Italy reports a 50% increase in confirmed coronavirus cases

Italy reported a 50% increase in coronavirus cases Sunday, as the US further restricted travel and the famed La Scala opera house closed.

Italy's Civil Protection Authority reported the county now has 1,694 confirmed coronavirus cases, up from 1,128 confirmed cases on Saturday. Thirty-four people have died.

Italy has the most coronavirus cases of any country outside of Asia.

Speak for yourself, I'm going in the wheelie bin.

I'm going in a dignified manner, just like our old black lab. £200 quid, the vets and the ashes in a tasteful wooden box on the dresser

You’ve got a very kinky hair stylist.

Source, mate?

I haven’t seen any sort of precipitous drop in mortality rate like that, unless they are excluding the old/infirm, which would be an incorrect method of calculating mortality rate.

Apparently Hancock hasn’t ruled out quarantining “whole cities”. What constitutes a whole city in the urban sprawl that makes up much of the UK? Where does Manchester turn into Greater Manchester? Greater Manchester into Merseyside? Where would a quarantine line be drawn between Leeds and Bradford?

Trafford is greater Manchester and not in Manchester. We are all aware of that geography.

Yes, I saw that later, and my original point still stands that it is not the proper way to assess mortality rate.

Also, it is important to note the following from that information source:

*Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by condition.

This is mass hysteria.

Probably better than mass complacency.

First case being reported uncomfortably close to me, about fifteen miles away and i work with people from the same place.

Company has called an unusually short notice meeting for this morning, we were joking that it was to say no handshakes, but could actually be to enforce home working and no travelling.
