Interesting.

Italy had their first case 11 days before we did.

Is that what we’ll see in two weeks?

Thanks for your sane and sensible analysis.

One of the first questions in my mind — how many of the victims, in whatever country, are expatriate Chinese?

It does appear that Asians are more susceptible than whites.

The Italians imported a lot of cheap, chinese immigrants to work the textile factories for the luxury brands in order to have that ‘Made in Italy’ label and keep gov’t subsidies...

they are reaping the fruits of this decision now

they just cancelled the calcio, so you know the China-virus is bad and out of control.

I guess when Everybody in Italy starts running out of food, the lights go out, and the water turns off they’ll have to lift the quarantine.

I expect that they’re going to have to let people do what they have to do and just take care of everyone who gets sick.

What she may be referencing is the public’s reaction to it.

I can see that being true.

How deep did you dig this pit?

“ It almost sounds as if Italy is treating this disease with something
that is costing lives. ”

Maybe the Mafia is using this as an opportunity to settle some old scores.

When the diagnostic kits are widely available it will be shown that the virus has infected many but relatively few are becoming seriously ill or dying.

Actually, you want them to be seriously ill or dying, because that way they aren't wandering around at liberty and infecting thousands of other people without knowing it.

I did the right thing and started panicking today, running around for about an hour like a chicken with its head cut off. At my age an hour is about all I can manage, but by this time next week I hope to be up to ninety minutes.

No doubt China has been lying all along. I wouldn’t assume that they increased their rate of lying a hundred fold over the last 10 days though. I’m just looking at the data you posted.

Well, I didn’t see it the first 2 times, and I suspect others didn’t. So perhaps you could give it a rest.

Awful looking, looks like they were infected much earlier than previously thought (e.g. fashion industry workers returning from Lunar New Year holiday in China?).

Another thought: if COVID-19 escaped from a Wuhan lab as a failed vaccine experiment, is it possible more than one experimental strain was released, and Italy got the nastier version?
