I write this message to all my friends, I believe that we are all in a difficult time, that you can overcome only by being close to each other. We have been locked in the house for two months now, each of us missing someone, but despite everything we must always think positive.
The sooner we can defeat this virus, as soon as possible we can embrace each other and spend days together having fun. I know it’s hard for everyone, but together we can do it.
So each of us has special people close to him who will always be by his side,  and in this moment I hope we must be more than ever.

Hey you! Listen to me, my friends! I want to tell you something very important about the present time. It's a hard one. Everyone is worried and stressed.The restrictions and the social distancing make our lives very different from before. Our friends are far from us, no music, no sports, no dancing, no social life, no school, no freedom.  We must organize our lives as if we were in a new world. Our enemy, the terrible Corona virus is invisible and it can infect all of us   and unfortunately we don't know how to fight and destroy it.
But we must be positive. We are the new generation: we are strong  and the big  change in our behaviour will help us to survive and face the new society we will find at the end of this pandemic. If we follow the restrictions fixed by our politicians, doctors and scientists we willl make it. We are full of energy and new ideas. Scientists say that young people are less affected by the virus, so if we behave properly we'll be ready. It doesn't matter where or when it will happen: we all be there!

So it’s not an easy period for my generation, we are young, we are used to hang out with friends, take a drink in the centre of Carpi, and I could tell other things. But now we can’t do that, there’s an enemy outside, his name is Coronavirus. In my opinion, we are in this situation especially because there were people who were thinking: ”Yeah, it’s only a flu, no problem” or “We are young, we won’t die for this”.

So now, we are in this situation, and I’m even lucky because my dear ones and I are fine, but there are a lot of people that are suffering a lot due to the mistake of these not very intelligent (stupid) people.

We would all have to say “Thank you” to the doctors that are working day and night to overcome this pandemic, usually we are not thankful, but they are the real heroes at the moment.

One day, I hope soon as possible, we will be able to go back to normal life, for example even go to the park, take a Spritz with our friends, go for a walk in the city centre, all things that seemed to be banal, but now are banned.

What I miss the most is meeting my friends out of school, before the lessons, we were able to speak about what we wanted before our boring five hours of lesson(not all-English lessons are not boring). I used to joke with them; Every morning I used to say:”I want to go home”, just to laugh a bit. Now I should be happy, because I’m always at home, but now I’ve understood that I’m missing going to school too.

Hey you! People of the future, I have a very important message for you! We are currently in April 2020 but this situation will probably continue for a while longer. To explain, there is an ongoing pandemic and we are going through a huge stop. The economy is badly damaged and thousand of people have died. All this because of a virus that we firstly considered a simple flu. It is precisely for this belief that we all had, that the situation was not taken seriously from the beginning and especially after seeing what China went through before all of us, we should have taken the right precautions from before. My intent is to make it clear that a problem should never be underestimated, especially when we know that it has caused serious damage elsewhere and also to prevent the problem from spreading and avoid making the situation difficult to manage, thus facilitating the help that can be given to those who need it, because the surface on which we will have to concentrate will be less.
I am saying this because the whole world is going through a very difficult time, but I am sure that we will return to breathe our freedom.

This is a strange period.  I don't want to talk to someone in particular because my dears and my friends know how much I miss them. I’d like to talk to those small moments that I had before this period. Staying at home I understood how much I miss some tiny things that before I didn’t apreciate. I can remember those laughs with my friends, those night spent talking without doing something very special, those moments at school with my class. Before this, I complained because I didn’t want to go out or because I prefered doing something funnier. I really regret it. Now I can say that everything was so special and simply perfect, also the things that were considered too simple to be funny. I miss everything: a hug, a laugh, a joke, a kiss. I think that small things were the ones that I loved.

Dear guys of the future!

I’m talking to you from the past, and if you’re going to read this letter, it means everything went well. The motto these days’s "Everything will be fine “and we hope it will be so.

I’m a girl who at the time of covid-19 was just 18 years old. You know that they look forward to 18 years; 18 years is like the final half and instead it’s a number, you simply have more responsibilities. I was ready to get my driver’s license, to feel "great" when a virus arrived, which at the beginning of this year seemed far away. It was thought: Ah in Italy will never come. But here we are, in quarantine. You find yourself locked in the house, forced to be with your parents, not to see your friends for a long time. There’s no more laughs, no more hugs, no more kisses.

We’re forced into a real virtual world, where two hands cannot clench and two lips cannot touch. We’re forced every day to come up with something to do, to spend our time as best we can. But we’re also forced to think about ourselves, to reflect on the value of small things. It’s said that when you lose something you understand the true value and I can only agree. I’ve lived on my skin what it means. I have used this time in the best possible way, established friendships that I didn’t believe and I’ve understood that certain people must or should not be part of my life. I realized the importance of having a coffee in between laughs with friends or even the importance of a nice dress to wear with your boyfriend. The songs sung in the car at the top of their heads or the walks in the open air. When getting up in the morning to take the bus seemed a heroic gesture because the heat of the blankets would never want to leave it, but when you are forced to spend all the time? When in the morning seeing and hearing the voice of your companions is the most joyful moment of the day, even those who are not really nice, you understand the value of things. And I apologize for my mistakes, because I have often taken many things for granted, I apologize because there’s nothing taken for granted! The people who lost their families, the doctors who died. We have to thank and we guys, the least affected by this ugly evil we must reflect. We’ll be better people once this is over and we have to teach future generations that nothing is ever taken for granted. We used to focus on climate change, on reducing pollution, but were we really that important?

No, because we didn’t have to deal with this personally. But now we understand, and one day we’re going to talk to you about these moments, and one day we’re going to tell our grandchildren about this, and we can say that we did it, but we’re really going to do it when we change as people, becoming better people who bring respect for ourselves and for others.

I wish you good luck! And if it isn’t a moment, remember: EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

Hey you, from the future, do you remember what happened to the world in 2020? maybe not exaclty, but you probably do, as it's been a terrible year where lots of bad things happened, but one in particular, remains engraved in the minds of the people who had to live trough it, and yes, i'm talking about you, Coronavirus. I'm writing this message hoping that by the time you will read that, it will be all over (if it's not the case, i will discover it by myself anyway). Lots of things have changed by the moment the lockdown started, in positive and negative ways.
At the beginning it wasn't a big deal for people, but after two months spent in their houses, they started feeling oppresed and bored because they could not figure out how to spend the infinite amount of time they were given by the situation; some tried to get into new hobbies and activities, while others preferred spending all day eating and watching Netflix shows they did not even like. People started being upset because they needed to go outside and meet their friends (except for introverts, they were super happy), they needed that so much that they started having hour-long videocalls just to be able to speak with somebody; who could have imagined that? now, it looks like that the lock-down is going to end soon and that we will be allowed to go outside more, in a matter of weeks, but i'm not excluding the possibility of another minor spread.
However, as I said before, we witnessed also positive events such as a decrease of pollution and the appearence of a surprising amount of animal groups who started roaming around cities, as there was no human on sight.
The situation, has been really tragic at the beginning, but it helped us learning really much. We understood that we don't have to understimate such problems and that our 'absence' extremely helped the environment in ways we have never been able to; that's pretty ironic, right?.

Hey you my dear friends! I completely understand that we've had enough for this situation and that it all ends as soon as possibile. But that doesn't depend on us but also the fate of many people, especially the doctors and nurses working day and night without ever stopping,giving up as real heroes and fighting against this enemy.
At the beginning it was nice to stay at home relaxed and get more sleep but then I realize that doing the same things every day it got boring and sometimes I just miss going to school.
I miss all of you, my classmates, my team-mates and other people important that I hope and can't wai to see  and when things calm down.
Now we just wait that the situation improves,to fight alongside distant but united and so we'll get back together to joke,laugh and hug.

Hey you! Friends, relatives, peers, acquaintances. I wanted to let you know that we are all together fighting this war. It will be difficult but we will overcome all this by joining forces! When you’re feeling sad or blue, think about when we get back to normal and we can relive our lives without any problems, Without thoughts and the fact of being at home will make everything even more wonderful and finally we will be able to enjoy even the small things that before we gave no importance. Hey you.. don’t give up!! Everything will be fine.

Hey you guys!

I just wanted you to know that, I know It's the first time for everybody and that we don't trust what the government does, because everyone has his own opinion, and thinks we should follow that, but we MUST follow the rules the government give us in order to put them in conditions to give us our liberty back. I never thought we could have limits to freedom in 2020 and I understand that is a sad thing but It's up to us. So, as I said before, I think that this fight has a big common aim, so everyone should have the right motivation for doing something.

to my friends, the ones who’s been always there. I miss you a lot. I’m looking forward seeing you, i would never thought that we would be forced to stay home and not seeing anybody except your family for two months. It’s a very hard and difficult time, but we can do it. I miss all of you guys, I miss all the things we have done together, everything. We have almost done it, we have to resist for almost 1 week and finally we can see each other. As I said before it’s a very hard time but we’re going to make it and become stronger than ever. I love you guys.

Hey friends, we haven't seen each other for two months, who would have imagined it? Next month we are halfway through the year and so far this year has not gone as we imagined it. During this quarantine we celebrated birthdays and national holidays, we felt distant yet so close. Technology has shortened the distances but has not eliminated them, we often hear each other and keep each other company.We miss our routines, holidays, many of our programs have been canceled but it's not anyone's fault! We put our health first, knowing that it is what really matters.Let's try to keep morale high and not just make negative thoughts.We are all in the same situation, we are in all this TOGETHER!

Hey you! I decided to dedicate this post to future generations to remind them not to forget the past and fix without committing the same mistakes. Worldwide is going through a hard time because of a virus called covid-19. This virus is synonymous with war, it forced us to lock ourselves in the house for two months; doctors and nurses had to risk their lives to cure the sicks. Students had to leave school without even saying goodbye to our friends and professors, we found ourselves all alone without a solution to such a big problem. Unfortunately, I’ve learned during this time that the world is a place that hides the truth. We don’t know how or why this virus changed our lives, there are those who say it was a jump of species of mice or bats, there are those who say it was created on purpose in a laboratory, but where’s the truth?

I would like to remind you of a better world and one day to discover the truth, to be aware of what is happening and to assert this humanity.

We have had to give up a simple caress, a kiss and a hug for a long time and I hope that this can never happen to you, for this make you plead.

Hey you! I know you are reading. I just want to tell you one thing.

It’s a difficult period. You are going crazy, you would like to tear your hair out. You can't handle it anymore, you're tired, you want to go out, you don't want to study anymore. You are afraid that a relative may get sick. I know it is difficult.

But you have to resist. The beautiful days will come back, you will go back to school, to the gym or to the park. We will all come back to smile. Don't get down!

Look on the positive part of the situation. You have learned to know yourself better. You have learned that even small things are important. You have found the time that everyday life usually steals from you to do what you like best, like reading, drawing, watching a movie.

This is a bad time for everyone, but we will get out of it soon and all this will end.

Since the virus attacked us, you always have been available to find a solution and to save our life. i know that many people are dead but i recognize the effort you have made to keep as many people alive as possible and for this I think you all are heroes, because you never stop to fight against the virus.

So, to all the other people, stay at home for your doctors because they are doing their best to kill this terrible virus.

THANK YOU DOCTORS.

I am writing this message to all of us who in this period are each one in their own homes and we are looking forward to being able to go out and meet the people we care about, spend time with them and start living a "normal" life again. I wanted to remind ourselves to think positively and trying to do something productive as we are often told but also to think that we can spend this time doing the things we like, knowing ourselves better and trying things we would't have done before, so I ask you to also enjoy these time of "loneliness" and to look for positive things of this time. This time has made us see things in a different way, has taught us many things and I really hope that people will behave in a different way when it's all over. Be strong and hopeful because outside your homes there are people who are doing their best!

Hey you! I’m writing this letter to all my friends, to tell them something important about the hard time that we are passing now. All the people from all around the world are worried and scared, the new rules and restrictions changed for real the way of living, the social distiancing is a real problem for us, having your friends in front you without hugging them is a real torture. But we have been locked in our houses for two months for a reason and now we have to deal with it to prevent another quarantine or another big cameback of infected, we have to stay home and we don’t have to create crowds, because the sooner we can defeat the Covid-19, sooner we can start to live our lives normally. It’s a hard target but i know that together we can do everything, and we will re-have our freedom.
