Despite the blockade because of the epidemic, young people still roam innocently around to catch Pokemon

Pandemic Covid-19 is becoming a fear all over the world and especially in Italy, where the number of infected and suspected cases is increasing at a dizzying rate. Currently, the government of this country has ordered a nationwide blockade to minimize the possibility of spreading the virus. People here are not allowed to leave the house except in extremely urgent cases, if violated, they will even be imprisoned by the police. However, despite the dangerous situation caused by the epidemic, a young man still calmly left home, roamed the streets in the San Fermo area to … catch Pokemon.
​

When caught by the police, this 31-year-old man was playing Pokemon GO with her daughter. Before the extremely dangerous epidemic, people in Italy were only allowed to leave their homes when there was a compelling reason such as buying food or going to the hospital, but when the police asked the reason, he innocently replied: ” I have to go hunting Pokemon.” Of course, one reason bananas are not acceptable. Since the country’s lockdown on March 9, more than 43,000 Italians have violated this rule.

Virus corona affects every aspect of life and games are no exception. Niantic had to cancel Pokemon GO Safari Zones and many other events as well as change some mechanics to restrict players from leaving the house. However, there are still some features that cannot be accessed by sitting still. For example, legendary attacks in Pokemon GO often require a lot of people to join in order to defeat a powerful Pokemon. And of course, players often won’t be able to perform these attacks so as not to gather together in one place.

The young man in this story is like a “deaf not afraid of guns”, despite the law and danger, he still rushes out of the house, even taking his daughter to play games is really helpless. If something happens, it’s not even time to repent.
