Ethnic Chinese make up about a quarter of Prato’s population, built originally around the textile industry, went into lockdown from the end of January, three weeks before Italy’s first recorded infection.

Doesn't this make you wonder what information did Chinese folks in Italy get, that the rest of the country did not? And the rhetorical question of where did the information come from, whereby a decision was made to hunker down - before a single case in Italy was known.

Good God, people dropping like flies in Italy because China hid the pandemic until they no longer could. But the media says the Chinese are the heroes in all this. And nobody pushes back, we have become serfs.

Yup. Learned it all here on FR in February..maybe even January. Italy created direct flights from Wuhan and allowed over 100,000 citizens from China to move to Italy and work in their factories. In addition, as the Chinese became increasingly wealthy over the last two decades, more and more Chinese citizens moved to northern Italy to reside and many Chinese purchased Italian firms. Never saw anything on msm about it. NOW we’re seeing it on Reuters? “There are thousands of Chinese in Italy...and thank God because they’re saving them”. Riiiiight

It's impressive that some of these individuals independently and strictly self-isolated as soon as they set foot back in Italy.

I's depressing that they DID come back to Italy, knowing that their condition was highly infectious and knowing the Italians had no immunity and no clue.

And as for the chi-com government? Beneath contempt. Enemies of humanity.

Everything about this politicized flu event makes me wonder about the validity of everything that is being presented by the media.

It was China that gave them the virus.


Herd immunity. These Chicoms have no doubt been busy spreading the Wu Flu around Italy and infecting Italians. They should have all been deported.

al Reuters bowing to their Chinese Communist Party overlords.


Blowing might be a more apt analogy.

Just as the infection was increasing in its ferocity, didn’t the Italians have an official “hug a Chinese” weekend??
