Coronavirus Exclusive: Why Italy?
Many Italians in Northern Italy have sold their leather goods and textiles companies to China. Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan and Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct flights between Wuhan and Northern Italy. This continued post outbreak, so is it mere coincidence that Northern Italy is now Europe’s hotspot for Corona Virus?
The murky reality is that the EU turned a blind eye to vast numbers of illegal Chinese immigrants working in Italian factories. The ‘Open Borders’ EU will of course try to keep this under wraps, but reality is, the Chinese Mafia operate Italian textile factories with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants shipping ‘made in Italy’ goods into China and elsewhere.

The Chinese Workers Who Assemble Designer Bags in Tuscany
The first significant wave of Chinese immigrants arrived in the industrial zone around Prato, a city fifteen miles northwest of Florence, in the nineteen-nineties. Nearly all of them came from Wenzhou, a port city south of Shanghai. For the Chinese, the culture shock was more modest than one might have expected. “The Italians were friendly,” one early arrival remembered. “Like the Chinese, they called one another Uncle. They liked family.” In Tuscany, business life revolved around small, interconnected firms, just as it did in Wenzhou, a city so resolutely entrepreneurial that it had resisted Mao’s collectivization campaign.

Well, there you go. Mystery solved. Now, what connection to Wuhan did that nursing home in Seattle have?
Yep. Iran too. Lots of folks from China traveled to those countries during the outbreak in Wuhan.
Interestingly, the Wikipedia article contains this sentence in the description of the early origins of the outbreak in Asia, in the early 14th century:
Due to climate change in Asia, rodents began to flee the dried-out grasslands to more populated areas, spreading the disease.They just toss this off like no one will notice. Climate change, 700 years ago? How can that have been?
I think illegals are the link.
well, how is Italy going to keep the “made in Italy” label without Wuhan virus!?! /s
of course it is obvious now that Italy is a hot zone, the new cases in usa can mostly be trace back to EU
I don’t know that worrying too much about how it started there is as important as the fact it’s already there wreaking havoc. A spilled milk type of thing.
“Italy then allowed 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan and Wenzhou to move to Italy to work in these factories, with direct flights between Wuhan and Northern Italy.”
Yes, so the consumers saved tons of money from the cheaper labor. It’s all benefits! No costs! Well, there is the matter of the virus ...
The "savings" are trivial compared to the final per unit retail price. It saves a little on production costs and profits but the final price is hardly affected. GloBULLism is BS.
Don’t be like Italy. Don’t elect crazy anti-vaccination Catholics to run your country.
Two colossal mistakes, even before the virus enters in.
Italy is famous for being a world leader in leather goods. So they are selling their unique advantage. And then they are not even maintaining employment of Italians.
North Korea and Russia shut down their borders with China before it was getting out of control. These countries surely know each other very well.
I read it was started by one person visiting the nursing home but they gave no details on who that person was. They sounded as if they knew but nothing more was said. Somebody apparently had to visit grandma in the nursing home and killed a lot of elderly by doing so.
Unvaccinated children are banned from school in Italy, they were ahead of dozens of other European countries in mandating vaccines — Italy’s vaccination policies are in tandem with those of the US, except conscientious objection is not allowed, unlike here in America. But there’s no vaccine for Covid-19. So what’s your point?
Looks like the Italian govt is H-1Bing their popution too.
Climate change affecting rodent behavious in central Asia is a new one to me. Most of my study of the Black Plague ascribes it to Silk Road “caravansarai.”
“An inn, usually with a large courtyard, for the overnight accommodation of caravans.”
These were built like motels just a day’s caravan march apart all the way across Asia, putting them into the habitat of the plague-carrying ground squirrels. The rats came along with the human travelers and caravans of camels, horses and mules. Local plague-carrying ground squirrels intersected with rats, now that they were co-located.
The plague was endemic to the ground squirrels and didn’t kill them (like bats with Coronavirus, etc). And locals understood, “Stay away from ground squirrels!” and so they had always avoided the plague.
But the Black Plague (yersinia pestis) did kill the rats, who had no immunity, so virus-loaded fleas would hop off the cold dead rats and infect the nearby sleeping human travelers. And so the plague moved by caravan to the Black Sea, and the rats got on board ships, and that’s all she wrote.
You probably already know the above, I’m just recapping the history for the curious.
My point is that anti-vaccination policies help spread viruses.
All the greedy owners cared about was being able to slap a “Made In Italy” label on their fancy fashion wear.
Even if they were made in sweat shops by Chinese wage slaves imported to work more cheaply than Italians.
