Has the virus hit southern Italy in any major way yet?

Would imagine numbers would be a whole lot worse if it gets a hold there.

I'm sure I saw images/video of passengers being allowed to board trains in the north and return home to the south over the weekend. Madness if that is really being allowed to happen.

It’s going to hit everywhere

No solidarity whatsoever. They abandoned Italy.

The EU has no competence in Health matters... that is up to the individual countries.

The EU have been a disgrace as usual, they don't care about people, only power. Look at Russia, HUGE population, closed borders in January - no deaths.

I know why you are saying but we don't know the real truth.

Italy’s situation extrapolated to Ireland will result in how many deaths? It’s going to be strange to see on the News “50 or so deaths” while also trying to understand why life has just stopped.

It will absolutely ,t be tragic but the numbers will feel so small and I think people may just get over it so to speak

Not if a couple of those are your family members.

Chancellor promises three-month mortgage holidays

The Tories. Wont provide houses for wasters yet they can bailout the middle classes.

No wonder they are hated by John in Birkenhead who hasnt worked since 1977.

Given their fatality rate seems to be twice, if not three times the rates of other countries, we could probably say their genuine infections are at least double what they've announced.

Or it could be the fact Italy has the oldest population in Europe with 23% of the population aged 65+.

Of course, I know that. But even still, I’m sure people have lost people here. Life went on. I was back in work 3 days after my old man passed. And keep in mind I was like 25 with no mum either.

You trust Russian figures? Seriously.

Yes because they did what needed to be done, closed borders. There's a reason why Europe has been so badly hit - open borders. Free travel within the EU whilst economically advantageous, needs to be abandoned. But that wont happen thanks to our Brussels overlords.

Oh jesus, I was wondering when you would turn up. you don't think Russia's figures are remarkably, some might say suspiciously, low, considering they share a 4,000km border with China, for starters? And how many tests have they done, I wonder...

Spain up 2000 cases and 200 deaths in 24 hours. It's really getting out of control there.

Madrid has the highest amount in the country what's that about? Over 4,000 cases in Madrid alone and 355 deaths.. yet the rest of the cases are evenly spread out throughout the rest of spain

You think they North Korea is safe? Once it takes hold there, it will spread like wildfire because there is a non existent health service.
