Too bad we can’t learn from Italy. Maybe when WA and NY look like Italy, the rest of the USA will get a clue.

What day was day zero for Italy?

Canada, where I reside, just hit 109.

That said, Canada really is a bunch of solitudes. With the possible exception of Ontario and Quebec, oddly enough, and the Maritimes, available resources in one province aren’t really usable even by adjacent provinces as the provincial population centres are not remotely close to each other.

Yesterday it was reported Patient Zero was a German chap working in the Italian division of his company.

I didn’t see this.

Who reported it?

Thanks!
