I take your point, but 99% of this population are used to crowded gatherings and busy living - some even crave it for some mysterious reason!
possibly because 99% of the population are social "animals" , a habit that is going to be hard, but necessary, to break for the time being.

This is scary.

Italy death toll rises by 20 per cent in one day
The latest figures from the Italian Government show a total number of confirmed cases of 53,578, up from 47,021 yesterday.
The number of deaths in the country has risen by 793 to 4,825, an increase of almost 20 per cent since yesterday.

There's clearly something wrong with those numbers (793 to 4825) but for some reason when I went to the BBC news to check them the Italy story has disappeared! - maybe they're checking the data ;)

I take it as an increase of 793, not from 793. It is worded "by 793 to 4825" meaning the previous total was 4825 minus 793 = 4032.

I get the feeling that the severity of what is happening around the world is still being underestimated, and the gut instinct from the main western leaders was to protect financial markets first.

Some folks really aren't taking this at all seriously. I live in north Wales, and have seen video and images of huge crowds out in snowdonia. Never seen it as busy. I am really worried what all this means for me as both a local and nhs nurse.
Hundreds or thousands of people coming here to wait out the pandemic in caravans and holiday homes. Our healthcare service barely manages with the usual population on a good day. Really scary stuff.
