They were fucking going around hugging Chinese people for a month to prove they weren't racist xeonophobes.

They have the 2nd highest percentage of elderly citizens in the world, behind Japan, but Japan is fanatic about personal hygiene.

320k Chinese in the fashion & leather business living in Italy, plus daily flights to Wuhan until recently. Add in an at risk older population densely packed into cities. Boom.

IOW, the Belt And Road Initiative.

Taking their old population and the dumb stuff they were doing aside, it does make you wonder if somethings not up with the medical system there too.

2 reasons. Demographics and politics.

1.) the country has the 2nd oldest average population age. https://www.prb.org/countries-with-the-oldest-populations/ 2.) they operated the exact opposite way as they should of when the virus was first taking hold. Actually encouraging contact with potentially infected to virtue signal their lack of racism.

Italy leaders white-guilted every citizen into hugging every Chinese they could find in one of the single dumbest virtue signaling events in history.

Several years back, the Italian govt. allowed the sale of some of Italy's leather-processing factories (think expensive Italian shoes) to China, which immediately fired all the Italians and filled the factories with Chinese workers. Those workers went 'home' for the Chinese New Year in January and then came back to Italy, unknowingly carrying... guess what?

Read that. Chinese bought up textile and leather factories in the north and brought in 100,000 workers for the factories. That and the older population created a perfect storm. Prayers for Italy.

They are bamboozled by the Chinese Communist Partys "Belt and road initiative". Hence they were not free to act appropriately when it was necessary. Europe did not come to their help because the European Union is not a fellowship of nations but a crime committed by treasonous grafters.

Lots of Chinese living there. In and out travel.

Plus it's an aging pop.

they havent been reproducing all this time, population is aging and the aged are more susceptible to this disease

Italy's problems: old smokers. Everyone smokes and the average age is 48. Plus, quarantining is a joke to them. They probably just put six sick people in a room together.

I have heard they have a different, more virulent strain than Korea.
