Surprisingly the Italian pm stressed that the open connectivity between European countries other than Italy is the main reason. In that case shouldn't those other countries have suffered before Italy?

    'They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese.'

    MARCH 12, 2020

    An ABC News report details the many ways that the coronavirus pandemic is negatively affecting Asian Americans and how many are turning to their Second Amendment rights to defend themselves.

    In one example, an Asian American man was accosted on a New York City subway and sprayed with Febreeze when he wouldn't respond to a man's racist taunts about the virus. In another instance, a woman in California says someone wrote racist anti-Asian slurs on her car.

    A less contentious expression of the discrimination is the drop in customers for Asian American restaurants. Many are closing temporarily while some may close down completely.

    In the face of such racial tension, Asian Americans are turning to self-defense.

    An Asian American gun dealer, David Liu in Arcadia, California, told ABC News that he has already done as much business in the first three months of 2020 as he did in all of last year.

    When the ABC reporter asked one of his customers, an Asian American man wearing a face mask, why he was buying a gun, he answered simply, "For self-defense."

    "People are panicking because they don't feel secure," Liu told the Trace. "They worry about a riot or maybe that people will start to target the Chinese."

Going swimming with children
One of the few positives in this outbreak is that children have barely been affected – in China, less than 1% of confirmed cases were children under nine and none of Italy’s more that 1,000 deaths were children. So children and babies are not likely to suffer severe symptoms.

God, this is just terrible information! Dr Bruce Aylward of WHO mentioned the issue of children, and one of the first thing he clarified was that this could be an artifact from the fact that school stopped early on. If all the children were staying home, then obviously they would not get getting infected as much!

Reading that article, I can't help but wonder, is the UK purposely trying to self-destruct?
