Is It Related? Italy Holds the Largest Chinese Diaspora Community in the EU Today – And Now Has the Largest Outbreak of Coronavirus in Europe

The number of Chinese people in Italy has grown rapidly in the last decade. Official statistics indicate there are at least 320,794 Chinese citizens in Italy.

With an estimated 300,000 Chinese nationals, Italy hosts the largest diaspora community in the European Union.

Via Aljazeera — Today, thousands work in small companies across Padua and other areas.

The coronavirus was detected near Padua back on February 21.

Around 50,000 Chinese are employed in Prato alone, Italy’s textile capital near Florence.

The Italian government suspended flights to and from China on January 31 after two Chinese tourists tested positive.

The coronavirus numbers grew from 150 in mid-February to 1,128 cases by February 29th.

Since then the number of cases have exploded.

Today Italy has recorded 24,747 cases of coronavirus and 1,809 deaths.

Italy today is ground zero for the deadly virus.

Denying there is a causal relationship is like Seymour Skinner trying to convince Superintendent Chalmers that there is no fire in the kitchen.

It is a gigantic, shape shifting, multi-focal disease vector, which is mass produced by unskilled labor. It quickly parasitizes healthy, more intelligent hosts who tend to be very blind to the cruel consequences of Faustian bargains.

Of course it’s related.

Lombardy has the vast majority of cases and has a more than 10% foreign born population and that’s legal documented ones.

This includes at least 70,000 born in China.

It is not this population per se but the refusal of the EU to curtail travel from China.
