I just picture Italian people out and about on decent mild evenings greeting each other warmly while we’re a sort of wave and ‘all right mate’. Traditional British stand offishness may have been a bit of an advantage this last month or two.
Yes, that's a good point about the "touchy-feely" aspect. If we don't get a sudden exponential increase in cases soon, then it will be interesting to hear what the medical guys have to say about it. Not that I want to see an exponential increase, far from it!
