Hopefully they're more sensible restrictions than the US policy that prohibits
travel from most of Europe except the UK... but only for foreigners.  If you're
a US citizen, you're still perfectly welcome to go to Italy and come home with
a few extra microbes to pass around a week after you return.

The word for anybody who designs a network firewall with that sort of logic is
"pwned".  Just sayin'.

(Fortunately, I'm in a position to hide in my apartment and only emerge for
grocery shopping at 2AM until things wind down... Hope everybody else has a
good contingency plan)
