Actually, Northern Italy has the largest population of Chinese immigrants who work in the leather factories they sold to China in the 80’s/90’s/00’s they also also have direct flights to/from China to support the families and workers. That is why they are the epicenter in Europe for the Chinese Virus.

Such a small point, the author missed it.

I find it amazing that the article doesn't even mention this.

Yup. Plus Italy has a high elderly population, many of whom smoke. (I'm not sure most people under 60 smoke as much as they did decades ago).

Plus the Italian huggy/kissy culture (which is sweet, but not good during a pandemic). Also there are many multi-generational households... population is dense in most areas and they have lousy socialized medicine.

And of course the Italians didn't stop the imported 300,000+ Chinese leather workers from returning to Italy from their big Chinese New Year celebrations in Wuhan at the end of January.

Then there was that "Hug a Chinese" thing.

A toxic mix.

And they celebrated their diversity by hugging Chinese people to show they weren’t racist
