Italy's communist recipe for disaster
2020-04-04
A taste:
[Smith & Wesson Forums] Montecalvo, Lombardy, Italy. As I sit here in my involuntary isolation, it was just reported that overnight 743 more people died and 5.249 new cases have been reported. This brings the total cases of infection to 69,176 and the body count to 6,820. We take relief in knowing that 8,326 people have recovered so far. (Numbers as of 3/24,8:30pm in Italy.)

Most towns here in Italy, from the upper reaches of the Alps to theancient shores of Sicilia and Sardenia, while not deserted, are closerto being ghost towns than the bustling centers of tourism, business and daily life they were just a few weeks ago.

Stores and shops have been shuttered. Restaurants and coffee shops nolonger serve customers. Schools, universities, sporting arenas...even our museums and theaters...all closed. Even the Vatican City has closed its gates and armed patrols monitor the 20 foot tall walls that protect it!

#4  The Italian Left and the EU's Austerity Push both worked to force Italian businesses into foreclosure and they got bought up by the Chinese.

If you look at Italy, Spain, and Portugal stats you see the same except the starting time.

That's 10% mortality.
