life
By Massimo Usai I fear that the Institutions and Doctors’ noble idea of convincing No Vax to get vaccinated through scientific arguments are in vain. The No Vax have no scientific opinions to oppose, being graduates of the university “of the street”, masters of themselves, the last of the rebels, informed through social networks videos. […]
La Carta Stampata e i Dischi in Vinile per riprenderci in Mano le Sensazione Positive della Vita
By Massimo Usai Non affrettate le cose. Potrebbe essere il mio motto. Per questo ho ripreso fortemente a rileggere libri e a navigare meno sui social networks. Libri e giornali su carta stampata. Li prendo in mano, sfoglio, odoro la carta, guardo le foto a dimensione maggiore che sul mio Mac Book, che ha assunto, […]
Happy New Year – It’s Been a Roller Coaster of a Year.
ITALIAN VERSION FELICE ANNO NUOVO – E’ STATO UN ANNO MOVIMENTATO, COME STARE IN UN OTTO VOLANTE Chi di noi, a volte, non ha voluto fermare il viaggio sull’otto volante? Se solo avessimo potuto, ne saremmo scesi senza pensarci due volte. Oppure premere in avanti il tasto del nastro della video cassetta che racchiudeva lo […]
What if my shaving cream was responsible for all this chaos? /E se il responsabile di tutto questo caos fosse solo la mia schiuma da barba?
by Massimo Usai This morning, right after the shower, I was trying to reflect on what 2020 was. My attention immediately shifted to the shaving cream I was supposed to use it. Just a year ago, I was going to celebrate New Year’s Eve, down in Sardinia. In the morning I had gone for some […]
The Best Music of 2020
by Massimo Usai Yes, it was a beastly year. A year that runs through history in an impetuous and different way from many critical years for some peoples rather than others is the year of mass suffering globalization. Everyone in every corner of the hemisphere had (and continue to have) the exact same problem: the […]

By Massimo Usai Caro Gesù, Forse ti può sembrare strano ricevere una lettera dal sottoscritto, ma vedo che tutti lo fanno, cosi voglio provare a vedere cosa si prova e che vantaggi possa portarmi, se lo faccio pure io, in questa giornata di festa. Lo so bene che tutti ti scrivono o ti pregano perché’ […]
