Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said Monday he will sign a decree that extends the lockdown of the Lombardy region to the entire country as Italy’s COVID-19 death toll continues to rise.

People throughout the country of 60 million should not travel other than for work and emergencies, Conte said. He added that all public gatherings will be banned and sporting events suspended.

Thank goodness for Salvini, who kept pushing the Prime Minister to do this, and the PM finally listened.

The good news: nearly 54,000 tests done so far. The bad news: the southern regions, where many "migrants" are passing through, is lagging badly behind in numbers of tests.

Well, if a quarantine saves just one child’s life it’s worth it.

A common term used to refer to Italy when things go stereotypically wrong, such as at the post office, corrupt politicians, bad tv, wasted public money, new infrastructure that is 20 years out of date by the time it is ready. Most used as a hashtag.
