Deserted streets. The shops shut. A 6pm curfew. That's Italy now... so how did they get coronavirus so wrong?

Chinese, that’s why, they were all over Milan.

That’s exactly what I heard on Mark Simone’s show this morning. His everyday caller, Vincent, said that there are disgusting sweat shops all over the Milan area making knockoff clothes. Filled with Chinese.

Use baby wipes in place of toilet paper. They take up less space, one wipe is usually enough to do the job, and they are in stock.

Note Italy isn’t releasing any demographic data about the victims.

A number of years ago a friend of mine went to northern Italy to work for Augusta Helicopter and while there his wife delivered a baby in a hospital. A nurse came by and his wife told her there were no towels in the bathroom. The nurse asked, "Didn't you bring your own?" Later, his wife told someone there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. You guessed it: "Didn't you bring your own?" The good news is that his wife and baby were fine.

Back in the Stalin era, Westerners who visited the Soviet Union were advised to bring their own toilet paper.

People don’t really understand what National Healthcare means.

Use baby wipes in place of toilet paper.

But don't flush them. They don't break down in septic tanks or septic systems.

” anyone above the age of 80 with 1 additional health risk in Italy is denied hospitalization”

I heard in one interview the Doctors are having to determine who lives and who does not live. They ran out of resources to keep people alive. It is hitting younger people too.

Really feel bad for the Doctors having to make that decision. Very hard to live with.

[Sergio]

But don't flush them. They don't break down in septic tanks or septic systems.

Very true and very excellent advise. I would suggest a "Diaper Genie" to dispose of used wipes. It will cut down on smell and the attraction of pests, and you can dispose of used wipes in your trash.

Huge fashion-textile industry employing Chinese?

How did Italy get it wrong? Open bborders. Trying to stop exposure by isolating sick citizens is silly with thousands of migrants pouring over the borders unchecked.

[BlackbirdSST]

dont they hire a bunch chi-coms to work in Milan ¿?

I don't know how many Milan imports but I'd bet we import many more.

[GingisK]

Americans really need to adopt the bidet: no more toilet paper. Also, a cleaner butt. A hand-held sprayer in the shower works just as well.

[nascarnation]

Have one of those, and plan to use it if things go really downhill.

“Don’t Panic” was interpreted as “just ignore it”.

[lepton]

Figure out something to do with the wipes that doesn’t involve flushing them. They don’t really break down, and along with fat form huge clogs that are difficult to remove.

What is Italy’s connection with China?

What is Italy’s connection with China?
Or, perhaps Iran?
