A map broadcast by CNN on the contagions of the coronavirus in the world indicates Italy as the main responsible e center of the outbreak of the infection. The image shows that a series of arrows leave the boot for all the countries where the virus has arrived. But no reference is made in the image to China, the country from which the epidemic started.
“Coronavirus cases linked to Italy”, is the title which appeared on superimposed and reproposed on social media with indignant messages, which attack the US broadcaster. And controversy broke out on social media. “Good morning Italy and big applause to CNN for the distorted view of the coronavirus”, writes a journalist.
“Serious CNN propaganda that harms Italy by reporting fake news. An attack on our image and our economy,” tweeted the M5s, demanding an apology from the broadcaster.

ChiCom 2019-nCoV.
You bring up a good point. China has long been the source of new strains of virus. They did not, so rapidly, leave China, however.
Now, the world is filled with Chinese tourists. The modern equivalent of the 1950’s “Ugly American” is the “Ugly Chinaman”.
Only, these “tourists” spread disease.
The Italians don’t like FAKENEWS either?
But, the Spaghetti came from China.
Yes, quite a few cases have been arrivals from Italy, but CNN has also been going crazy with its maniacal claims that the virus is caused by our President...or something like that. So has NPR.
It would be really funny and great, if the warm weather ahead quickly slowed and stopped the disease here.
Pakistani, eh? Obviously this is linked to the missing MH370, which, as everyone knows, was hijacked to Pakistan and is setting on an airfield there.
I’m Italian and I’m deeply offended. Racism!
We all get more emails than we can keep track of and I can’t find one I received that was about IRAN. I won’t even try to give details but it was pretty much about the connection between people from China going to Iran or Iranians to China. Wish I could find it...it seemed to account for the large number of cases in Iran.
If it's May 3rd where you are, how are things looking?
05-03-2020 is outside of the US; inside it’d be 03-05-2020.
Like the rest of the world uses Metric, most of the world uses dd/mm/yyyy for dates.

The community of Chinese people in Italy has grown rapidly in the past ten years. Official statistics indicate there are at least 320,794 Chinese citizens in Italy, although these figures do not account for illegal immigration, former Chinese citizens who have acquired Italian nationality or Italian-born people of Chinese descent.[1]
Prato, Tuscany has the largest concentration of Chinese people in Italy and all of Europe. It has the second largest population of Chinese people overall in Italy after Milan.[2]
Thanks for the data re the Chinese population in Italy.
Fascinating, a bit above my pay-grade...you may find this site of interest:

Chinese Peruvians, also known as tusán (a loanword from Chinese: 土生; pinyin: tǔ shēng; Jyutping: tou2 saang1; literally: "local born"), are members of a Peruvian ethnic group whose ancestors came from Guangdong Province in China. They are people of overseas Chinese ancestry born in Peru, or who have made Peru their adopted homeland.

I don’t blame them for wanting to live in Tuscany.
Thanks, I now have one of my rare headaches.
