    How nice to see that civility has indeed returned to, at least some of, the threads.
    Or what you consider to be civility at least!

    Tonight I was texting a sales leader I know in Italy; they are all very anxious.

    I don't think anyone is taking this lightly anymore. I am concerned about a clan member we have living there.

    i am doubtfull that this is true.

    but, if it is , this is what social(ism) medicine brings you.

    poor doctors, poor facilities, poor pre-ventive care, etc.

    socialist medicine has no capacity to care for the population.

    it does provide salairies to the politiclally appointed administrators who are eating pasta by the seaside.

    Why would they lie about how many deaths they have?

    I understand that the authorities are trying to delay the spread, but that's just so that the hospitals will get more time to prepare for the influx of patients. It really isn't something that most people (in first-world countries) need to be worried about IMHO.
    Looks like a world wide recession.
    Could be a great opportunity for Australia & NZ
    (providing they keep it under control)???

    Your stupidity level is reaching critical.

    Italy has one of the finest health systems in the world.
    You won't find one credible source which claims otherwise.T

    No, what you are talking about here is conservatism.

    We've all seen now how conservative government reacts to a crisis. It doesn't. It just "doubts that is true" until enough people die that the people demand action.

    I do believe you pretty much hit the nail on the head so to speak.

    There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that
    Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did
    it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
    Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that
    Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed
    Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.

    More than 233 people have died in Italian road accidents so far this year, yet Italians are unconcernedly driving their cars. Your point is?
    My point was and is, more will die.
    Nearly 11,000 Italians dead now.
    A lot has happened in 3 weeks!

    Has your opinion of COVID-19 changed now?
    I think many have changed their oinions .... it's not a bad flu season!
