Sorry this is anecdotal propaganda posed as real news. MOD pull this thread
It’s not the entire country of Italy, it is a region of Italy.
Rome still has relatively few cases, and while those numbers may increase a bit, I don’t see it totally overtaking it. It hasn’t happened in Beijing or Seoul, and if it were that bad, it would have happened by now.
Keep it, the rebuttals to it will be instructive.
Someone in Italy speaking to Australians is propaganda for whom??
kneejerk much?
Missing point, but go ahead and panic.
Kind of like nearly every single article published by the New York Times since Walter Duranty. I do agree that the mods should pull all threads sourced there.

Head firmly in rectum.
Yes but we don't, as a society, have the discipline or the docility or respect for authority as the Chinese and Koreans do.
We are more like Italians and Iranians - proud, suspicious of authority, and full of nonchalance and swagger.

The whole country is under lockdown. The nature of any pandemic is that it doesn’t start from nothing everwhere at the same time. The disease travels - if it was restricted to one place, we’d never have any disease anywhere.
Theres people in their 40s and 50s too.
Like people in their 40s and 50s can't have underlying health issues that have weakened their immune systems?
You are really a shameless liar. Italy has 1028 critical clases
For those interested in facts and Science, rater then panic mongering and lying, here is todays world wide data.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
129,386 cases world wide
73,416 resolved. 50,250 mild. 5,711 critical. 68,667 recovered. 4,749 deaths.
Average age of dead: 80 years old
I admire your pearl-throwing efforts to the swine.
You are weeks away from where we are today in Italy, she wrote.
How many weeks?
It’s small right now, like the first little fires under PG&E’s lines, but Paradise awaits the unwary.
Yes, everybody in the entire world is lying to you.
Yer killin me....erh....wait....
They weren't saying "it's just the flu bro" in Beijing or Seoul. They took it deadly seriously. Everyone is in masks, there is mass testing. There are huge quarantines, people aren't going to work. Korea tests more people per day than the US has done in a month. Trump was right when he took action early, but you have to keep at it. Korea was a model we could follow, but it might be too late now.

I suspect a 40 year old with high blood pressure probably doesn’t care a whole lot about the value you place on his life. No one should.
