IN THE QUARANTINE THE DECAMERON...

In the quarantine The Decameron!? Well, I know there is a contradiction, because quarantine means forty days (quaranta giorni) In the middle age such a long time had to be decked out by the foreign sailors before they could land in the Venetian port. The decameron means only ten days (deca = ten + haemera = day) Boccaccio's heroes fled for ten days from the plague of Florence. So there are more thirty days, or at least four more left, because this current crown virus is supposed to be discovered in fourteen days. Who knows...?
