Italian towns on lockdown after 2 virus deaths, clusters

The secondary contagions prompted local authorities in towns in Lombardy and Veneto to order schools, businesses and restaurants closed, and to cancel sporting events and Masses. The mayor of Milan, the business capital of Italy, shuttered public offices.

Seven cases were reported in the Veneto region, including that of a 78-year-old man who died late Friday, said the Veneto regional president, Luca Zaia. Some of those infected were related to the man who died. "You can get it from anyone," he told reporters. "We can expect to have cases of patients who had no contact" with suspected carriers.While the virus isn't particularly lethal, it can be for the elderly or people with existing conditions, he said.

Authorities urged calm, but acknowledged that the clusters were alarming given the secondary contagions. The first man to be confirmed as infected in Lombardy had met with someone who had returned from China on Jan. 21, but remains without symptoms.

This virus is very deceptive does it mutate and go into hibernation? Was it originated in animal cross over or did the evil Chinese government chemical warfare research lab screw up or deliberately release a small sample?

Are we seriously still believing anything China claims while they have been rounding up and arresting doctors, journalists or anyone who tries to get real information out, while we ignore the messages of those same people risked/gave their lives to report real news? It’s amazing that they actually think we believe their bullshit. The world needs to wake and ostracize them.
