    And they also tried to hide the virus and discredit people saying it was spreading. Hardly a model case seeing as that's where all this started

    Whatever about all that the fact they built from scratch, furnished, and opened a massive 1,000 person hospital in just 8 days is a very impressive feat.

    Well I absolutely didn't say that.

    But telling people that 4000 known cases is the worst case scenario is just completely and utterly false.
    People need to be ready. Stop lying to ourselves.
    Who said it would be 4000? They've already alerted us to a possible 15,000 cases in 10 days time.

    I believe so, it was reported there were 546 deaths in Lombardy alone.

    693 deaths yesterday, would not make this total surprising.

    I heard it put in terms that 2 people an hour would be expected to die of flu ill assume in Italy, currently 24 people are dying per hour in Italy

    Sadly it's more than that.

    Unfortunately the death toll is still going to keep climbing for a while yet.

    I'd like to see the case numbers for today.

    How have Italy ****ed this up so bad .. surely with cases continuing to rise they are still doing something very wrong ? Are people still out and out interacting with each other ? I know they left a lot of the enforced isolation to late. But still crazy numbers so far into this.

    Those Italian figures today are correct regarding deaths, but keep in mind of that number 546 are in Lombardy alone

    China built and opened a 1,000 person hospital in 8 days, lets see how long this takes:-

    https://twitter.com/FergalBowers/status/1241404760986714118?s=19

    China doesn’t have to worry about litigation, who gets paid, tax payers money, tendering and so fourth.
    The reason they can build in 8 days is because they just order people and companies to build them and that’s that.

    If you want that built quicker maybe you should get whatever equipment you have and go up and give them a hand?

    Essentially. The head of the Red Cross in China was in Milan during the week meeting the authorities to lend his input. He was shocked by what he saw and was critical of the supposed lockdown. People still out without masks, public transport operating, people still having parties in hotels.

    If they want to beat it, they need to go into actual lockdown. By Thursday, there had been 52,000 fines in Italy for people being out on the streets. They're still not taking the necessary measures as a society (I don't expect we will either, by the way).

    They came at it far too late with too few measures. This is what happens when a health system is completely overwhelmed and as some Italian doctors have said decisions are being made on who lives and who dies.

    Percentage of new cases in Italy is 12.2%, yesterday it was 12.7% and the day before it was 13.0%, please let this be the start of a trend.

    I suppose they could be testing more people as well which would be a good thing.

    Welcome to exponential growth. The lockdown is only a few weeks old. It takes 4 to 6 weeks for measures to show. Those measures will only delay the rate of growth hopefully creating a plateau. The numbers would remain consistent for some time. Then slowly with lots of optimism they will begin to fall. What's happened Italy this week was set in stone weeks ago.

    943 added to the recovered list in Italy total is 6072 . It's worth keeping an eye on that too over the next few days
