#3Finally. Thank you Italy.
But it should have happened 2 weeks ago or even before that, there was no reason to wait.
Now the wait has created more outbreaks elsewhere.

Overheard some boomers talking about it yesterday at a cafe. "The chances of getting it are miniscule, we should buy cheap airline tickets while we can!".

It is interesting that so thought hundreds of Estonians regardless of government strong recommendations to avoid areas in Northern Italy.
9 of them returned with the virus and at least two had public contacts before being detected regardless of mandated self quarantine.
To be honest this raises some questions about the actual spread in Italy. Common sense tells that it should be statistically small change to meet a person with the virus, something between around - 0.05 and 0.1 (calculated "on the napkin") but somehow they managed to get it.

Very easy to say. Very difficult to implement. Save human life without destroying (an already bad) economy in between. Especially in Italy a country full of strong opinions.

The dead people do not give a fuck about the economy.

Surely the earlier you do it the least impact there is on the economy. Stoping the movement of people for a month is better than being in limbo for a month and still ending up with a quarantine at the end anyway

We're going to see the same in Spain, from 50 to 500 plus cases in a week but still a very relaxed attitude. Spain ought to learn from China/Italy/S Korea and lock stuff down now.
It seems each country think it'll play out differently for some reason. I imagine in 7-10 days Spain will have 5k cases plus.

I find it also logical conclusion. I think it was pretty clear from the beginning in what direction it will develop and what measures are actually working. It looks incredibly irresponsible to wait this long.
