Six countries share a border with Italy (France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino, Vatican).
Most of the coronavirus cases in Italy have been in the northern part of the country.

It apparently spread there by people traveling by different means largely from Germany.

Of course course the US has flattering numbers.To register as a COVID-19 death, it's necessary to test and confirm that they had the disease.

Since the US isn't doing that (whereas most other developed countries are), the claimed death rate does not even remotely reflect the reality.
I'm calling BS on what you've written and I've highlighted. The US is testing everyone who shows symptoms, is known to have come in direct contact with, and who has died with symptoms of this.

Here's just one such instance / example where people who met such criteria were being tested:

There has been a reported case of a newborn with CV from it's mother. They aren't sure of how it was transmitted.

There's political bickering between northern/southern Italy.

The county did NOT unify itself to combat the virus until it had infiltrated southern Italy.

Can't make this stuff up.

He seems to like Gov. Newsom because Newsom says nice words about him.

Hell yeah. The cases in my area brought in by Americans vacationing in Europe then their contacts through family and work and then we were off to the races.

The world can burn but they will still need their regularly scheduled international vacations, like a drug.

Regardless who made it, who brought it to our country or your country, who ate what, there are all irrelevant now.

If we don't want to be like Italy, we must take this seriously!

I hope the government authorizes private causes of action against anyone who intentionally worsened the panic, including internet posters and social media users. They need to pay a price for what will be shown to be obviously reckless conduct.
Hospitals are already at or over full capacity.

Yeah, in taiwan, all the new cases were from foreign travelers.

One is an American

you are so right, the world can burn but they will still need their regularly scheduled international vacation.

we should all close our borders. This seems to be the only way.This is nothing personal.

and people are all super sensitive towards this subject, many take it so personally, I don't know why.
