Italy seems to be a weak link.
It's not 447 dead. It's 447 cases.
If someone gets around a lot, and they aren't feeling good, they
can infect a lot of people who in turn infect a lot of others.
Folks need to be on their toes and self-quarantine if there's any doubt.
How did this get out of control in Italy so fast?
*****************************************
They didn’t restrict travel from China like President Trump did for travel to America. Such political correctness (and hunger for tourist money) can have dire consequences.
Cruise ships???
I know Venice was going to stop allowing Cruise ships before this but they do go to other ports.
Pasta fondue!
M.E. immigrants?
Italy in a struggle worthy of King Canute...
I blame Marco Polo for this whole mess.
We have long time friends in Lecco who told us they are all in lockdown mode. Nobody there knows how it spreads. Paranoia to the 10th degree.
See, now that right there...that should teach people something. This is how the frenzied panicked ones get started. A clickbait DOOM title, that more than half won't read the article.
Take a little bit of this, some pieced together video of a old asian laying on the floor in public 5 years ago, a bad chinese dub of a lab worker, an "accidentally discovered" text message to the presumed head of the CDC, and the motivation of views and follows from hundreds...maybe thousands of twitter randoms...THAT...THAT folks is how you feed hysteria. Its textbook...absolutely textbook.
Italy is just doing this to hurt Trump!

Important to realize that the region in Italy most affected by the COVID-19 outbreak is an area with a large concentration of Chinese immigrants and “guest workers”. Chinese workers staff the Italian garment industry. It is also a very politically incorrect but necessary question to ask the race of those who have become infected and seriously ill.
Many Caucasians and Africans live, work and studied in Wusan. It does not appear that they became infected or became seriously ill if they were infected.
Genetic susceptibility to any given pathogen is a critical factor if a pandemic is likely to occur
Shut down Italy’s tourist industry and they will go completely bankrupt. Any bonds anyone was dumb enough to buy, worthless.
Rubbed out like a bug.

Piss poor socialist Healthcare and no real leadership in an EU partner, or any EU partner to get ahead of this
If you hadn’t kicked Salvini out of office, immigration would have slowed down, and you wouldn’t be worrying about this virus.
“Italy sought to rally international support for its virus containment efforts Wednesday even as its caseload reached 447, people linked to Italy fell ill across Europe and as far away as Brazil, and the U.N.’s health agency urged a scaled-up response.”
The scribbler who wrote this nonsensical, jumbled mass of tripe was either a 50 IQ ape or a federal bureaucrat.
As near as I can figure, the scribbler is writing that a virus in Italy has clobbered numerous Brazilians, who were minding their own business in their neighborhood favelas. As a response, the UN will send out its crack team of child abusers to stir the pot.
