    I presume varadkars speech will be about the legislation passed today and what new measures are to come.

    Silvio Berlusoni has donated €10,000,000 to Lombardy hospitals! Bravo!

    That's 0.2% of his $5,700,000,000 Net Worth (Forbes)

    Or ~ €50 for a person on an average Italian net annual salary.

    Mediaset Trial (convicted):
    Estimated €62,000,000 total tax fraud

    I’ve seen similar in relation to other celebrities. If they had no symptoms then why were they tested??? Was he in Italy/Chins/Spain???

    It's like footballers, these people are million dollar assets. They all get tested symptoms or not.

    If going to shops just one person.

    These are the strangest of times for sure. Not only do people have to worry about a threat to their physical health, but their mental health too. Not only are people afraid of themselves or their loved ones catching the virus, they’re afraid they won’t have a job to walk into next week. Anyone who scoffs at the mental health effects this will have on people need to get a grip. While the recession was crippling, at the very least people could still visit loved ones. Now not only can you not go anywhere or do much of anything, but there is a physical distance between most families and loved ones too.

    Because we have only identified cases within the last 17 days, they will need time to recover. It will rise in the coming days.

    When are City Council meetings due to be suspended, or at all?

    My dad, in his 70's, is still attending these and I think it's so unnecessary. There should have been plans to bring them online?

    Time. It takes time. We have only cases for a couple of weeks. Takes a number of weeks to recover.

    Possible that the virus had already infected anyone readily susceptible to it? Which would be even better news in a way...

    That was one of the areas under strict quarantine from the start so that's unlikely. Also whole town tested and 3% had it. Here's more info. Shows measures and testing works in short space of time.
    The first testing round, carried out on the town’s entire population in late February, found 3 per cent of the population infected, though half of the carriers had no symptoms. After isolating all those infected, the second testing round about 10 days later showed the infection rate had dropped to 0.3 per cent.

    Importantly, however, this second round identified at least six individuals who had the virus but no symptoms, meaning they could be quarantined. “If they hadn’t been identified, the infection would have resumed,” explained Prof Crisanti.

    An infection control experiment that was rolled out in a small Italian community at the start of Europe’s coronavirus crisis has stopped all new infections in the town that was at the centre of the country’s outbreak.

    Through testing and retesting of all 3,300 inhabitants of the town of Vò, near Venice, regardless of whether they were exhibiting symptoms, and rigorous quarantining of their contacts once infection was confirmed, health authorities have been able to completely stop the spread of the illness there.


    https://www.ft.com/content/0dba7ea8-6713-11ea-800d-da70cff6e4d3

    Number of new cases & deaths are consistent last 3 days too, looks like they are at the top of their curve thankfully, will hopefully see their numbers drop within the next few days.
