hi, I think the Italian case is unique as

1. they were in the second wave to be hit
2. they didn’t take precautions - the authorities did what they could and gave kids 2 weeks off, but they went out clubbing, spreading the disease
3. the Italians didn’t change their lifestyle - they are a friendly lot with the handshaking and kissing - which was a death sentence now
4. They have a lot of old people

What hit them was the sharp bell curve.

In Poland the government has put in harsh - harsh measures. No shops open except groceries and aptekas. All schools and colleges closed. People working form home. No gatherings of > 50 people.

As for mass — our parish did this

1. Masses for less than 50 people - first priority to petitioners
2. Oldies are recommended to stay at home - the priests are going around with communion.
3. More shorter masses
4. Communion given outside to those who want and can’t get in to the mass
5. Online mass

Take care
