Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced on Monday that the government has locked down the entire country in an attempt to deal with the outbreak of the coronavirus, which originated in China.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said the measures, which come into effect on Tuesday, were necessary to defend the most fragile members of the community, the BBC reported. He added that the best thing for the citizens of Italy was to stay at home. Italys coronavirus death toll jumped on Monday by 97 to 463. It is the worst-hit country after China.
Coming Soon to a state near you.
I do not think so.
Excetly.
Null, see this thread and also:
UK researchers are calling for volunteers to be deliberately infected with a coronavirus and held in quarantine in a race against time to find a vaccine for the deadly COVID-19,
Human guinea pigs will be offered £3,500 (NZ$7000) in exchange for two weeks in a secure London facility, where they’ll be banned from outside contact and constantly monitored for symptoms, The Times reports.
People had better have plenty of food and prescription medicine at home.
Between lots of retirees living in Italy, heavy smoking and the very physical way Italians greet each other, no wonder the disease afflicted so many in Italy.
so does anyone with knowledge of the people and the area know why Italy is so special in terms of outbreak.
They aren’t that much different than other countries.
Yes, they have a Chinese population there. But so do we in some areas.
No African ‘migrants’ were hurt making this message.
Chinese have been investing heavily in Italy.
“Coming Soon to a state near you”.
Maybe tiny Rhode Island.
WOW..there are a lot of people on this site that could make some good money
Wonder if they will volunteer.
It is so strange what’s happening in Italy.
I’m trying to figure out how these numbers fit in.
Cases - deaths
Germany 1176 - 2
U.K. 321 - 5
Austria 131 - 0
Norway 206 - 0
Belgium 239 - 0
Sweden 260 - 0
Switzerland 374 - 2
Lot of Chinese came back there after Chinese New Year celebrations. There was a huge ‘family potluck’ dinner in Wuhan. Millions of people fled that city when word of a lockdown went out. Disbursed the population.
Italy hit hard but will spread to the rest of Europe. They had to shut down because the hospital system is overwhelmed.
Doesn’t that apply to the French as well with their kissing each cheek..and lots of smoking.
Make your own safe room and lock the door.
Conte says the measures, “were necessary to defend the most fragile members of the community.
It is fairly certain now the victims of the disease are predominantly seniors in their 80s and 90s and persons with pre-existing conditions that make them vulnerable. It’s an interesting moral choice. Do you shut down an ENTIRE COUNTRY for the benefit of essentially a small percentage of the population?
Why am I suddenly hearing the lyrics to Pat Benatar’s “Little Too Late” right now?
This just highlights how evil socialize medicine and the vaccine industry are
Maybe the Swedes, Norwegians, Belgians, etc. can’t test immigrants in their “no-go” neighborhoods?
I thought Italy was an ally? They sure are going out of their way to get Trump.
