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. Italy’s coronavirus death toll jumped on Monday by 97 to 463. It is the worst-hit country after China.”
Over the weekend it was only Lombardy.
Italy depends HEAVILY on tourism, their entire economy relies on tourism. They waited too long to shut down travel.
Italy and Japan have large elderly population. So that’s a major factor.
This statistic illustrates the percentage of elderly population in Italy from 2009 to 2019. The elderly population is defined as people aged 65 and over. According to data, the share of elderly people in the Italian society constantly grew, reaching 22.8 percent as of 2019
Conveniently favors resolution of two Italian domestic crises: the sad state of Italian banks, which want the ECB to prop them up, and the African migrant problem, which Italians want to stop.

Today was the biggest daily stock market drop since 12/1/2008 where S&P dropped 8.9% during 2008 great recession. What happened next 1 day later S&P popped 4% and 1 week later S&P was up a whopping 11.5% and that was in a lot worse economy than today.
A big pop could be coming
So this makes sense and explains quite a lot.
People were wondering were all of those people went.
I have read that patient #1 had recently been visited by Chinese friends. I was surprised at that.
