Coronavirus : Pandemic Alert

Some days ago our gov (Italy) closed all the skiing structures because people looked at this period like an holyday, after the closure a lot of people not happy with the decision went to France, and if that was not enough some of the owners of the italian skiing structures lamented that because they wanted that income.

At first we blocked just Lombardy but the info of the quarantine was leaked some hours before it was applied and a lot of people escaped the region bringing the virus even in South Italy, soon after the quarantine was applied to the whole nation.

SIince yesterday morning in Italy the whole population (60M) can not go outside their house if it is not for work, buy what they need (food, beverage etc.) or because of serious health problems. At least until yesterday I enjoyed go running outside on my own but now even that is impossible. Yet I'm glad since we are at least fighting it.

Now France too closed all its schools and universities.

Merkel thinks the contagion can go up to 60-70% (don't recall the exact number) of the german population. She wants the regional govs to move faster.

The BCE's president by saying they will not try to adjust the spread, countries have the FMI for that, sinks the markets (Italy -17%, France, Germany -10%).

Trump blocked all the flies from and to Europe, but not from England. Not that this matter anyway since America already has its several hundred certified infected.

China claims the USA are not being transparent about the infos on coronavirus in America, and what is even more lunatic is that they probably are right. Also they are now accusing the USA to have used the virus on China and on the other hand claiming how well their gov managed it compared to how western democracies are doing. He is probably right about the management but that doesn't mean that we have to get a dictator, already have that plenty 80 years ago.

Russia, almost half the landmass of the asian continent, has officially 7 confirmed cases of infected.

accusing who?
 
Most likely people are preparing for long shutdown. They need paper to shit .

All shop will be closed soon enough if govt prepares for complete shutdown.
We had and did something like that. All the supermarkets never get out of stock and now that we are closing everything we have left out obvioualy supermarkets, shops to buy cigarettes, plumbers and electric technicians, of course hospitals and about factories for now it is left to the single (the owner ofbthe factory) to decide what to do, for now at least.
 
what evidence do they have for that
and why would usa do that knowing it affects them here.
None as far as I know but what is important is to bring up its own agenda with propaganda. Same with they saying they handled it better than the western democracies just to bring on thebidea that China's dictatorial form of state is better than the western's. And probably they handled the virus better so far but that is not a good reason to throw democracy in a bin and embrace a dictatorship.

I read this morning that to fight it in China people had to install in their smartphones 2 distinct apps which registered their data and position so that the gov could see if they violate or not the quarantine and of they are later found infected they can see who they met in the last 14 days. This along with forced remove of people from their homes helped for sure a ton yet only a dictatorship can do this. Maybe in Italy we could arrive at that point, if it is even possible to apply something like that in Italy, but it is far heavier and non democratic compared to what we have now. Hope we don't need someting like that.

Europe not tightening the airspace was mistake. They even allowed football player to play as usual despite italy rise in case.

It just shows corporate do not want to lose their economy. The virus sees no color or creed , money making is least mattered at this point of time.

No one cares in the end if the survival rate of everyone is same. What worse corrupt govt no longer care for the people.
 
These are the hardest measures taken by a democracy outside of war time (at least in Italy).

Anyway going back to the football situation in Italy our football league serie A played a game when every other sport had already closed everything. And that game was to make Juventus be again the first team of the championship so that then they can stop it and give them the prize. That match was Juve - Inter and now we have both teams in quarantine.

Also about other euro govts.. we did it first because we were the first to be taken to this situation, when we first applied the quarantine to the whole nation we had around 9k infected (now a few days after they are 15k and more than 1000 deaths). The second place in Europe as of now is Spain with around 3k and then France and Germany. Sooner or later they will have most likely to do the same as us yet they are not sure since they have not still our numbers, also I read somewhere that Germany has ready 28K intensive care units so they have larger shoulders than Italy (we are already under heavy pression with these numbers).

Its better to close football games for next 2 months.
 
^ lol, so theatralic

Trump blocking flights from the EU but excluding GB exposes this move as politically motivated, considering it's spreading in GB too.

Also, Trump, who blamed the EU for the spread in the US (reru) now had personal contact with the spokesman of Bolsonaro (Brazilian president) wjo was tested positive, but won't be tested himself. What a turd.

Germany is now shutting down schools, kindergardens & universities in several federal states.. the drama.

More reports on how the Coronavirus is being underselled by the Government. Apparantly, coronavirus is deadly for all ages as it can affect breathing, essentially making people suffocate to death(it can give you asthma symptoms as well). Its not guaranteed you'll get those serious symptoms but it's a possibly. Breathing machines are in low supply due to the increasing number of patients as well.

Because of this, people in the 20 to 40 age range are given priority over kids and seniors, hence why the latter 2 have the highest fatality rate.

I ll put everything so that any misconception doesn't happen .

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing
