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?

My thought exactly. Is this the same virus as china etc or a mutation?
