Italy's coronavirus death toll surged by 969 today in the biggest one-day jump that any country has suffered so far.

The hundreds of new deaths bring Italy's world record total from 8,165 to 9,134, an increase of 11.9 per cent since yesterday.

Meanwhile Italy's total infection count rose by 5,959, bringing the total from 80,539 to 86,948 and surpassing China which has racked up 81,897 cases. The United States has the highest tally in the world with 86,012.

The head of Italy's national health institute warned today that 'we haven't reached the peak and we haven't passed it'.

At this rate, everyone in Italy will be dead by June 12.

[Leep]

I thought we were all suppose to be dead by then?

[dfwgator]

The question is, is it still increasing in the North?

Or is it reflecting an uptick in cases in the South?

[technically right]

No sane person would believe any statistics coming out of Communist China.

Well, for the second day in the row, Italy proves that the CCP has been lying from the start about their case count, and CFR. Their total has to be a LOT higher, and there is no way that they’ve managed to reduce new cases to essentially zero.

The CCP MUST be held to account.

Hopefully this is the worst. It must turn around soon. Prayers for all in Italy.

It’s now the leading cause of death in Italy, on a daily basis at least.

I guess they won’t be having another “Hug a Chinaman Day” again in the near future!

Math is hard.

[glorgau]

Needs a breakdown of deaths by age decile.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Clearly they are not flattening the curve. This may be us in a couple of weeks …

[bramps]

Wow. Very sad.

Will be interesting what the take is on this at tonight’s press conference.

U.S News Media all week, happy feel good stories, back to normal with hand washing and distance, China numbers dropping too just like Italy. Time for US companies to rev up in China again.

Thanks doc, well said.

New York has recorded 100 CV deaths in the last 24 hours, a huge jump.

#6: no way that they’ve [CCP] managed to reduce new cases to essentially zero.

Sure they have. They have a magic cure: a 30 caliber bullet to the head.

The CCP and NBC/Concast Must be held to account.

Maybe the Com in Comcast has a different meaning than we think
