Two Chinese tourists, who arrived in Milan on 23 January via Milan Malpensa Airport and travelled to Rome on a tourist bus, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and were hospitalised in Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases on 31 January. then the big outbreak started on 14 February. During the one week trip of two chinese patients they must spread the virus everywhere

When talking about Corona we automatically talk about economy.... So there is something wrong or may be made to crash down the world

Weird how those cases of corona has increased in Italy over 1120 case until now!
was that because Italy delayed to close the flights with China?

Italy, the Hubei province of Europe.
Iran, the Hubei province of Middle East.
Considering the output cases, there are probably already more than 10000 infected.

We are not answering why Northern Italy has suffered from this virus?

[josephduan]

Japan: No more infected if we don't test them
Italy: No more infected if we don't reveal the number
US: Well, we're just havin' seasonal flu
Korea: hallelujah!
