Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom is (Cough!! cough!!!)coming!



Italians extend lockdown across the WHOLE country after death toll leaps by 97 in one day to 463... as travel is restricted, people are told not to go out at night and nation's premier says 'there won't be a red zone... there'll just be Italy'



Lockdown in Italy extended nationwide as previous measures were no longer sufficient to contain outbreak

•New government decree requires all people to demonstrate a need to travel outside the areas where they live

•Photos emerged in Cremona of medics in protective suits with gloves, goggles, face masks treating patients

•Giuseppe Conte pleaded with Italians to 'protect the health of our loved ones' by obeying the new lockdown

•He told people not to 'counter these measures or dodge them' after 16million people were put in quarantine

•Police were today manning checkpoints in Lombardy after the region and 14 provinces were shut down

•Italy's death toll soared from 133 to 366 yesterday, becoming the highest in the world outside China

•The spike marks a 20 per cent rise in the coronavirus death rate within 24 hours in the European country

•Foreign Office said British tourists 'are free to return home or complete their holiday' under Italian guidelines

•Six prisoners died amid jailhouse riots across Italy in protest at a ban on family visits because of coronavirus.


Travel restrictions are being imposed across Italy nationwide as the whole country goes into lockdown to try to halt the spread of the new coronavirus.

Italian premier Giuseppe Conte said on Monday night that a new government decree will require all people in Italy to demonstrate a need to work, health conditions or other limited reasons to travel outside the areas where they live.

Conte said he is extending restrictions on travel from the north to the entire country of 60 million people in a new move to try to stop the spread of the virus that has so far killed more than 460 in Italy.

The premier also took to task young people in much of Italy who have been gathering at night to drink and have a good time during the public health emergency that started on February 21.

Leeds,

"CPAC chairman shook hands with Trump after being exposed to coronavirus"

Trump is 73.

[leedskier] 09/3/2020 16:35

smurfy only for those of us in our seventies.

[smurfy2001] 09/3/2020 16:32

Leeds,

What Trump misses is the Corona virus is 10 times more deadly than Flu. I'll take on board what the experts say.

[cfc1] 09/3/2020 15:21

Trump - bang on (as usual) exactly my view....you have to sit back ans watch the stock market and play it....it was all fabulour and up every day (like TESLA) and now dropped like a stone.
But margin calls, program trades and no logic have taken over!

[leedskier] 09/3/2020 15:20

I am not suggesting it should be, but the former Tory MP standing as an independent candidate said he would have closed it. All very woke!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that

Why would they close the underground?

The people flying in from around the world need transport.

[leedskier] 09/3/2020 14:30

[leedskier] 09/3/2020 14:30

The Government is just ticking boxes.

The Mayor of London also said today that the London underground will NOT be closed.

The UK remains in the "containment" phase of the government's coronavirus plan, but the disease is likely to spread in a "significant way", Boris Johnson's spokesman has said.

London Evening Standard.


Just a little comment on this

I'm going on holiday, to tenerife (adeje) where an outbreak was, I said to my GP shall I come in and have a swab when I return I dont want to possibly infect people, they said no, only get a test if you show symptoms, so I said but I will of been back and amongst people for up to 14 days they said, just go and enjoy your holiday.

That's how serious the GP's think this is, carnt see any containment there or even caution.
They advise you to carry on as normal until you show symptoms, you could have infected loads by then, I go in 6 days, I could get infected on my last day, infect a plane and walk amongst work colleges the next day until I start to show symptoms.
This is their advice. doesn't seem like containment more like lackadaisical.

[cfc1] 09/3/2020 14:12

exactly - Flu kills far more...its madhess, the press (as usual) panic and dont forget a way way overbought market. Good excuse for big traders to batter everything!

[delphiman] 09/3/2020 14:09

Wallstreet suspended, stocks rise on news to prevent panic selling

[leedskier] 09/3/2020 14:04

Interesting that the NYSE is spinning that it is Covid-19 that is driving the market.

The White House says it is far more concerned about flu which this winter has killed 34K in the USA.

All bs of course. The traders are just playing the fear game.
