Posted for only the third time. Give it a rest.
Closing their borders? RACIST!!!
NO lingerie foosball?
Unless the race, ages and underlying medical conditions of those affected are released, the numbers alone mean little in trying to understand this pathogen. 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. The CDC and WHO have this data but they are not releasing it. The data may be very politically incorrect and explosive.
We would have done ourselves a favor if we had treated air travel from Italy the same as from China.
It has 95.35% more fatalities than the second place nation, and 8.7358
times more deaths than the third place nation.
That third place nation, is South Korea.
At 11:13 PST Italy had declared 9,172 cases to South Korea's 7,478.
That's not enough to account for this massive fatality discrepancy.
It almost sounds as if Italy is treating this disease with something
that is costing lives.
Fake news, hoax
If I was conspiracy-minded I would say that this virus was designed to save the social security system.
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.
I guess the Pope won’t be visiting anywhere soon! LOL!
But why lock down a country’s whale? (What does a giant mammal have to do with any of this?)
That’s one way to quell “The Arab Spring” Hijrah. Perhaps all the nations bordering Turkey should do likewise.
They are also the EU air hub for China and are doing a tone of chinese 5G network installs. They are also OLD and smoke like chimneys, add to that socialized medicine and they are screwed.
And many of them live in high density, hygienically challenged ghettos.

By the end of the nineties, the textile industry crisis hit Prato severely and companies started closing down. Yet, the Chinese community kept growing. They started connecting to mainland China, offering the prized Made in Italy label. They diversified production by launching into garmenting and accessories. They enlarged the boundaries by reaching the frontiers of Florence (where the above mentioned protest took place) and entering the lucrative business of leather goods. Of course, most of them kept working illegally. The Chinese triad saw a business opportunity in this for human trafficking and launched a scheme whereby they sponsored workers to travel to Italy and work with no pay: a form of modern slavery. Participants were allowed to leave the system after working a certain number of years to launch their own activity. Many people were incentivized to come from China and work in awful conditions and soon enough, this created a small Chinese town in Italy. Today in Prato, you have 50,000 Chinese people out of which no more than 16,000 are registered (Guardian, July 2016.) Officially, the others don’t exist!
